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. Text Entry Modes You can compose text messages using alphabetical characters, symbols, and numbers. Each method of character entry (symbol, number, and so on) is called a text entry mode. There are four text entry modes, as indicated: • Alpha-Alphabetical text entry mode. Options are: - ABC - All upper case - Abc - Initial capital - abc - All lower case • Symbols - Symbol entry mode. Enter symbols into your message by pressing the corresponding number that appears above it in the display. • 123 - Number entry. Enter numbers by pressing the corresponding key on the keypad. • T9 Word - Predictive text mode. Press each key only once to enter the letter of the word that you're spelling. Your current mode of text entry [Abc, 123, or T9 Word] is indicated in the lower left part of the display when composing a text message. Changing the Text Entry Mode ᮣ While composing a text message, press the Left soft key. A pop-up menu containing the following options appears in the display: • T9 Word • Abc • ABC • 123 • Symbols Abc is highlighted.
