Enter text
For each letter of the word that you want to spell, press the corresponding key on
your keypad only once, even if the letter you want is not the first letter on the key.
The phone guesses the word you are trying to spell.
• If a displayed word is not correct, press the * key to see other matches. To move
forward through a list of matches, keep pressing the * key. To return to the
previous word in the list of matches, select Previous.
• Press the 0 key to accept the word, enter a space, and begin writing the next word.
• If ? appears after a word, select Spell to add the word to the dictionary. See
“Add new words to the dictionary” on page 15.
• Press the 1 key to insert a period into your message.
• Press and hold the * key to display special characters. See “Special characters”
on page 16.
Compound words
Enter the first part of the word and confirm it by pressing the Scroll down key.
Enter the last part of the word and confirm it by pressing the 0 key.
Add new words to the dictionary
If you encounter a word that predictive text does not recognize, a question mark
(?) follows the word and Spell appears in the bottom center of the display.
Select Spell, enter your new word using the keypad, and select Save. The word is
added to the dictionary and to the message that you are writing.
Keep these factors in mind when adding words:
• New words that you accept by selecting Save, the 0 key, or deleting the space
between two words are saved to the dictionary.
• Depending on the language and the length of the words, you may be able to
add hundreds of words to the dictionary.
• When the dictionary is full, the most recent addition replaces the first.
