word ―Bill,‖ press .) (If you make a mistake, press to erase a single
character. Press and hold to erase an entire word.)

key to scroll through additional word selections. To accept a word and insert a space, press

Add a Word to the T9 Database
If a word you want to enter is not displayed in a T9 word choice list when you are using T9 Input,

2. Scroll down the list and select .

ABC Mode
In Abc mode, also known as multi-tap entry, you press keys one, two, three, or four times to
enter the letters you see on the keypad.

the cursor automatically advances to the next space after two seconds or when you enter a
character on a different key.

enter ―Abc,‖ press once for ―a,‖ twice for ―b,‖ and three times for ―c.‖
Set Text Entry Options
The text entry options menu allows you to specify a suitable feature during the text entry
process. Note that some of the options are applicable to T9Word mode only.
