Entering Letters, Numbers, and Symbols
You can enter letters, numbers, and symbols using the keypad. Your device gives you three text entry modes to help you, depending on what type of characters you want to enter.
In many screens that allow you to enter text, your device automatically goes to the text entry mode most appropriate to the kind of characters usually entered in the field you are entering text in. Press the Alt/Function key (\) to change a text entry mode.
Text Entry Mode Status Indicators
The status indicator at the top right of the display screen shows the entry mode you are currently using:
⬤Primary key entry (i) – In this mode, pressing a key causes the character at the bottom of the key to appear.
■Lowercase (the primary entry mode icon appears as “abc”) – Pressing a key enters the lowercase letter shown on the key.
■Caps (the primary entry mode icon appears as “Abc”) – Press the Caps key (Â) once to switch to this mode. The next letter you type will be capitalized. After that, letters you type will be lowercase.
■Caps lock (the primary entry mode icon appears as “ABC”) – Press the Caps key (Â) twice to switch to this mode. Letters you type will be capitalized until you press the Caps key (Â) again.
