2.5Digit and character input, editing

The digit keys have a dual function. If the telephone expects you to enter a telephone number, then the digits printed on the keys apply. When you enter names in the telephone book, the keypad switches over automatically, with the result that the letters/characters on the keys also apply. The let- ters/characters printed on the keys are recalled by pressing the appropriate key several times. To display the letter "C", for example, you must press the key 2thrice. If the next letter you wish to enter is on a key other than the last one, the cursor automatically moves forward by one position. If it is on the same key, you can either move the cursor one position to the right by pres- sing the #key or you can wait until it moves automatically after about 1.5 seconds.

For example, you must press the following keys to enter the name OTTO:

666 8# 8666

8M N O 8T8 8 T M N O

In the editing mode, you can move the cursor to the left with the aid of ± and to the right with , in each case up to the end of the text.
