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.
