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.
To enter a word in T9 mode:
1.
When you are in T9 mode, start entering a word by pressing the 2 to 9 keys. Press each key only once for
each letter.
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.
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 word choices for the keys that you
pressed.
Example: Both the words “Of” and “Me” use the 6 and 3 keys. The phone displays the most commonly used choice first.

to insert a space and start entering the next word.
To add a new word into the T9 dictionary:

alternative words.
