Entering Characters by Tapping the Keypad
To enter characters by tapping the keypad, you must be in a
display screen that allows for text entry. Press the
corresponding key until the desired character appears. By
default, the first letter of a word is capitalized and following
letters are lowercase.
Characters scroll in the following order:
䊳 . , @ ‘ ? ! - 1
䊳 A B C 2
䊳 D E F 3
䊳 G H I 4
䊳 J K L 5
䊳 M N O 6
䊳 P Q R S 7
䊳 T U V 8
䊳 W X Y Z 9
䊳 Space 0 (to create a new line)
䊳 Shift
After a character is entered, the cursor automatically advances
to the next space after two seconds or when you enter a
character not on the same key.
Using Predictive Text
Predictive Text Input (T9 Text Input) can be used to simplify
text input. Predictive Text Input analyzes the combination of
letters you enter using an intuitive word database, and creates a
suitable word after you have pressed the appropriate keys in
sequence that contain the letters you seek.
Predictive Text Input
When you use Predictive Text, note that the word may change
as you type, so it is best not to read the screen until after you
have keyed in your sequence. Predictive text is designed to
require just one key press per letter.
