Using T9 Mode
T9 is a predictive text input mode that allows you to enter any
character using single keystrokes. This text input mode is based
on a built-in dictionary.
Entering a word in T9 mode
1. While in T9 mode (T9 Eng), enter a word by pressing the
2 to 9 keys. Press each key only once for each letter.
Note: Pressing the 1 key enters additional characters.
Example: To enter “Hello” in T9 mode, press the 4, 3, 5, 5, and 6 keys.
The word that you type displays on the screen and may
change with each consecutive key press due to the
internal linguistic dictionary.
2. Enter the whole word before editing or deleting the
keystrokes.
3. When the word correctly displays, go to step 4.
If the word doesn’t display correctly, press to
display alternative letter choices for the current key you
pressed.
Example: Both the words “Of” and “Me” use the 6 and 3 keys. The phone
displays the most commonly used choice first.
4. Press to accept the currently displayed word,
insert a space, and start entering the next word.
