Entering Text

Using T9 Mode

T9 is a predictive text input mode that allows you to key in any character using single keystrokes. This text input mode is based on a built-in dictionary.

To enter a word in T9 mode:

1.When you are in T9 mode, start entering a word by pressing the keys 2 to 9. Press each key only once for each letter.

Example: To enter “HELLO” in T9 mode, press the 4, 3, 5, 5 and 6 keys.

The word that you are typing appears on the display. It may change with each key that you press.

2.Enter the whole word before editing or deleting the keystrokes.

3.When the word displays correctly, go to step 4.

If not, press the 0 key or the Up or Down key repeatedly to display alternative word choices for the keys that you have pressed.

Example: Both “OF” and “ME” use the 6 and 3 keys. The phone displays the most commonly used choice first.

4.Insert a space between words by pressing the

key.
