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 system to reduce the number of key strokes associated with entering text. Changing the Text Input Mode When using your phone, you often need to enter text, such as when storing a name in your Phonebook, creating your personal greeting or scheduling events on your calendar. You can enter alphanumeric characters by using your phone's keypad. Your phone has the following text input modes: • T9: this mode allows you to enter words with only one keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad has more than one letter; for example, pressing can enter J, K, or L. However, the T9 mode 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 ABC mode. • ABC mode: this mode allows you to enter letters by pressing the key labeled with the letter you want. • Number: this mode allows you to enter numbers. • Symbol: this mode allows you to enter symbols, such as punctuation marks.

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 system to reduce the number of key strokes associated with entering
text.
Changing the Text Input Mode
When using your phone, you often need to enter text, such as when storing a name in your Phonebook, creating
your personal greeting or scheduling events on your calendar. You can enter alphanumeric characters by using your
phone’s keypad.
Your phone has the following text input modes:
•
T9
: this mode allows you to enter words with only one keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad has more than one letter;
for example, pressing
can enter J, K, or L. However, the T9 mode 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 ABC mode.
•
ABC mode
: this mode allows you to enter letters by pressing the key labeled with the letter you want.
•
Number
: this mode allows you to enter numbers.
•
Symbol
: this mode allows you to enter symbols, such as punctuation marks.
When you are in a field that allows characters to be entered, the text input mode indicator displays on the bottom
right of the screen.
Example:
Writing a text message.
