Using Alpha Mode

To enter text (letters and numbers) while in Alpha text entry mode:

•Press any key on the alphanumeric keypad to enter the letters and numbers on that key. For example, to enter the letter Y, press 9 three times.

•Type a letter then press Q to activate Caps Lock or type a letter then press R to deactivate Caps Lock.

•Pause briefly to leave the currently displayed character in place and move on to the next place in the text entry field.

•Press P to create a space in the text entry field.

•Press C under DELETE to delete one character. Press and hold C under DELETE to delete an entire entry.

Using Word Mode

T9 Text Input software replaces conventional multi-tap text entry, enabling users to compose text messages with only one key press per letter. Since each key on a telephone has more than one letter, pressing the number 5 could represent “J”, “K”, or “L”. T9 automatically compares users key presses to a linguistic database to determine the correct word. For example, entering the word “call” into a wireless phone takes just four key presses with T9, compared to ten using conventional multi-tap entry.
