3. Text entry
You can use two methods for entering
text and numbers—standard mode and
predictive text mode.
■ Standard mode
Standard mode is the only way to enter
text into the contacts list and to
rename caller groups.
Text (Abc)
• Press a key once to insert the first
letter on the key, twice for the
second letter, etc. If you pause
briefly, the last letter in the display
is accepted and your phone awaits
the next entry.
• Press 0 to enter a space, thereby
accepting a completed word.
• Press 1 as many times as necessary
to scroll through a list of commonly
used characters.
• Press * to display a complete list of
special characters.
• Press and hold # to access Editor
settings > Number mode,
Dictionary on or Dictionary off, or
Writing language.
Numbers (123)
To switch to 123 mode from Abc mode:
1. Press and hold #.
2. At the Editor settings menu list,
select Number mode.
The phone will return to the message
entry screen and switch the ABC icon
in the upper left corner of the display
to the 123 icon.
Punctuation and special
characters
While at any text entry screen, press *
to display special characters (press and
hold * if predictive text is on). Press *
again to cycle through all available
characters. Scroll to navigate through
the list of special characters. When a
character is highlighted, select Insert
to insert the character into your
message.
■ Predictive text mode
Predictive text input allows you to
write messages quickly using your
keypad and the built-in dictionary. It is
much faster than the standard mode
method, because for each letter, you
only press the corresponding key on
your keypad once.
