Entering Characters Using Alpha Mode
To enter characters using Alpha mode (multi-tap key entry):
1. Select the Alpha mode (See “Selecting a Character Input Mode” on
page 45).
2. Press the corresponding keys repeatedly until the desired letter is
displayed. 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 lowercases. 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):
Note:
Accented characters are available only if the Dual Language text option
is set to Spanish.
