Using T9 Mode

T9 is a predictive text input mode that allows you to key
in any character using single keystrokes. This text input
mode is based on a built-in dictionary.

To enter a word in T9 mode:

1. When you are in T9 mode, start entering a word by

pressing the

keys. Press each key only

once for each letter.

Example: To enter “Hello” press

The word that you are typing appears in the display. It
may change with each key that you press.

2. Enter the whole word before editing or deleting the

keystrokes.

3. When the word displays correctly, go to step 4.

If the word doesn’t display correctly, press the

key

or the Up or Down key to display alternative word
choices for the keys that you have pressed.

Example: Both “Of” and “Me” have the

and

keys. The phone

displays the most commonly used choice first.

4. Insert a space by pressing the

key and start

entering the next word.
