Entering Text

Input Mode

On many occasions you need to input text while you are using your handset, (e.g., storing a name in the Contacts, writing a new message, creating your greeting or scheduling events on your calendar).

The available text input modes include.

T9 mode

You can input a letter using only one keystroke per letter. The keypad has more than one letter on it – when you press the5 keys once, J, K or L may be displayed.

The T9 mode automatically compares your keystrokes with an internal linguistic dictionary to determine the correct word, thus requiring far fewer keystrokes than the conventional Multi-tap mode.

Multi-tap mode

In this mode, you can input the letter you want by pressing the keypad once, twice, three or four times until the target letter appears.

Numeric mode

You can input a number in this mode.

Symbol mode

You can input the special characters like Greek letters, currency units, or a period mark in this mode.

Changing Text Input Mode

When you are in the area where you can input the text, the text input mode indicator will be displayed at the bottom of the display.

Example: Entering a memo.

The number of remaining characters you can enter.

Editing area

The current text input mode and language.

To switch to other text input modes:

1Press the right Soft key indicating the current text input mode.

2Toggle to the mode you want to use by pressing the [ ] right Soft key.

The ‘Language select’ option allows you to change the text input language.
