KEYPADS

Your phone has two on-screen keypads: a standard keypad with multiple letters per button and a full QWERTY keypad that is similar to your computer keyboard.

QWERTY keypad

To display the on-screen QWERTY keypad when creating a message, rotate the phone horizontally in a counterclockwise direction.

Standard keypad

Your standard keypad supports four text modes:

T9® Prediction mode: This mode allows you to enter

words with only one tap per letter and the phone predicts the word you want. For example, to enter

run, tap the buttons with the letters pqrs, tuv, and mno.

Traditional mode: This mode allows you to enter

letters by tapping the same button until the correct letter displays. For example, to enter run, tap the

pqrs button three times, the tuv button two times, and the mno button two times.

Number mode: This mode allows you to enter

numbers.

Symbol mode: This mode allows you to enter

symbols such as punctuation marks.

Change text mode:

When creating a message, tap the T9 button to turn the T9 Prediction mode on or off.

To enter symbols, tap the SYM button. Tap the arrows to scroll up or down and tap the desired symbol.

EMERGENCY DIALING

CARING FOR YOUR PHONE

While all phones are equipped with 911 emergency calling, this phone may or may not permit its location to be approximated during a 911 call.*

* Availability of this feature depends on upgrades to the (a) wireless network and (b) 911 calling system that are required to be installed by the local 911 response agency or public safety answering point (PSAP); these upgrades may not be available everywhere within our wireless coverage area or your roaming area. This approximation of the phone’s location and the transmittal of location information are subject to emergency situations, transmission limits, network problems/limitations, interconnecting carrier problems, your phone, buildings/tunnels, signal strength and atmospheric/topographical conditions, and may be curtailed, interrupted, dropped or refused. The phone’s approximate location is transmitted to the local 911 response agency or PSAP while the call is in progress; this approximation is intended solely to aid the PSAP in dispatching emergency assistance or to limit the search area for emergency services personnel. You should not rely solely on a phone for essential communications (such as a medical or other emergency). Please see T-Mobile’s Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy for additional service restrictions and details.

MAKING IT LAST

Your phone is a complex electronic device; think of it as a mini-computer. Here are some hints that should help you extend the life of your new phone.

Phones aren’t cheap, so keep yours in a safe place—away

fromchildrenwhomaynditfuntoseeifthephonesinksor oats,andawayfromdogsthatndplastic-coatedproducts

to be irresistible chew toys.

Water will damage your phone and accessories—even a small amount such as water droplets from a soda in your car

cup-holder,meltingsnowakes,tearsofjoy,squirt-guncrossreorsteamfromhotwaterinthekitchenorbathroom.

Use only batteries and accessories from the original manufacturer of your phone. Non-approved accessories can

cause damage to you or your phone and shorten the phone’s life. Hint: If it’s being sold out of someone’s car trunk, walk away.

If your charger or any other accessory is damaged,

replace it or take it to a qualied service dealer. Do not attempt to operate your phone charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, thrown from a speeding motorcycle or is otherwise damaged; doing so may damage your phone.

TIPS FOR SAFETY

Check with your doctor if you have a pacemaker or hearing aid in order to ensure that cell phone usage is safe with your phone. If you have questions about the interaction of cellular radio frequency and any other electronic equipment, ask the manufacturer of the equipment if cell phone radio frequencies will disrupt the equipment’s performance.

When you are driving, T-Mobile encourages you to use your phone in a safe and sensible manner. Here are a few tips:

Assess road conditions before answering.

Your safety is more important than any call.

Prepare your hands-free headset, if you have one,

or turn on your speakerphone option before you start moving.

If your phone rings and you discover

it’s in the back seat, do NOT crawl over the seat to answer it while driving.

Program frequently used numbers into your

speed dial for easy one-touch dialing.

Remember that laws prohibiting or restricting the use

of a mobile phone while driving may apply in your area.
