You can add punctuation or special characters by these methods:

•Press 1 repeatedly while in ABC mode to cycle through some of the most common punctuation marks and special characters.

•Press * to activate the special characters list. A screen appears displaying the available special characters.

•Use the scroll keys to highlight the desired character, then press Insert.

•WRITE WITH PREDICTIVE TEXT

Using predictive text input is a quick way to enter text, using a highly compressed database (or dictionary) of common words that tries to anticipate the word as you enter it.

Watching predictive text guess a word can be confusing, disregard the screen until all characters have been entered.
