Special Function Keys

Capitalization

When you press and hold the # key, it acts as a

3-way toggle. Press and hold # to make the next letter typed uppercase (shift), to make all subsequent letters typed uppercase (caps lock), or to go back to lowercase letters.

These icons appear in the top row of your display:

m or X Shift is on.

n or W Caps lock is on.

When neither of these icons appear, letters typed are lowercase. Scrolling up after typing a letter makes that letter uppercase.

Note: When creating a text message, you cannot capitalize by scrolling up.

Your phone automatically makes the first letter of a sentence uppercase.

Punctuation

Press 1 or 0 to insert punctuation. Continue to press the key to view the list of symbols available through that key. Pause to select the symbol you want.

Note: Additional punctuation symbols are available in Symbols mode.
