Input Mode

[8.1]

On many occasions you need to input text while you are
using your phone, (e.g., storing a name in the Contacts,
writing a new message, creating your greeting or scheduling
events on your calendar).

The available text input modes include.

T9 mode

You can input a letter using only one keystroke per letter.

The keypad has more than one letter on it – when you press
the [

5

]key once, J, K or L may be displayed.

The T9 mode automatically compares your keystrokes with
an internal linguistic dictionary to determine the correct
word, thus requiring far fewer keystrokes than the
conventional ABC mode.

ABC mode

In this mode, you can input the letter you want by pressing
the keypad once, twice, three or four times until the target
letter appears.

123 mode

You can input a number in this mode.

Symbol mode

You can input the special characters like Greek letters,
currency units, or a period mark in this mode.
