Entering Text Using T9 Text Input
T9 Text Input lets you enter text by pressing keys just
once per letter. (To select the
T9 Word mode when
entering text, see “Selecting a Text Input Mode” on
page 28.)
T9 Text Input uses an intuitive word database to analyze
the letters you enter and create a suitable word. (The
word may change as you type.)
1. Select the T9Word text input mode. (See “Selecting
a Text Input Mode” on page 28.)
2. Press the corresponding keys once per letter to enter
a word. (For example, to enter the word “Bill,” press
.) (If you make a mistake, press
to erase a single character. Press and hold
to erase an entire word.)
If the word you want is not displayed after you have
entered all the letters, press
to scroll through
additional word selections. To accept a word and insert
a space, press
.
Adding a Word to the T9 Database
If a word you want to enter is not displayed as an option
when you are using T9 Text Input, add it to the database.
1. Select the Abc text input mode. (See “Selecting a
Text Input Mode” on page 28.)
2. Enter the word using ABC Mode. (See “Entering Text
Using ABC Mode” on page 30.) The word will
appear as an option the next time you scroll through
options during T9 Text Input.
