Muting/Sending Key Tones

These options allow you to turn the key tones off or on. If the Mute keys option is selected, your phone does not transmit the key tones.

Note: To communicate with answering machines or computerised telephony systems, the Send keys option must be selected.

Using the SMS Service

If you receive an SMS (Short Message Service) message during a call, the message icon ( ) appears in the display.

After you have finished your call, you can read the message; refer to page 63 for further details.

Entering Text

When storing a name in the phonebook, creating your personal greeting or scheduling events in your calendar, you will need to enter text.

You are provided with the following text input modes.

T9 mode

This mode allows you to enter words with only one keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad has

more than one letter – when you press the key 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 traditional ABC mode.

ABC mode

This mode allows you to enter letters by pressing the key labelled with the required letter once, twice or three times until the letter is displayed.

Number mode

This mode allows you to enter numbers.

Symbolic mode

This mode allows you to enter special characters.
