Entering Characters by Tapping the Keypad

To enter characters by tapping the keypad:

Select the

mode (See “Selecting a Character

Input Mode” on page 34.).

2.

Press the corresponding keys repeatedly until the
desired letter appears (for example, to enter the word

“Bill,” press

twice,

three times,

times, and
