Writing Text

Selecting the Text Entry Mode

Text entry modes make it easy for you to enter names, numbers, and messages.

In the text entry screen, select

E

 

M NU

select one of the following modes:

>Entry Mode, and then

Primary—for entering alphanumeric characters

Numeric—for entering numbers only

Symbol—for entering symbols only

Secondary—for entering alphanumeric characters. (This mode is optional and you have to add it to the list.)

In the text entry screen, you can also press repeatedly to change to Primary, Numeric, Symbol, or Secondary (if you have set it up).

Adding Secondary to the List of Text Entry Modes

Secondary is convenient when you use one language, and sometimes wish to switch to another one.

This mode appears in the list only if you set it up first via

MENU

>Entry Setup.

None is the default programming from factory and indicates no secondary entry mode is selected.

Selecting the Text Entry Method and Language

There are two text entry methods:

TAP—Enter letters, numbers and symbols by pressing an alphanumeric key one or more times.

iTAP—Let the terminal predict each word as you press an

alphanumeric key.

You can use these methods in the languages programmed in the terminal.
