Entering Text 37
Using T9 Mode
T9 is a predictive text input mode that allows you to key in any character on the keypad using single keystrokes. This
text input mode is based on a built-in dictionary.
To enter a word in T9 mode:
1. Start entering a word by pressing the keys corresponding to the letters in the word. Press each key only once
for each letter.
Example:
To enter “Hello” in T9 mode, from the portrait keyboard, press the 4, 3, 5, 5, and 6 keys.
As you type, the characters on the screen change as the built-in dictionary matches your keystrokes to
commonly used words. Enter all letters in the word without editing or deleting the keystrokes.

word displays or no choices remain, at which time you can add the word to the phone’s dictionary (see below).
3. Press to insert a space and begin entering the next word.

display the Symbols page, where you can choose from an extensive list of symbols and other character sets.
