IMPORTANT!

Official emergency numbers vary by location (e.g. 911). Only one emergency number is programmed into your phone to be dialed automatically by Emergency key 9, which may not be the proper number in all circumstances.

Entering text and numbers

You can enter text and/or numbers when storing information into your phone via your phone’s keypad. When you see the letter you wish to enter, simply press the key associated with that letter until it appears on the display (numbers also appear).

ABC mode

When you need to enter letters into your phone, it will

automatically switch over to mode.

Your phone displays the icon to indicate that your phone is in ABC mode. It also displays when you are viewing names rather than numbers.
