Text Entry This section describes how to enter and edit the text. There are four types of text entry.
• Multitap Text (ABC) Input: You press each key as many times as needed to display the character you want. • T9® Text Input: Intuitive texting predicts the word you are trying to enter. • Numeric Input: Enters only numbers. • Symbol Input: Enters symbols, Greek alphabet characters, or characters with accents.
T9® Text Input is covered by the United Kingdom Pat. No. 2238414B, Euro. Pat. No. 0 842 463 (96927260.8) and other patents pending. The maximum number of characters allowed in an item or a field is defined as the number of single-byte characters that can be input. When entering double byte characters such as accents (ë, î, ô, etc.) or triple byte characters such as the Euro symbol (€), the maximum number of characters will vary accordingly.
Below are examples of text entry methods.
