Text Entry; Standard Mode; Text (Abc); Numbers (123) - Nokia 2112 User Manual

3. Text entry

You can use two methods for
entering text and numbers:
• Standard mode is the only way to
enter text into the contacts list,
and to rename caller groups.
• T9 predictive input is a quick and
easy method for writing
messages, creating a calendar
note.

■ Standard mode

Text (Abc)

• Press a key once to insert the first
letter on the key, twice for the
second letter, etc. If you pause
briefly, the last letter in the
display is accepted and your
phone awaits the next entry.
• Press 0 to enter a space thereby
accepting a completed word.
• Press 1 to enter a period (.).
• Press * to display special
characters. See more about special
characters on the following pages.

Numbers (123)

To switch to 123 mode from Abc
mode, press and hold # at any
message entry screen until the icon
in the upper left corner of the display
switches from Abc to 123 (or vice
versa).
• Press Clear to backspace the
cursor and delete a character.
• Press and hold Clear
continuously and delete
characters.
Punctuation and special
characters
While at any text entry screen, press
* to display special characters (press
and hold * if predictive text is on).
You can navigate through the list of
special characters by using the scroll
key. Once a character is highlighted,
press Use to insert the character into
your message.

■ Predictive text input

Predictive text input allows you to
write messages quickly using your
keypad and the built-in dictionary.
It is much faster than the standard
mode method, because for each
letter, you only press the
corresponding key on your keypad
once.
