3. Text entry
You can use two methods for entering
text and numbers: standard mode and
predictive text mode.
• Select Clear to backspace the
cursor and delete a character.
• Select and hold Clear to backspace
continuously and delete
characters.
■ Standard mode
Standard mode is the only way to enter
text into the contacts list and to
rename caller groups.
Text (Abc)
Press a key once to insert the first
letter on the key and twice for the
second letter, etc. If you pause briefly,
the last letter in the display is accepted
and your device awaits the next entry.
• Press 0 to enter a space and accept
a completed word.
• Press 1 to insert a period into your
message.
• Press and hold * to display a
complete list of special characters.
• Press and hold # to switch between
letters and numbers.
Numbers (123)
To switch from Abc mode to 123 mode,
press and hold # at any message entry
screen.
Punctuation and special
characters
While at any text entry screen, press *
to display special characters (press and
hold * if predictive text is on). Press *
again to cycle through all available
characters. To navigate through the list
of special characters, use the scroll
keys. Once a character is highlighted,
select Use to insert the character into
your message.
■ Predictive text mode
To write messages quickly, use
predictive text mode with your keypad
and the built-in dictionary.
Predictive text mode is much faster
than the standard mode method
because you do not need to scroll
through the letters on each key to spell
a word. The dictionary determines
which word to enter based on the keys
selected.
