Entering Text Using T9 Mode
T9 mode uses an intelligent software
protocol that allows you to enter text with
fewer key presses than the multi-tap method.
Type the entire word by pressing each
corresponding key only once for each letter of
the word. T9 determines the word by
matching the keys you pressed with words in
an internal database and displays the
matching word that is used most often.
In a text entry field (e.g. for entering a
1.
folder name on page 68 and an event
description on page 106, etc.), press
(right soft key) to display the
Mode
"Input Mode" menu.

Type the entire word, but press each key
4.
only once per letter.
For example, to type the word "Hello", press
the keys
(in that order). As you type, T9 matches your
key presses with words from its database.
Different words may appear as you type
because each key you press changes the
word possibility. The word you want may
appear only after you press all of the
necessary keys.
