Entering Characters by Tapping the Keypad To enter characters by tapping the keypad, select the Alpha mode (see "Selecting a Character Input Mode" on page 30). Press the corresponding key repeatedly until the desired character appears. By default, the first letter of the first word is capitalized and following letters are lowercase. To enter text using Alpha: 1. From a text entry screen (for example, a contact entry), press and select Alpha. 2. Use your keypad to enter the contact's name. (For example, to enter "Bill", press twice, three times, three times, and three times again.) Characters scroll in the following order: ⅷ . , @ 1 ? ! * # / ⅷ A B C 2 ⅷ D E F 3 ⅷ G H I 4 ⅷ J K L 5 ⅷ M N O 6 ⅷ P Q R S 7 ⅷ T U V 8 ⅷ W X Y Z 9 ⅷ 0 ⅷ Space ⅷ Shift After a character is entered, the cursor automatically advances to the next space after two seconds or when you enter a character on a different key.
