Chapter 2. Basic operation
You can enter text, numbers and symbols by using the keypad. The
phone supports four input modes for entering text, numbers and
symbols: Multipress, XT9, Numeric and symbols. Multipress and XT9
modes are used for entering text, Numeric mode is used for entering
numbers, and Symbols mode is used for entering symbols like “@”, “/”,
“$” and punctuation marks.
When you select a field that requires text or numbers, the phone
automatically selects the appropriate input mode. The status indicator on
the top right side of the display screen shows the input mode that you
are currently using.
