Using predictive text input
Predictive text input allows you to write text quickly using the phone
NUMBER keys
and a built-in dictionary.
Start writing a word using the NUMBER keys.
Although the key has
a number of letters associated with it, press each key only once for
one letter. The phone displays * or the letter if it separately has a
meaning as a word. The entered letters are displayed underlined.
To insert a special character or smiley, press and hold * ,
or press
Options » Insert symbol » Character or Smiley. Scroll to a
character or smiley, and press
Use.
To accept the suggested word, press the zero NUMBER key
to add
a space.
If the
? character is displayed after the word, the word you intended
to write is not in the dictionary. To add the word to the dictionary,
press
Spell. Complete the word (traditional text input is used), and
press
Save.
To write a compound word, enter the first part of the word, and scroll
forward
to confirm it. Write the next part of the word, and confirm the
word.
Numeric input
Numeric input is the standard method used whenever number entry
is
required, for example, when dialling a phone number. Press the key
with the corresponding number to enter it.
When using a text input feature, for example sending a text message,
you
can switch to numeric input (for entering telephone numbers for
instance) using a single key press:
1. With the cursor in the
Text: field, press and hold the # key until the
menu is displayed.
2. With
Number mode highlighted, press Select.
3. Use the NUMBER keys
to enter the numbers you require.
4. Press and hold the # key
again to return to the previous text entry
mode.
If you only need to enter a single number, press and hold that
number key and the single number will be entered into your
message.
Special character input
Most common special characters, for example, punctuation marks,
can
be inserted by pressing the 1 NUMBER key. Other special
characters can be inserted in your text at any time using the special
characters input mode:
1. With the cursor in the
Text: field, press the * key (or press and hold
if predictive text input is On) until the special character menu is
displayed.
2. Scroll to the required special character and press
Use.
Special characters take up more space than basic characters and if
there
are special characters in your message, the indicator may not
show the message length correctly. Before the message is sent, the
device tells you if the message exceeds the maximum length allowed
for one message. You can cancel sending by selecting Cancel or you
can save the message in the inbox.
Font size
Your Vertu phone supports different font sizes for viewing your
messages.
Your font size setting affects both messages being
composed and messages received, but does not affect how the
recipient views the message.
To change the font size for your messages:
1. From the stand-by display, press
Menu » Messages »
Message settings » General settings » Font size.
2. Scroll to either
Small font, Normal font or Large font and
then press
Select.
Groups
If you frequently send messages to a fixed group of recipients, you
can define a group to simplify the process.
When you send a message to a group the phone automatically sends
the
message separately to each recipient in the list. Sending a
message using a group will incur charges for each recipient in the
list. See “Groups” on page 35.
Undelivered messages
If you send a message and it fails to be delivered, your Vertu phone
behaves in different ways depending on the type of message sent.
Some service providers do not allow international sending or
receiving of text messages. For more information contact your
service provider.
Single recipient messages
If a message you have sent to a single number fails, your screen will
display
Message sending failed. Check details.
1. Press OK.
2. The unsent message will appear in your
Outbox.
3. With the message highlighted, either press
Open to read the
message or press
Options, scroll to one of the options and then
press
Select:
Retry sending resends the message to the original recipient
Delete removes the message from the Outbox
