ABC Input Mode
In the ABC input mode, also known as multi-tap entry, you press
keys one, two, three, or four times to enter the letters you see on
the keypad. For example, press once for “a,” twice for “b,”
or three times for “c”; or press once for “p,” twice for “q,”
three times for “r,” or four times for “s.”
1. Select the ABC input mode. (See page 21.)
2. Press the corresponding keys repeatedly until the correct
letter appears. (For example, to enter the word “Bill,” press
twice, three times, three times, and
three times again.) (If you make a mistake, press to erase
a single character. Press and hold to erase an entire word.)
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.
