example, to write Nokia with the English dictionary selected, press the 6 key once for
N, the 6 key once for o, the 5 key once for k, the 4 key once for i, and the 2 key once
for a. To insert a number while in letter mode, press and hold the desired number key.
2 When you have finished writing the word and it is correct, confirm it by pressing the 0
key to add a space or by moving the joystick to the right.
3 If the word is not the one you are looking for, press the * key repeatedly or select
Options > Matches.

used) and select Save.
When the dictionary becomes full, the new word replaces the oldest one that was added.
