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 open Editor
settings, and select Number mode,
Prediction on or Prediction off.
Numbers (123)
To switch to 123 mode from Abc mode,
press and hold # at any message entry
screen to open the Editor settings.
Select Number mode, and the device
returns to the message entry screen
and switches the ABC icon in the upper
left corner of the display to the 123
icon (or back). To return to Abc mode,
press and hold #.
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. Once 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.
