Entering Characters by Tapping the Keypad
To enter characters by tapping the keypad:
1. Select the Alphabet mode. (See “Selecting a Character
Input Mode” on page 41.)
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 word by word.)
By default, the first letter of an entry is capitalized and the
following letters are lowercase. 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:
