Entering Characters
Entering Uppercase and Lowercase Letters

Characters revert back to lowercase after the next
character is typed.
2. Press the corresponding text keys.
Ⅲ For example, to enter the word “Bill” in the middle
of a sentence, type the keyboard sequence
below. If you make a mistake, press to erase
a single character.
Ⅲ Press and hold to erase all previously entered
text.
Space: Inserts an empty space.
OK/Enter: Moves the insertion point to the
next line in a message.

similar to the backspace key on a
computer keyboard.
Note
These procedures assume Predictive Text is disabled.
See “Predictive Text” on page 31.
Note
The default mode is ‘Abc’ so if entering text at the
beginning of a sentence it defaults to initial
uppercase.
