How to use predictive 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 * to see other matches. To move forward
through a list of matches, press * repeatedly. To return to the previous word
in the list of matches, select Prev. .
• Press 0 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 32.
• Press 1 to insert a period into your message.
• Press and hold the * to display special characters. See ”Enter punctuation and
special characters” on page 32.
Compound words
Enter the first part of the word and confirm it, by moving the joystick to the right.
Enter the last part of the word and confirm it, by moving the joystick to the right.
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 lower left 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.
■ Enter punctuation and special characters
While at any text entry screen, press the * key to display special characters (press
and hold the * key if predictive text is on).
Press the * key twice to display the Graphical smileys menu.
Scroll through the list of special characters by using the Five-way joystick. Once
a character is highlighted, press the Five-way joystick to insert the character
into your message.
