Entering Text Using Alpha Mode & Adding Words to the T9 Database

Words that do not appear in the T9 database may be added easily using multi-tap text entry in “alpha” mode. The “unknown” word is added to the T9 database automatically so you can type it in “word” mode in the future. To add a word to the T9 database, follow the steps below.

1From any screen that displays one of the four text entry modes (word, alpha, SYM, NUM), press the rightountil “alpha” displays.

2Enter the word using multiple key presses as required for the desired letters. For example, to type “test”: press 8 once, 3 twice, 7 four times, and 8 once.

3When you return to T9 Text Input (word mode) the word is auto- matically added to the T9 database. To return to T9 mode, press the rightountil the T9 indicator “word” appears in the display.

NOTE: You must return to T9 mode to save your word in the data- base for future use.

User Tips

•To add a word to T9’s database, the word must be typed entirely in “alpha” mode and you must then return to T9 mode (word mode). The combination of these two actions will store your word in the database.

•Words that you add to the T9 database will always begin to appear in third position, meaning you will need to press 0 twice before your added words appear.

•T9’s database cannot store alphanumeric combinations (i.e. Y2K) or web URL’s.
