Pantech Matrix Pro manual Entering Text and Numbers, Change the Multipress Timeout

ENTERING TEXT AND NUMBERS

You can enter text, numbers and symbols by using the keypad. The phone supports four input modes for entering text, numbers and symbols: Multipress, XT9, Numeric and symbols. Multipress and XT9 modes are used for entering text, Numeric mode is used for entering numbers, and Symbols mode is used for entering symbols like “@”, “/”, “$” and punctuation marks.

When you select a field that requires text or numbers, the phone automatically selects the appropriate input mode. The status indicator on the top right side of the display screen shows the input mode that you are currently using.

CHANGE BETWEEN UPPERCASE, LOWERCASE, AND CAPS LOCK
