T9 Text Entry
At the text editor screen, press Softkey 1 (Mode) until the T9 appears above the Softkey 1 indicator on the display screen.
T9 text entry is fast, easy and intuitive text input. Press one key per letter in a word. The phone predicts or guesses what you are writing. For example, to enter the word “show,” spell out the word by pressing four keys: 7, 4, 6, and 9. T9TM text input recognizes that the most commonly used word matching that numeric entry sequence is “show.”
If more than one word shares the same numeric entry sequence, the most commonly used word displays highlighted. The number of available words (for example, 1 of 11) displays beside the T9 above the Softkey 1 indicator. If the highlighted word is not the desired word, press Softkey 1 (Prev) or Softkey 2 (Next) until the desired word displays.
Press 0 to insert a space after a word.
If the T9 word list does not contain the desired word:
Enter any characters till Softkey 2 (Next) indicator on the display screen changes to Softkey 2 (Spell?).
Press Softkey 2 (Spell?) to change the text editor into Spell mode. The text entry mode automatically becomes normal text entry (ABC).
Press CLR (Clear/Back) to delete unnecessary letters and input the characters for the new word. Press Softkey 1 (T9) to return to T9 text entry.
Symbol Mode
In the symbol mode, the screen displays the available symbols (see the symbol screens below). Press the 
(Number Symbol) key in text entry mode to turn On and Off the symbol mode. Press 
(Left), 
(Right), 
(Down), or 
(Up) navigation key to highlight the desired symbol and press Softkey 1 (OK) or 
(Select). The required symbol displays on the text editor screen.
Make sure that the cursor is positioned where you want to input the symbol. If a word is highlighted in T9 text entry, move the cursor to the end of the word. The symbol mode cannot be used if a word is highlighted.
