This mobile phone has different input
methods for entering Chinese
characters:
• Stroke input
• Pinyin input
You can use these methods, for
example, to enter Chinese names and
Chinese short messages.
Switching between Chinese input
methods
In the Chinese editing mode, you can
select and switch quickly to another
input method by pressing and
holding.
General instructions
Regardless of which input method you
choose, your phone has a function to
speed up the entry of Chinese
characters. Whenever you enter a
stroke or a Pinyin letter, a candidate
row of the most frequently used
characters containing that stroke or
relating to that letter appears at the
bottom of the screen.
If the character you want is not
displayed in the candidate row, press
to present another candidate row.
Continue pressing until the
character you want is displayed.
Alternatively, you can enter the next
stroke or Pinyin letter and a new set of
characters will immediately be
displayed in the candidate row. To go
back to the previous row, press . To
select a character in the candidate
row, press the navigation key or press
and hold the key corresponding to the
number above the character you want
to enter.
Stroke input
A Chinese character is built up of
strokes. There are more than 30 basic
strokes, which are grouped into 5
stroke categories. Each category is
represented on the keypad by one of
the keys -. The Wild Card
key , is used when you are not
sure of which stroke to use.
The basic building units of Chinese
characters are components that are
made up of strokes. After entering the
first two strokes of the desired
character, the component and
character candidates that started with
that stroke are displayed in the
candidate row.
Using components is a fast method
for entering complex characters.
The smaller candidates surrounded by
dotted frames are components, and the
bigger candidates without dotted frames
are characters.
信息

”
1 Enter “ ”, “ ” and “ ”.
2 Move the cursor to “ 信 ”, press .

character and that the total number of
strokes is four, enter , , ,
