Section 5: Entering Text

This section outlines how to select the desired text input mode when entering characters into your phone. This section also describes how to use the T9 predictive text entry system to reduce the amount of key strokes associated with entering text.

Using the QWERTY Keypad

This phone offers the convenience of a QWERTY keyboard-style keypad. Using the QWERTY keypad to type letters, numbers, punctuation, and other special characters into text entry fields or other applications should be simple and fast.

By default, the first letter of an entry is capitalized and all consecutive letters are kept in lowercase unless you press the Shift key. After entering a character, the cursor automatically advances to the next space after two seconds or when you enter a character on a different key.

The keypad provides dual-use keys labeled with alphabetic characters on the bottom half (in white) and numbers and symbols on the top half. Press the key corresponding to the character you want to enter.

Special Keys

The following keys perform special functions when entering text in T9 or ABC mode:

1.Shift (): Press quickly to set the current text input mode (initial caps, lowercase, and all uppercase). Press and hold

to activate or deactivate the T9 mode.

2.Function (): Press once to type special characters and numbers that appear on the top half of the QWERTY keys.

Examples: $, @, #, !, 1, 2. Press twice to type multiple characters (CAP LOCK). Press again to deactivate this function.
