Using Tap Mode - Motorola V3 Owner's Manual

Using Tap Mode

This is the basic text entry mode on your phone.
Tap mode cycles through the letters and number of the key
you press. Tap Extended mode also cycles through additional
symbols as shown in the "Character Chart" on page 52.
If necessary, press # in a text entry screen to switch to
Tap mode. An indicator shows which mode is active (see
page 45). If Tap or Tap Extended is not set as the Primary or
Secondary entry mode, see page 44.
Tap Mode Text Entry Rules
• Press a keypad key repeatedly to cycle through its
characters. For example, you would press 2 one
time to enter "a," two times to enter "b," three times to
enter "c," or four times to enter "2."
• After 2 seconds, Tap mode accepts the character, and
the cursor moves to the next position.
• The first character of every sentence is capitalized. If
necessary, press S down to change the character to
lowercase before the cursor moves to the next
position.
• Press S to move the flashing cursor to enter or edit
message text.
• If you do not want to save your text or text edits, press
O to exit without saving.
