Text Input
Using this mode of text entry dramatically reduces the number of key
presses required:
Press a key once for any letter you require on that key. The desired
letter may not be displayed. Continue pressing other keys until the
end of a word is reached; then check that the word has been typed
correctly before continuing on to the next word by pressing # or c.
If the combination of letters typed has produced a word which is not
the one you require, press 0 repeatedly until the correct word is
displayed. Continue to the next word.
If the word you require is not in the internal dictionary (i.e. it is a
proper noun or a rarely used word) you should enter it using the
Normal (U) mode.
Other Text Modes
To access any of the other text entry modes use P to cycle through
until the desired mode is displayed in the Information Area.
When using Normal (U), Greek (V) or Extended (W) text entry
modes, each time a key is pressed in quick succession it displays the
next character available on that key (or if the key is pressed and held
down it scrolls through the available characters). Releasing the key,
or pressing another key enters the currently displayed character and
the cursor moves to the next position.
Editing Text
Pressing e moves you up or down one text line (or field in
Phonebook). Pressing f moves you left or right one character (or to
the first character of the previous or next word when using T9

text
entry mode). When the cursor is moved over a character and another
key pressed, this inserts the new character immediately before the
selected character.PressingC deletesthecharacter tothe leftofthe
