Keypad
You can only use the digits 1 to 9 and 0 as well as the * and # characters
when dialing a number. The
h
navigation key is used to delete from right
to left.
In cases where text input is possible, you can use the keypad to input text,
punctuation and special characters in addition to the digits 0 to 9 and the
hash and asterisk symbols. To do this, press the numerical keys repeated-
ly.
Example: To enter the letter "h", press the number
4
key on the keypad
twice. When entering the text, all available characters for this key are dis-
played. After a short while, the character in focus is displayed in the input
field.
Multi-function keys
Alphabetic labeling of dial keys is useful when entering vanity numbers
(letters associated with the phone number’s digits as indicated on the tele-
phone spell a name; e.g. 0700 - PATTERN = 0700 - 687837).
To speed up the input, you can confirm your entry by pressing "
g
"
on the navigator after you have selected the required character.
To enter a digit in an alphanumerical input field, press the relevant
key and hold it down. You no longer need to scroll through the entire
list of possible characters.
