Using the Dialpad to Enter Characters

Use the dialpad keys 0 through 9, * and # to enter characters in a text entry field/line.
When entering a name or other alphabetic text, the first dialpad key press displays the first
alphabetic character associated with that key. The character appears to the right of the current
cursor position. This character is shown in the same case as the alpha softkey. The cursor does
not move. A subsequent press of the same key replaces the character shown with the next
alphabetic character assigned to that key. You can use the # and * keys to display those
symbols, even in alpha and ALPHA mode.
For example, when the Mode softkey displays "ALPHA" or "alpha," pressing "2" produces the
letter "A" or "a," depending on which alphabetic mode is active. Quickly pressing 2 again
replaces the A with a "B" or "b", pressing it again replaces the B with a "C" or "c". Pressing the
same key again replaces the C with an "A" or "a", and so on. Pressing a different key moves the
cursor one position to the right and displays the first alphabetic character associated with that
key. Repeat this key press/entry process to complete the text field. You can also use the Bksp
or Space softkeys to delete the character to the left of the cursor, or to insert a space,
respectively.
When the Mode softkey displays Num, the telephone recognizes a key press as a number or a
typographic character like * or #. The cursor then advances one position to the right.
When the Mode softkey displays Symbol, use the Line/Feature buttons to select the desired
symbol. Use either the More softkey to access additional pages of symbols, or the Page Right
or Page Left buttons on the telephone. When you select a symbol, the telephone automatically
inserts it to the right of the last character in that field. After insertion, the telephone automatically
returns to the alpha mode.
Then (continued)
Press the Mode softkey until that softkey displays ALPHA
(uppercase) or alpha (lowercase), as appropriate. Then use the
dialpad to select the characters you want to appear in that case.
Mode alpha displays all characters entered in lowercase, and is the
default mode. Mode ALPHA displays characters in uppercase.
Pressing the softkey "toggles" from one mode to the next.
Press the Mode softkey until that softkey displays Num, then use
the dialpad to select the appropriate number(s).
Press the Mode softkey until that softkey displays Symbol. If the
desired symbol is not shown, press the More softkey to view
additional symbols. To insert a symbol, press the Line/Feature
button to the right/left of the desired symbol as appropriate.
