• TIPS FOR COMPOSING A MESSAGE
Predictive text input
Predictive text allows you to write messages using a built-in dictionary.
It’s much faster than using the traditional “multi-tap” method. For each
letter of the word that you’re spelling, you only need to press the
corresponding key on your keypad once. You can use predictive text to
write a message, create a calendar note, make a to-do list, and more.
Activate/deactivate predictive text
• At any text entry screen, press and hold Options. Predictive text is
turned on (or off), depending on its previous mode.
OR
1 At a text entry screen, press Options, scroll to Predictive text, and
press Select.
2 Scroll to the language of your choice and press Select.
Predictive text is turned on. The predictive text icon ( ) appears in
the upper left corner of the display.
Note: The Language setting affects the time and date formats of
the Clock, Alarm clock, and Calendar.
Use predictive text
For example, to write Nokia, with the English dictionary selected, press
each of the following keys once: (with predictive text on):
665 4 2
