Entering Characters by Using Alphabet Mode
To enter characters by using Alphabet mode (multi-tap text
entry):
1. Select the Alphabet mode. (See “Selecting a Character
Input Mode” on page 35.)
2. Press the corresponding keys repeatedly until the
desired letter appears. (For example, to enter the word
“Bill,” press twice, three times,
three times, and then press 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 lowercased. 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:
