Note The numeric keyboard is equipped with a button switching
between full width
and half width numerical characters
and punctuations.
To input Chinese characters
The P800 has two Chinese input methods: Stroke and Bopmofo.
Both methods require that you create a character in two steps.
1. Select the button representing the input method: Stroke
or BoPoMoFo (The Stroke keyboard is shown by
default).
2. Tap one or more components of the character in the character
component area. The selected components are shown in the
element area, and a group of possible character candidates is
shown in the candidates area. The stroke input method also
suggests different components for use in the component area.
3. Tap the desired character in the candidates area. The
character appears in the text area and the associated
characters are shown in the candidates area.
The more you specify the character – the more input you make –
the fewer candidates will be left. If there are more candidates
than can be displayed at once, use the next candidate
and the
previous candidate buttons to scroll.
