Section 5: Entering Text This section outlines how to select the desired text input mode when entering characters into your phone. This section also describes how to use the T9 predictive text entry system to reduce the amount of key strokes associated with entering text. Using the Text Input Methods The Input Method option switches the key entry functions from ABC (Alphabetic), T9 Alphabetic (predictive text mode), 123 (Numeric Mode), and Symbols Mode. ABC (Alphabetic) Input Method (abc, Abc, and ABC) This input method allows you to enter letters by pressing the key labeled with the letter you want. Press the key once, twice, three, or four times until the desired letter displays. The abc method makes all characters of the word lowercase. The Abc method makes the initial character an uppercase while the remaining characters are left as lowercase. The ABC method makes all characters of the word uppercase. T9 Predictive Text Input Method (T9 abc, T9 Abc, and T9 ABC) This input method allows you to enter words with only one keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad has more than one letter; for example, pressing the key can enter J, K, or L. However, the T9 method automatically compares the series of keystrokes you make with an internal linguistic dictionary to determine the most likely word, thus requiring far fewer keystrokes than the traditional Alphabetic mode. The T9 abc method makes all characters lowercase. The T9 Abc method makes the initial character an uppercase while the remaining characters are left as lowercase. The T9 ABC method makes all characters uppercase. Numeric This mode allows you to enter numbers. Symbols This mode allows you to enter symbols, such as punctuation marks. Entering Text 34
