TIP
ENTER NUMBERS IN TEXT BOXES
To enter numbers, use Numeric mode. If you need to enter a number
within a line of text, change to Numeric mode to enter the number, and
then change back to Multipress or T9 mode to finish entering the text.
1 Change to Numeric mode by pressing and
holding the * key.
2 Enter the number or numbers using the keypad.
3 Change back to Multipress or T9 input mode by
briefly pressing the * key, then finish entering
your text.
If a field permits a numeric entry only, such as a phone
number, the input mode automatically defaults to Numeric
mode.
ENTER PUNCTUATION IN MULTIPRESS MODE
Press 1 repeatedly until you see the punctuation mark that you want.
To see all of the available symbols, press and hold the # key.
ENTER PUNCTUATION IN T9 MODE
In a text box when in T9 text entry mode, do the following:
1 Press 1, and select from a list of common
punctuation.
DELETE CHARACTERS
You can only delete characters when you are in input mode, either
for numbers, names, or text. The Clear key operates similarly to a
“backspace” key on a computer.
1 To backspace and delete a single character in
any input mode, press Clear key C.
2 To backspace and delete an entire text or
numeric field in any input mode, press and hold
the Clear key C.
ENTER A SPACE
In Multipress or T9 mode, press the # key.
ENTER A SYMBOL
There may be times when you need to use a symbol that is not
displayed on the keypad. Additional symbols are available by accessing
a separate page.
1 Press and hold the * key.
2 In the menu that appears, press Symbols to
display the Symbols page.
3 Select the symbol you want.
4 Press O [OK].
