Method. Select Multitap (ABC for upper case abc for lower case letters or Abc for upper case

followed by lower case) for entering letters one at a time. Select Smart (ABC, Abc, or abc) to let the phone predict the words you are typing.

Multitap text entry

Multitap text entry enables you to enter individual letters one by one. This is ideal for adding a phonebook entry or entering a WAP address.

When you press a key, the characters ssigned to the key appear in the lower center of the screen. Press the key repeatedly to scroll through these characters.

Smart text entry

You can choose the correct word by pressing the keys repetitively and scrolling through the words suggested by the phone. By reducing the number of keystrokes, the smart text entry method helps some users to type messages more quickly.

Whenever you press a key, a list of possible characters or character combinations is created. To enter text, use the up and down joystick keys to find the character combination you want. Press the right joystick key to proceed entering the next character. If you make a mistake, press Clear.

Here is an example of how to enter the word “baby” using smart text entry.

key. The letter a

appears on the screen.

2.Press the

key again quickly to go to

the next suggestion which is ba. If you press the up/down joystick keys, the phone scrolls through all possible twoletter combinations of the letters a, b, and c.

3.Press the

key again quickly to

display three-letter combinations of the letters a, b, and c.

4.Press the up/down joystick keys to scroll through the possible words. When you see the bab combination, press the right joystick key to proceed to the next letter.

5.Press the

key and the letter x

appears. Press the up/down joystick keys to scroll through letter options and select y.

6.Press Option > Done when finished.

Note: For smart text entry to work properly, ensure the language settings in your phone match the language you want to type in. For setting language, see Phone Setup under Settings.

Numeric text entry

Numeric text entry allows you to create a text message composed of numbers. To use this method, select Option > Input Method and then select Numeric. Now you can directly input the numbers using the keypad.
