Using T9 Mode
The Easy Message T9™ mode helps you to easily write your messages.
The language used is the one selected on the display of the phone (if the language selected is not
compatible with the Easy Message T9™, the English language will be automatically selected).
Press once the key corresponding to the letter chosen and compose the word by continuing to press the
keys corresponding to the various letters without paying attention to the display: the word is highlighted.
The same sequence of keys pressed can correspond to several words, existing on the dictionary. If the word that appears is
not the word you expected, press the navigator upwards to scroll through the words corresponding to this key sequence.
Once you agree on the word proposed on the screen, press the navigator rightwards to validate it or on the 0 key (which
validates and inserts a space after the word), and go on writing the next word.
If the word you are expected is not proposed, please add characters until you get the message Add a word? Press Yes and
validate if the word displayed suits you or modify this word before adding it in the dictionary.
If you do not want to use T9 mode, you can change of input mode (which appear at the top right of the title bar) pressing
(long press): the 123 mode allows you to type numbers and the ABC mode allows you to type letters: press on one key
several times to make the letter wanted appear (for example: press twice the 2 key to display B).
Upper case
A short press on will display the next letter in upper case ( icon).
Punctuation characters
Punctuation characters are obtained by pressing the 1 key (except in 123 mode), or with the help of Insert mode (fast access
by briefly pressing ).
Accented characters
Accented characters are generated automatically in T9 mode.
In ABC mode accented characters are available by pressing the key supporting the non-accented character repeatedly.
