Entering Text - LG PRADA User Manual

ENTERING TEXT

You can enter alphanumeric characters by using
the keypad of touch screen. For example, storing
names in the phonebook, writing a message,
creating scheduling events in the calendar all
require entering text. The following text input
methods are available in the phone.
Some fields may allow only one text input
mode (e.g. telephone number in address
book fields).
T9 MODE
This mode allows you to enter words with only one
keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad has
more than one letter. The T9 mode automatically
compares your keystrokes with an internal
18
linguistic dictionary to determine the correct
word, thus requiring far fewer keystrokes than
the traditional ABC mode.
ABC MODE
This mode allows you to enter letters by pressing
the key labeled with the required letter once,
twice, three or four times until the letter is
displayed.
123 MODE (NUMBERS
MODE)
Type numbers using one keystroke per number. To
change to 123 mode in a text entry field, tap
key until 123 mode is displayed.
SYMBOLIC MODE
This mode allows you to enter special characters.
CHANGING THE TEXT
INPUT MODE
1. When you are in a field that allows characters
to be entered, you will notice the text input
mode indicator in the upper right corner of the
display.
2. If you want to change modes, tap
available modes are changed.
USING THE T9 MODE
The T9 predictive text input mode allows you to
enter words easily with a minimum number of key
presses. As you press each key, the phone begins
to display the characters that it thinks you are
typing based on a built-in dictionary. As new
letters are added, the word changes to reflect the
most likely candidate from the dictionary.
You can select a different T9 language from
the menu option or tap hold down the key
. The default setting on the phone is T9
disable mode.
