Entering Characters by Tapping the Keypad
To enter characters by tapping the keypad:
1. Select the Alpha mode. (See “Selecting a Character
Input Mode” on page 36.)
2. Press the corresponding keys repeatedly until the
desired letter appears. (For example, to enter the word
“Bill,” press twice, three times, three
times, and three times again.) (If you make a
mistake, press to erase a single character. Press
and hold to delete an entire entry
.)
By default, the first letter of an entry is capitalized and the
following letters are lower cased. After a character is
entered, the cursor automatically advances to the next
space after two seconds or when you enter a character on a
different key.
Characters scroll in the following order:
