Entering Numbers And Text, Incorrect Entries - Gigaset SL910 User Manual

Using the phone

Entering numbers and text, incorrect entries

The appropriate keypads are displayed to enter numbers and text. An optional field
(numerical keypad) for entering phone numbers or a system PIN. A (typewriter) key-
pad for entering text.
You use them to enter characters by touching the relevant character on the display.
These then appear in the text or number field displayed on the page.
If several number and/or text fields are displayed (e.g., First Name and Surname in
a directory entry), you must activate the field by touching it before writing. The
flashing cursor is displayed in the activated field.
To avoid unnecessary incorrect entries: Touch a character on the keypad and this
character is enlarged. If the wrong character is enlarged, you can move your finger
to the required character (without lifting it from the display). The character is only
copied to the text field once you lift your finger from the display.
