Section 5: Entering Text
This section outlines how to select the desired text input mode
when entering characters into your phone. It also describes how to
use the T9 predictive text entry system to reduce the number of
key strokes associated with entering text.
Using the Text Input Methods
The Input Method option switches the key entry functions from
ABC (Alphabetic), T9 Alphabetic (predictive text mode), 123
(Numeric Mode), and Symbols Mode.
ABC (Alphabetic) Input Method (abc, Abc, and ABC)
This input method allows you to enter letters by pressing the key
labeled with the letter you want. Press the key once, twice, three,
or four times until the desired letter displays.
The abc method makes all characters of the word lowercase. The
Abc method makes the initial character an uppercase while the
remaining characters are left as lowercase. The ABC method
makes all characters of the word uppercase.
T9 Predictive Text Input Method (T9 abc, T9 Abc, and T9
ABC)
This input method allows you to enter words with only one
keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad has more than one
letter; for example, pressing the key can enter J, K, or L.
However, the T9 method automatically compares the series of
keystrokes you make with an internal linguistic dictionary to
determine the most likely word, thus requiring far fewer keystrokes
than the traditional Alphabetic mode. The T9 abc method makes
all characters lowercase. The T9 Abc method makes the initial
character an uppercase while the remaining characters are left as
lowercase. The T9 ABC method makes all characters uppercase.
Numeric
This mode allows you to enter numbers.
Symbols
This mode allows you to enter symbols, such as punctuation
marks.
