Entering text
You need to enter text when composing a message,
adding a contact to your phonebook, adding an
appointment to your organiser or searching. Your
phone offers two types of text entry mode: predictive
and standard.
Using predictive text entry
Predictive text mode allows you to use less keystrokes
to type a word as it uses a built-in dictionary as a time-
saving feature.
For example, to type the word hello, you would only use
5 keystrokes (one for each letter of the word). When you
type h (number 4 on the keypad) a list appears on the
screen. It is not necessary to select the letter h as when
you type e (number 3) the dictionary begins to narrow
down the words that begin with he. Key number 5 twice
to type ll, then number 6 for the letter o. This will result
in the dictionary selecting the only known word with these
sequential letters, ie. hello.
If the dictionary has a number of options for the same
keystrokes it will present a list of words. Use the down
arrow to scroll to the word you require and press the
centre selection key. As always, press the 0 key to create
a space between words.
If the word you are typing is not in the dictionary,
Word not in dictionary appears. Press OK and select
Spell word, type the word you want to enter and press
Select. The new word is now saved in your dictionary
for future use.
