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 keys.
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 the one you want, press the key or the
Up or Down navigation key to display an alternative word choice.
Continue
until the correct word displays or proceed to spell the word and add it to
the phone’s dictionary (see below).
3. Insert a space by pressing the key and start entering the next
word.
To add a new word to the T9 dictionary:
1. When you press the key on the last alternative word available,
the left soft key changes to Spell. Press the Spell soft key or the
key.
