Entering Characters by Tapping the Keypad

To enter characters by tapping the keypad:

1.

Select the Alpha mode. (See “Selecting a Character Input
Mode” on page 38.)

2.

Press the corresponding keys 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 delete an entire entry

.)

By default, the first letter of an entry is capitalized and the
following letters are lower cased. 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.
