Tip:
To enter words not likely to be in the T9 Word dictionary, such as
uncommon abbreviations or slang, try changing the text entry mode
from T9 Word to Abc or ABC.
Entering Upper and Lower Case Letters
In Abc and T9 Word modes, you can select to enter only upper
case letters (ABC/T9 WORD), only lower case letters (abc/T9
word), or a mix of the two (Abc/T9 Word).
1. While in T9 Word or Abc mode, repeatedly press to
change the capitalization setting.
The left soft key label changes to indicate the current
capitalization setting.
For example, if the left soft key label is ABC, and you want
to enter the word “BALL”, press until the left soft key
label changes to abc, then enter the word “ball”.
Tip:
To enter a capital letter within a word, such as “SimTam”, change the
capitalization setting to Abc at the beginning of the word and before
entering the “T”. The capitalization setting will automatically change to
abc after you enter each upper case letter.
