Special Function Keys

Some of the phone’s keys assume different functions while in Alpha or Word mode.

Spaces

Press # for a space.

Capitalization

When you press and hold the # key, it acts as a three-way toggle. Press and hold # to make the next letter typed uppercase (shift), to make all subsequent letters typed uppercase (caps lock), or to go back to lowercase letters.

These icons appear:

R or U	Shift is on.
S or V	Caps lock is on.

When none of these icons appear, letters typed are lowercase. Scrolling up or down after typing a letter in Alpha mode changes the case of the letter (uppercase or lowercase).

Note	When creating a text message, you may not be able
	to make a letter uppercase by scrolling up,
	depending on the type of text message and the text
	entry mode.

Your phone automatically makes the first letter of a sentence uppercase.
