Entering Characters by Using Alphabet Mode

To enter characters by using Alphabet mode (multi-tap text entry):

1.Select the Alphabet mode. (See “Selecting a Character Input Mode” on page 35.)

2.Press the corresponding keys repeatedly until the desired letter appears. (For example, to enter the word

“Bill,” press ABC	twice,	GHI		three times, JKL
three times, and then press			JKL	three times again.)
(If you make a mistake, press				to erase a single
character. Press and hold			to delete an entire entry.)

By default, the first letter of an entry is capitalized and the following letters are lowercased. After a character is entered, the cursor automatically advances to the next space after two seconds or when you enter a character on a different key.

Characters scroll in the following order:
