Using the Chinese Pinyin Mode
Pinyin is a system to mark Chinese
pronunciation in Latin alphabets. With the pinyin
input method, you can enter Chinese characters
by keying in the pinyin string from the phone
keypad and the phone automatically presents
the matching alternatives.
This mode allows you to enter Pinyin characters
with only one key press per letter.
Typing Characters in the Pinyin Mode
1. Press keys corresponding to the phonetic
spelling, referring to the alphabets printed on
the keys. Notice that the choices in the
Character Selection Map change.
