GENERAL FUNCTIONS

Entering Text

You can enter alphanumeric characters by using the phone's
keypad. For example, storing names in the Address Book,
writing a message, creating scheduling events in the calendar
all require entering text.
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, press #.
The 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.
1. When you are in the T9 predictive text input mode, start
entering a word by pressing keys 2 to 9. Press one key
per letter.
• The word changes as letters are typed – ignore what's on
the screen until the word is typed completely.

keystrokes.

R key.
To delete letters, press C. Press and hold down C to erase
the letters continuously.
