for the cursor to reappear before entering
the second.
Also, you will notice that some intelligent
features are built in. For example, when
entering the first word in a sentence, the text
input mode changes automatically from
upper case to lower case after the first letter.
Some punctuation marks (including full
stops, hyphens and apostrophes) are
available on
1. Alternatively, press and
hold
#
to pick a symbol to insert from the
character table (see the Entering symbols
section below).
When you have finished entering a word,
press
#
to enter a space and move on to the
next word.
For example, to enter the name "Ross" when
you are in lower case mode:
1 Press
*
to enter upper case mode,
2 Press
7 three times, to display "R", you
will then return to lower case mode.
3 Press
6 three times, to display "o".
4 Press
7 four times, to display "s". Now
pause slightly until the cursor reappears.
5 Then press
7 four times, to display "s".
Predictive text input
To save time when you are writing a text
message, your phone has a built-in
dictionary feature which uses the letters that
you are typing to complete the word.
This input method allows you to simply
press each key once. For example, to write
the name "Ross", press
7, then 6, then
7, then 7 just once each.
The word may change as you type, but don’t
worry about what is on the screen until you
have finished the word. Sometimes different
words share the same sequence of key
presses. If the finished word is wrong, press
0 to scroll through other possibilities. If
the word that you are looking for is still not
there, press
*
repeatedly to change the text
mode to
β or α and enter the word
again.
After you have completed a word, press the
space key
#
to enter a space and move on
to the next word. Press and hold
#
to pick a
symbol to insert from the character table
(see the Entering symbols section below).
Some intelligent punctuation (including full
stops, hyphens and apostrophes) are also
available on
1. The punctuation mark is
completed when you enter the next
keystroke.
