Entering Text - LG MG185 User Manual

GENERAL FUNCTIONS
Signal Strength
If you are inside a building, being near a window may
give you better reception. You can see the strength of
your signal by the signal indicator on your phone's
display screen.

ENTERING TEXT

You can enter alphanumeric characters by using the
phone's keypad. For example, storing names in the
Address Book, writing a message, or creating
scheduling events in the calendar all require entering
text. The following text input methods are available in
the phone.
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 linguistic dictionary
to determine the correct word, thus requiring far fewer
keystrokes than the traditional ABC mode.
20
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,
press key until 123 mode is displayed.
A long press changes mode to 123.
Symbolic Mode
This mode allows you to enter special characters.
