Motorola 60g manual Entering Text, Choosing a Text Mode

Entering Text

Various text entry methods make it easy for you to enter names, numbers, and text messages on your phone.

You can enter all characters (letters, numbers, and symbols) using the standard tap method. Other text modes let you easily enter numbers and symbols, or insert text already stored on your phone. Finally, a predictive text mode lets you enter text messages with a minimum of keypresses.

Choosing a Text Mode

To activate a text mode, press M from any text entry screen and select the text mode from the Entry Method menu:

iTAP	Let the phone predict each word as you enter it,
	then choose the word from a list (see “Predictive
	Text Entry with iTAP™ Software” on page 58).
Tap Method	Enter characters one at a time by pressing the
	key for the letter, number, or symbol (see “Tap
	Method” on page 54). This is the standard mode
	for entering text on your phone.
Numeric	Enter only the number that appears on each key.
Symbol	Enter symbols only (see “Symbol Mode” on
	page 57).
Browse	Browse through your phonebook and recent
	calls lists to select a name or number to enter.

Note: The text mode you select remains active until you change it by selecting another mode.
