Section 5: Entering Text 44
Changing the Text Entry Mode
When using your phone, you will often need to enter text,
such as when storing a name in Phone book, creating your
personal greeting or scheduling events on your calendar.
You can enter alphanumeric characters by using your
phone’s keypad.
Your phone has the following text input modes:
T9 mode
This mode 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 5 key can enter
J, K, or L. However, the T9 mode 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
Alphabet mode.
Alphabet mode
This mode 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 it displays.
Number mode
This mode allows you to enter numbers.
Symbol mode
This mode allows you to enter symbols, such as
punctuation marks.
