Entering Characters by Tapping the Keypad
To enter characters by tapping the keypad, select the ABC mode
(see “Selecting a Character Input Mode” on page 27). Press the
corresponding key repeatedly until the desired character appears.
By default, the first letter of the first word is capitalized and
following letters are lowercase.
To enter text using ABC:
1. From a text entry screen (for example, a contact entry), press
and hold to select ABC.
2. Use your keypad to enter the contact's name. (For example, to
enter "Bill", press twice, three times, three
times, and three times again.)
Characters scroll in the following order:
ⅷ . , - ? ! ‘ @ : 1
ⅷ A B C 2
ⅷ D E F 3
ⅷ G H I 4
ⅷ J K L 5
ⅷ M N O 6
ⅷ P Q R S 7

ⅷ W X Y Z 9

ⅷ Shift (

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.
