Rapid character entry
Rapid character entry is easy in any mode, using
the Character Selection Field. As you enter
characters, your phone predicts the next character
you might want and presents choices in the
Character Selection Field.
For example, when you type the word "zhong guo
(
)", enter the first character using the
following keystrokes; the 9, 4, 6, 6, 1, and 1 keys.
You do not have to complete the Pinyin spelling to
include "guo (
)". With no extra typing, the letter
displays conveniently in the Character Selection
Field for you to choose.
Scrolling
To move the cursor to the left or right through your
text message, press the Left or Right key when the
Character Selection Field is not activated.
Inserting a space
Insert a space between characters, press the
in the Text Area.
Clearing strokes and characters
Press the C key once or repeatedly to remove
strokes one by one to the left. Once the Pinyin input
field is empty, pressing the C key removes a letter
from the Text Area.
To clear all of the strokes and characters on the
display, press and hold the C key.

Using Chinese Stroke mode
This mode allows you to enter individual Chinese
strokes, in written order, from top to bottom, and
from left to right.
Even though there are many different strokes used
to create Chinese characters, the strokes are
classified into 5 basic categories; heng, shu, pie,
dian, and zhe. The basic strokes are printed on
keys, from 1 to 5 on the keypad.
To enter a stroke, press the key printed with the
stroke that most closely represents the exact stroke
you want. The table shows the stroke/key
relationship:
