Section 5 Changing the Text Input Mode The Text Input option switches the key entry functions from T9 Mode, ABC Mode, Numeric Mode, and Symbols Mode. T9 Mode 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 the 5 key 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 Alphabet mode. ABC Mode This mode 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 it displays. Numeric Mode This mode allows you to enter numbers. Symbols Mode This mode allows you to enter symbols, such as punctuation marks. When you are in a field that allows characters to be entered, you will notice the text input mode indicator on the display. 48
