T9®
Using T9® reduces the number of key presses required. When in T9® mode:
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.
Check that the word has been typed correctly before continuing to the next word.
If the combination of letters typed has produced a word which is not the one you require, press e or 0until the correct word is displayed.
Continue to the next word.
If the word you require is not in the internal dictionary, you can enter it using the Multi tap mode, or add it to the internal T9® dictionary.
Adding entries to the T9® dictionary
If the internal T9® dictionary does not contain a word, name, or abbreviation that you require, you can add it. Words that you add to the T9® dictionary are available for future use.
From Multi tap mode, enter the required word.
When the word is complete, press A to select T9® entry mode.

To enter the displayed character, release the key or press another key. The cursor then moves to the next position. If you want to enter two consecutive letters from the same key, for example ‘on’ or ‘ll’, you may need to press d to move to the next position.
You can also select characters from the character list. You can display the character list by pressing and holding a text entry key, or by selecting Menu > Char.List. Only the characters available in your current text entry mode are displayed.
