Abc mode text entry
Press a key once to insert the first letter on the key, twice for the
second letter, and so on. If you pause briefly, the last letter in
the display is accepted, and your phone awaits the next entry.
■ Word mode
Word mode is a predictive method of text entry using your
keypad and the built-in dictionary to quickly recognize the most
commonly used word for a specific key sequence. Word mode is
much faster than the abc method because you only press the
corresponding key on your keypad once for each letter.
Activate word mode
To activate word mode at any text entry screen, press the entry
mode selection key, and then select Word. Press * to switch
among sentence case, uppercase (WORD), and lowercase (word).

• If a displayed word is not correct, press 0 to view other
word options.

the entry mode selection key to change the mode to Abc.
Reenter your word using the multi-tap mode.
