Predictive Text Input

T9 mode allows you to enter English words with only one key press per letter.

Each key on a keypad has more than one letter associated with it. For instance, a single press of the 5 key could indicate

'J', 'K', or 'L'. T9 mode automatically compares your key presses to a built-in dictionary to determine the correct word. As

such, it requires far fewer keystrokes than the traditional multi-tap method.

Typing English Words

To type a word, press the keys corresponding to the letters you need. Remember the following as you are typing:

1. Press a key on the device just once per desired letter. For example, to enter "hello," press 4-3-5-5-6.

2. The word you are typing appears on the display. It may change with each key you press.

3. Complete each word with a space by pressing the

key.
