Entering text in Multipress mode
When you are in Multipress mode, you can enter a letter by pressing the number key on which the letter appears. To enter the first letter on the number key, press the key once. To enter the second letter, press the key twice, and so on. The letter entered most recently is underlined until you have completed the keypresses for the letter and moved on to the next letter.
For example:
•To enter the letter "s," press 7777.
•To enter the word "hat," press 44, 2, 8.
When you enter letters that are on the same number key, you must pause after entering the first letter and wait until the underline disappears before entering the next letter so that your Smartphone can process the first letter. This pause is called the Multipress time out, and you can adjust the length of the pause between keypresses.
For example:
• To enter the word "cat," press 222, pause, press 2, and then press 8.
