Using ABC Mode
Using ABC Mode
To use ABC mode, use the 2 to 9 keys to enter your text.
1. Press the key labeled with the letter you want:
• Once for the first letter
• Twice for the second letter
• And so on
2. Select the other letters in the same way.
• To enter periods, hyphens, apostrophes, and other special characters, press
the key. ABC mode applies grammar rules to ensure that correct
punctuation is used.
• To shift case in ABC mode, use the key. There are 3 cases: Initial capital,
Capital lock, and Lower case.
You can move the cursor by using the Navigation keys. To delete letters, press the
key. Press and hold the key to clear the display.
Note: The cursor moves to the right when you press a different key. When entering the same letter twice or
a different letter on the same key, just wait for a few seconds for the cursor to move to the right
automatically, and then select the next letter.
Keys
By default, the first letter of an entry is capitalized and all consecutive letters are
kept in lowercase (unless the Shift key is used). 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 (lowercase characters shown in
parentheses):
. @ , - ? ! : ( ) / 1 P Q R S 7 (p q r s 7)
A B C 2 (a b c 2) T U V 8 (t u v 8)
D E F 3 (d e f 3) W X Y Z 9 (w x y z 9)
G H I 4 (g h i 4) 0 (Adds a space)
J K L 5 (j k l 5) Symbol (Spell Checker)
M N O 6 (m n o 6) Shift (Toggles Lower/Uppercase)
