Using the T9 Mode

The T9 predictive text input mode allows you to key in any
character using single keystrokes. This text input mode is based
on a built-in dictionary.

1. When you are in the T9 predictive text input mode, start entering

a word by pressing keys

2

to

9

. Press each key only once for one

letter.

Example:to enter HELLO in the T9 mode,
press 4, 3, 5, 5 and 6.
The word that you are typing appears in the display. It may
change with each key that you press.

2. Enter the whole word before editing or deleting the keystrokes.
3. If the word is correct, start entering the next word.
4. Otherwise, press the 0, Up or Down key repeatedly to display

alternate word choices for the keys that you have pressed.

Example:both OF and ME have the sequence 6 and 3. The
phone displays the most commonly used choice first.

5. Complete each word with a space by pressing the # key.

To type words not found in the T9 mode, change the text input

mode to the upper/lower-case character input mode.

To enter full stops, hyphens or apostrophes, press the 1 key.

The T9 mode applies grammar rules to ensure that the correct

punctuation is used.

To change the case in the T9 mode, use the * key.

You can move the cursor by using the Left and Right keys. To
delete letters, press the

key. Press and hold down the

key to clear the display.
