CHAPTER 4 Entering Information on Your Handheld
How can I enter information on my handheld?
There are several ways to enter information directly on your handheld. The most popular methods
are using Graffiti 2 writing or using the onscreen keyboard. The following are some of the ways to
enter information:
• Graffiti® 2 writing
• The onscreen keyboard
• Phone Lookup
• Note Pad
• An accessory keyboard (sold separately)
You can also enter information on your computer and move and work with the
information between your handheld and your computer. Or you can send and receive information
from other handhelds, using beaming or your handheld’s built-in Bluetooth® wireless technology
or Wi-Fi capabilities.
Entering information with Graffiti ® 2 writing
You can enter info directly on your handheld with Graffiti 2 writing. Graffiti 2 writing includes any
character you can type on a standard keyboard. Entering these characters on your handheld is
very similar to the way you naturally write letters, numbers, and symbols. But instead of using a
pen and paper, you use the stylus and the input area on your handheld. With only a few minutes of
practice, you can learn to use Graffiti 2 writing.
Writing in the input area
You can write Graffiti 2 characters in the input area, or you can turn on full-screen writing and use
the entire screen to enter characters.
Tip
A blinking cursor on your
handheld screen
indicates where the
information you enter will
appear. Tap or use the 5-
way to move the cursor to
the location you want. In
most cases, if you do not
see a blinking cursor, you
cannot enter information
on that screen.
