Entering Characters Using Alphabet Mode
To enter characters using Alphabet Mode (multi-tap key entry):
1.
Select the Alphabet mode. (See “Selecting a Character
Input Mode” on page 44.)
2.
Press the corresponding key repeatedly until the desired
letter appears. For example, to enter the word “Bill,”
press twice, three
times, three
times,
and
three times again. If you make a mistake, press
to erase a single character. Press and hold
to erase
an entire word.
By default, the first letter of an entry is capitalized and the
following letters are lowercased. After a character is entered,
the cursor automatically advances to the next space after two
seconds or when you enter a character on a different key.
Characters scroll in the following order:
