Using the T9 (English) Mode
To type a word, press keys corresponding to the letters you need. Remember the following as you are typing:
1. Press alphanumeric keys on the keypad just once per letter. For example, to enter “Hello,” press the 4 ,
3 , 5 , 5 and 6 keys.
The word you are typing appears on the display. It may change with each key press.
2. Type to the end of the word before editing or deleting any keystrokes.
3. Put a space between words by pressing the key.
If the word that appears on the display is not the one that you desire, press the 0 key one or more times to display alternative word choices for the keys you have typed. For example, both “of” and
“me” use the 6 and 3 keys. The phone displays the most commonly used choice first.
4. Continue entering the next word.
Smart Punctuation
Periods, hyphens, and apostrophes are available by pressing the 1 key. The T9 mode applies rules of grammar to insert the correct punctuation. Notice that the 1 key is used twice in this example to display two punctuation marks:
L e t ‘ s e a t .

• T9word : all letters are lower case.
Press the key one or more times to display the appropriate case indicator and begin typing normally.
Other Usages
• Press the key to insert a space.

Using the Alphabet Mode
When typing in the Alphabet mode, you need to press the keys labeled with the required letter:
- Once for the first letter
- Twice for the second letter
- And so on
This method is called multi-tap typing.
For example, you press the 2 key three times to display the letter “C” and the 5 key two times to display the letter “K.”
The cursor moves to the right when you press a different key. When entering the same letter twice or a different letter on the same key, just wait for a few seconds for the cursor to move to the right automatically, and then enter the next letter.
Refer to the table below for the list of characters assigned on each key.
