Text Entry

Your phone provides three text entry modes to enter characters.

Press and hold [e] to cycle through the text input modes as follows.
Multi-tap (Abc) 7 Numeric (123) 7 T9 (T9Abc)

The T9

®

 Text input method enables you to enter text faster and 

easier. You only need to press a key once for any letter you require 
on that key. The desired letter may not be displayed. Continue 
pressing other keys until the end of a word is reached. The program 
searches its built-in dictionary to predict the word that most closely 
matches your key presses. If the combination of letters typed has 
produced a word which is not the one you require, press [5] 
repeatedly until the correct word is displayed. In case the required 
word is not in the internal dictionary, press [6] (Spell) to spell the 
required word if “- - -” appears while pressing [5] to search for the 
word, or use Multi-tap mode instead.
For example, to enter “Hello!” in T9

®

 mode, press keys as follows.

A predictive text entry system. You can enter a word with 
fewer key presses.

A traditional way to type in a letter. Press a key several 
times until the required letter appears.

You can enter numbers (0-9), e and r.

phone. See “T9 input” on page 74.

Displayed characters in the T9

 mode vary depending on the T9 language 

setting.
