Pinyin input method

Pinyin symbols are mapped to number keys. You can press the corresponding number key once regardless of the intended symbol’s position on the key. The device will make logical combinations and display all feasible matches to those Pinyin symbols you just pressed.

Use Pinyin input method

1Input Pinyin symbols and tones: Press number key once for each Pinyin symbol you want to input (use "v" for "ü"); When you start to input, Chinese input window will be shown on the screen: It shows all the Pinyin letter combinations matching to the keys you pressed; and the candidate Chinese characters corresponding to the highlighted Pinyin. The Pinyin letters displayed on the screen are changing frequently during your inputting process. Ignore these changes before you finish inputting the last Pinyin letter.

After inputting all Pinyin letters, you can also press * to input tones. Press * once to input the first tone, twice to input the second tone, and so on. Press * five times to input the neutral tone.

Tip: Press the right selection key to close the Chinese input window.

2Select desired Pinyin: When several Pinyin letters are listed on the screen, you could scroll in the relevant direction to highlight your desired Pinyin. Press the scroll key to choose the highlighted Pinyin. Thus the selected Pinyin can be displayed in the Pinyin window, and the other Pinyin will disappear, and the candidate list corresponding to this Pinyin can be activated (numbering will be shown on each candidate, and the first candidate is highlighted).

3View candidate list to find out desired Chinese character: when the candidate Chinese characters exceed one line display, there will be up and down arrows showing at the right end of the candidate list. If you could not find a desired character in the current list, you could scroll up or down to view the previous line or the next line.
