3. Text entry

You can use two methods for entering text and numbers: standard mode and predictive text mode.

■Standard mode

Standard mode is the only way to enter text into the contacts list, and to rename caller groups.

Text (Abc)

•Press a key once to insert the first letter on the key, twice for the second letter, etc. If you pause briefly, the last letter in the display is accepted and your phone awaits the next entry.

•Press 0 to enter a space, thereby accepting a completed word.

•Press 1 as many times as necessary to scroll through a list of commonly used characters.

•Press * to display a complete list of special characters.

•Press and hold # to open Editor settings, and select Number mode, Prediction on or Prediction off.

Numbers (123)

To switch to 123 mode from Abc mode, press and hold # at any message entry screen to open the Editor settings.

Select Number mode, and the device returns to the message entry screen and switches the ABC icon in the upper left corner of the display to the 123 icon (or back). To return to Abc mode, press and hold #.

Punctuation and special characters

While at any text entry screen, press * to display special characters (press and hold * if predictive text is on). Press * again to cycle through all available characters. Scroll to navigate through the list of special characters. Once a character is highlighted, select Insert to insert the character into your message.

■Predictive text mode

Predictive text input allows you to write messages quickly using your keypad and the built-in dictionary. It is much faster than the standard mode method, because for each letter, you only press the corresponding key on your keypad once.
