Entering text

Input mode

On many occasions you need to input text in your phone

such as: storing the name in your Address Book, writing a

new message, creating a greeting, or scheduling events on

your calendar.
You can select from the following methods (modes) of

inputting text in your phone.

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 (see below).

ABC mode

In this mode, you input the letter you want by pressing the

keypad once to select the first letter on the key, twice to

select the second letter on the key, three times to select

the third letter on the key and so on until the letter you want

appears.

123 mode

You can input numbers in this mode.

Symbol mode

You can input special characters like Greek letters, currency

units, or a period mark in this mode.

To change Text input mode

When you are in an area where you can input text, the

text input mode indicator is displayed at the bottom of your

screen.
Example: Typing a Text Message.
