Using T9 Mode
T9 is a predictive text input mode that allows you to key in any

on a built-in dictionary.
To enter a word in T9 mode:

screen and touch and select
T9 Predictive text

When in T9 mode, start entering a word by touching the 2
to 9 keys. Touch each key only once for each letter.
Example:
To enter “Hello” in T9 mode, touch the 4, 3, 5, 5, and 6 keys.
The word that you are typing displays on the screen. It may
change with each consecutive key that you touch.
2. Enter the whole word before editing or deleting the
keystrokes.
3. When the word correctly displays, go to step 4.
If the word doesn’t display correctly, you can then choose from
possible word choices onscreen by touching the correct one.
If these choices do not include the word you want to use, touch the
down arrow, then touch the Add Word field to then add the new
word into the T9 dictionary.
