•PREDICTIVE TEXT

Predictive text input allows you to write messages quickly using your keypad and the built-in phone dictionary. It is much faster than using the standard mode “multi-tap” method. You can use predictive text to write a message and create a calendar note.

When predictive text is on, the icon appears in the upper left corner of the

display. When predictive text is off, the icon appears in the upper left corner of the display.
