3. Text entry
You can use two methods for
entering text and numbers:
• Standard mode is the only way to
enter text into the contacts list,
and to rename caller groups.
• Predictive input is a quick and
easy method for writing messages
and creating a calendar note.
■ Standard mode
Text (Abc)
• Press a key once to insert the first
letter on the key, twice for the
second letter, etc. If you pause
briefly, the last letter in the
display is accepted and your
phone awaits the next entry.
• Press 0 to enter a space thereby
accepting a completed word.
• Press 1 to enter a period (.).
• Press * to display special characters.
See more about special
characters on the following pages.
Numbers (123)
To switch to 123 mode from Abc mode,
press and hold # at any message entry
screen until the icon in the upper left
corner of the display switches from
Abc to 123 (or vice versa).
To enter a single number in Abc mode,
press and hold the specific number
key until the number appears.
Punctuation and special
characters
While at any text entry screen, press
* to display special characters (press
and hold * if predictive text is on).

special characters. Once a character

■ Predictive text input
Predictive text input allows you to
write messages quickly using your
keypad and the built-in dictionary. It
is much faster than the standard
mode method, because for each letter,
you only press the corresponding key
on your keypad once.
