Entering Text 34

Section 5: Entering Text

This section outlines how to select the desired text input mode when entering characters into your phone. This

section also describes how to use the T9 predictive text entry system to reduce the number of key strokes associated

with entering text.

Changing the Text Input Mode

When using your phone, you often need to enter text, such as when storing a name in your Contacts List, creating

your personal greeting or scheduling events on your calendar. You can enter alphanumeric characters by using your

phone’s keypad.

Your phone has the following text input modes:

•

: this mode allows you to enter words with only one keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad has more than one letter; for

example, touching can enter J, K, or L. However, the T9

mode automatically compares the series of keystrokes you

make with an internal linguistic dictionary to determine the most likely word, thus requiring far fewer keystrokes than the

traditional ABC mode.

•

ABC mode

: this mode allows you to enter letters by touching the key labeled with the letter you want.

•

Numeric

: this mode allows you to enter numbers.

•

Symbols

: this mode allows you to enter symbols, such as punctuation marks.

When you are in a field that allows character entry, the text input mode indicator displays on the lower portion of the

screen (second icon from the left).
