Pressing a key repeatedly cycles you through all of that key’s options. To enter a letter, press the appropriate key repeatedly until the desired letter appears. Continue this process until the word or name is completed.
Note: If the next letter in the word you’re entering is on the same key, wait two to three seconds for the cursor to advance, and enter the new letter, or press the 0 key to advance the cursor.

Press the three key two times | e |
Press the seven key three times | r |
