Writing a message text using T9 technology
T9 helps you write a message more quickly, even in other languages
(languages are determined by which software version is installed in the cell
phone).
You can also use s to write multilingual messages. Simply change the dictionary
using the menu provided ( “IT9/EMS menu” on page 25).
How does T9 technology work?
There is a database in the unit containing a large number of terms.
Press each of the letter keys one time only to write a word.
For example, to write the word "telephone", press (one time each) the following
keys: 8-3-5-3-7-4-6-6-3.
The software processes the series of key commands, determines which of the
terms in the dictionary is most likely to be the one you want, and then writes it.
The characters on the screen may change as you are writing, meaning that the
word you want will only be displayed once you have finished pressing the keys.
In most cases, the phone will choose the term you wanted.
If the term that is displayed is not the one you wanted, press to see
all the alternative terms - e.g. all the other terms you could write by pressing the
same keys.
For example, by pressing 2-2-5-3 you can write "cake" or "able".
If the word you want to write is not among the options, you can add it to the
dictionary.
How to add new words to T9 database
If the T9 database doesn’t include any word that could be composed with the
keys you pressed, you are asked whether you want to save a new word in the
database. Confirm by pressing or reject with ; if you accept, a separate
text editor will be opened to compose the new word in “normal” mode. The new
word, confirmed with , will be automatically saved in the database and will
be recognized by T9.
