Text Or Number Entry; T9 ® Text Input - Philips 1800 User Manual

4 • Text or number entry
Text can be entered in editing screens in two different
ways: by using T9 ® predictive Text Input, or basic
text input. Two other modes for numbers and
punctuation marks are also available. Icons appearing
on the screen show the active text mode.
Reminder: the on-screen keyboard allows you to enter
text using the stylus pen, like you would do on a PC
keyboard. Using the stylus is equivalent to pressing the
actual keys.
