Entering Text

Using T9 Mode
T9 is a predictive text input mode based on a built-in dictionary that allows
you to key in characters using a single keystroke. Your phone selects the
most likely word based on your keystroke combinations.
To enter a word in T9 mode:
1. Start entering a word by pressing the numeric keys. Press each key
only once for each letter.
Example: To enter “HELLO”, press
[ ], [ ], [ ], [ ] and [ ].
As you type, the characters on the screen change as the built-in
dictionary matches your keystrokes to commonly used words. Enter all
letters in the word without editing or deleting the keystrokes.
2.
If the word displayed is not correct, press [ ] to display an alternative
choice.
Continue until the correct word displays or no choices remain,
at
which time you can add the word to the phone’s dictionary (see below).
3. Press [ ] to insert a space then start entering the next word.
To add a new word to the T9 dictionary:
1. When you press [ ] on the last alternative word available, the left
soft key changes to Spell. Press <Spell> and enter the word you want.
♦To enter a punctuation mark (period, hyphen, colon, apostrophe,
etc.), use the Symbol mode (see below).
♦To shift case, use [ ] to toggle between Initial Capital, Upper
Case, Lower Case and Numeric modes.
♦You can move the cursor using the Left and Right navigation keys.
♦
To delete letters, press [
]
. Press and hold [
]
to clear the display.
2. Press <Add>. The word is added to the T9 dictionary and becomes the
first word for the associated key presses.
