Word mode

Word English Text Input lets you enter text into your phone by pressing keys just once per letter.

Word English Text Input analyzes the letters you enter using an intuitive word database and creates a suitable word. (The word may change as you type.)

To enter a word using Word Character Input:

1Select the Word character input mode.

2Press the corresponding keys once per letter to enter a word (for

example, to enter the word Jeff, press 5333). (If you make a mistake, press *to erase a

single character. Press and hold *to delete an entire entry.)

3To accept a word and insert a space, press #.

To accept a word completion (such as Jeffrey when you entered Jeff), press right.

Alpha mode

To enter characters by tapping the keypad:

1Select the Alpha mode.

2Press the corresponding keys repeatedly until the desired letter

appears. (For example, to enter the word Jeff, press 5once, 3two times, 3three times, and 3 three times again. If you make a mistake, press Delete to erase a single character. Press and hold Delete to erase an entire word.)

By default, the first letter of an entry is capitalized and the following letters are lowercased. After a character is entered, the cursor automatically advances to the next space after two seconds or when you enter a character on a different key.
