once per letter. (To select the T9 Wordmode when entering text, see

T9 Text Input analyzes the letters you enter using an intuitive word
database and creates a suitable word. (The word may change as you type.)
If the word you want does not display after you have entered all the letters,
press to scroll through additional word selections. To accept a word
and insert a space, press .
If you make a mistake, press to erase a single character. Press and
hold to delete an entire entry.

using T9 Text Input, you can add it to the database.
To add a word to the T9 Text Input database:
1. Select the Alphabetinput mode. (See “Selecting a Character Input
Mode” on pages 78-79.)
2. Enter the word using multi-tap text entry. (See “Entering Characters by
Tapping the Keypad” on page 80.) The word will appear as an option
the next time you scroll through options during T9 Text Input.
