A message can be constructed from scratch, or from a predefined template that can be used as it is or

The first character entered is always upper-case, followed by lower-case character. However, this may be
overridden by pressing the * -key before entering the character.
When pressing a key, the first available character for that key is displayed, see 2.5 Alphanumeric Keys,
page 12. To enter the other characters supported by the key, press the key until that character appears in
the display.
The keys 0-9, * or # can be used. Keys 0 and 1 contains special characters, see 2.5 Alphanumeric Keys,

For example, to enter the character E, press key 3 twice. "E" appears in the display and is selected after a
timeout or when another key is pressed.
Tip: If the system supports UTF-8 character encoding, the input language can be changed temporarily by
long pressing
. This can be used to temporarily access characters in a foreign language.
To delete a character, press Clear.
