Text Input
Using this mode of text entry dramatically reduces the number of key
presses required:
Press a key once for any letter you require on that key. The desired
letter may not be displayed. Continue pressing other keys until the
end of a word is reached; then check that the word has been typed
correctly before continuing on to the next word.
If the combination of letters typed has produced a word which is not
the one you require, press 0 repeatedly until the correct word is
displayed. Continue to the next word.
If the word you require is not in the internal dictionary (i.e. It is a
proper noun or a rarely used word) then it should be entered using
the Normal (U) mode.
Other Text Modes
To access any of the other text entry modes use A to cycle through
until the desired mode is displayed in the Information Area.
When using Normal (U), Greek (V) or Extended (W) text entry
modes, each time a key is pressed in quick succession it will display
the next character available on that key (or if the key is pressed and
held down it will cycle through the available characters). Releasing
the key, or pressing another key will enter the currently displayed
character and the cursor will move to the next position.
Editing Text
Pressing e will move you up or down one text line (or field in
Phonebook). Pressing f will move you left or right one character (or
to the first character of the previous or next word when using T9
®
text
entry mode). When the cursor is moved over a character and another
key pressed this will insert the new character immediately before the
selected character. Pressing B will delete the character to the left of
the cursor or delete the current line when pressed and held.
