Pinyin input method
Pinyin symbols are mapped to number keys. You can press the corresponding
number key once regardless of the intended symbol’s position on the key. The
device will make logical combinations and display all feasible matches to those
Pinyin symbols you just pressed.
Use Pinyin input method
1 Input Pinyin symbols and tones: Press number key once for each Pinyin symbol
you want to input (use "v" for "ü"); When you start to input, Chinese input
window will be shown on the screen: It shows all the Pinyin letter combinations
matching to the keys you pressed; and the candidate Chinese characters
corresponding to the highlighted Pinyin. The Pinyin letters displayed on the
screen are changing frequently during your inputting process. Ignore these
changes before you finish inputting the last Pinyin letter.
After inputting all Pinyin letters, you can also press * to input tones. Press * once
to input the first tone, twice to input the second tone, and so on. Press * five
times to input the neutral tone.
Tip: Press the right selection key to close the Chinese input window.
2 Select desired Pinyin: When several Pinyin letters are listed on the screen, you
could scroll in the relevant direction to highlight your desired Pinyin. Press the
scroll key to choose the highlighted Pinyin. Thus the selected Pinyin can be
displayed in the Pinyin window, and the other Pinyin will disappear, and the
candidate list corresponding to this Pinyin can be activated (numbering will be
shown on each candidate, and the first candidate is highlighted).
3 View candidate list to find out desired Chinese character: when the candidate
Chinese characters exceed one line display, there will be up and down arrows
showing at the right end of the candidate list. If you could not find a desired
character in the current list, you could scroll up or down to view the previous
line or the next line.
