24 CHAPTER 3: LEARNING TO USE YOUR PHONE
Using the Keypad The Wireless phone’s keypad allows you to dial phone extensions and
enter characters for messages and Phonebook names. You can use the
keypad to enter any combination of numbers and text (letters and special
symbols, including punctuation marks).
The procedures for entering numbers and text are described in the
following sections.
Numeric Mode Numeric mode enables you to enter the digits, * and # characters
indicated on the keys to dial or save as a character string, such as a phone
number entry in your Phonebook. Simply press the keys according to the
digits/characters you want.
To delete digits/characters, press the key.
Text Mode Text mode is indicated by the appearance of ABC in the lower left corner
of your phone’s display. When entering text, start by pressing the key
labeled with the character you prefer:
■ Once for the first character;
■ Twice for the second character and so on.
This method is called multi-tap typing.
For example, you have to press the 5 key twice to display the character
“K,” the 3 key five times to display the character “e,” and the 6 key five
times again to display “n.”
The cursor moves to the right each time you press a key. When entering
the same letter twice or a different letter, wait momentarily for the cursor
to move to the right, and then enter the next character.
You can insert a space between words/letters by pressing the 0 key.
To delete characters, press the key.
The keys you press for the available characters are described in Table 6
