Phone Basics Tip: Text prediction begins providing a list of possible choices if both the Text Options > Display Candidate feature is enabled and three or more characters are entered. Note: Since the T9 prediction listing starts at three letters, when working with two letters, use the (0) key to begin cycling through possible two-letter choices. If, as an example, you type the word Go (keys 4 and 6), T9 prediction might provide the word In, but by pressing the (0) key you can cycle through to the next possible word choice, which is Go. ᮣ To accept a word and insert a space, press # Space . Entering Characters Using Alpha Mode To enter characters using Alpha mode (multi-tap key entry): 1. Select the Alpha mode (See "Selecting a Character Input Mode" on page 51). 2. Press the corresponding keys repeatedly until the desired letter is displayed. For example, to enter the word "Bill," press 2 twice, 4 three times, 5 three ABC GHI JKL times, and 5 three times again. (If you make a JKL mistake, press BACK to erase a single character. Press and hold BACK to delete an entire entry.) By default, the first letter of an entry is capitalized and the following letters are lowercased. 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. Section 2A: Phone Basics 53
