Entering Text in Multi-Tap Mode
You can enter a letter in Multi-Tap mode by pressing the
number key on which the letter appears. To enter the 1st
letter on the number key, press the key once. To enter the
2nd letter, press the key twice, and so on. The letter
entered remains underlined until you complete the
keypresses and the cursor moves to the next position. For
example:
1
2
When you enter letters that are on the same number key,
wait until the underline disappears before entering the next
letter so that your phone can process the 1st letter. This
pause is called the Multi-Tap time out, and you can adjust the
length of the pause between keypresses.
