Text Entry

Your phone provides three text entry modes to enter characters.

T9®	A predictive text entry system. You can enter a word with
	fewer key presses.
Multi-tap	A traditional way to type in a letter. Press a key several
	times until the required letter appears.
Numeric	You can enter numbers (0-9), e and r.

Selecting a text mode

Press and hold [e] to cycle through the text input modes as follows. Multi-tap (Abc) 7 Numeric (123) 7 T9 (T9Abc)

T9® Text input mode

The T9® Text input method enables you to enter text faster and easier. You only need to press a key once for any letter you require on that key. The desired letter may not be displayed. Continue pressing other keys until the end of a word is reached. The program searches its built-in dictionary to predict the word that most closely matches your key presses. If the combination of letters typed has produced a word which is not the one you require, press [5] repeatedly until the correct word is displayed. In case the required word is not in the internal dictionary, press [6] (Spell) to spell the required word if “- - -” appears while pressing [5] to search for the word, or use Multi-tap mode instead.

For example, to enter “Hello!” in T9® mode, press keys as follows.

Key	[F]	[D]	[G]	[G]	[H]	[A]	[5] x 4
Display	I	He	Gel	Hell	Hello	Hello.	Hello!

Note: Before entering text, you must customise the T9 language on your phone (see “T9 input” on page 67).

Displayed characters in the T9® mode vary depending on the T9 language setting.
