Entering Characters by Tapping the Keypad

To enter characters by tapping the keypad:

1.Select the Alphabet mode. (See “Selecting a Character Input Mode” on page 43.)

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

JKL

three times again). (If you make a

mistake, press

to erase a single character. Press

and hold

to delete word by word.)

By default, the first letter of an entry is capitalized and the following letters are lowercase. 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.
