Inputing Chinese Characters with PinYin
PinYin is a commonly used text input method for Chinese characters. The PinYin text input feature on VVX
phones uses Nuance XT9
®
Smart Input to enable you to enter Chinese characters into text fields using the
phone’s dial pad keys or onscreen keyboard.
Using the PinYin Input Widget
You can enter Chinese characters in the contact directory, corporate directory, and browser using the PinYin
input widget and the dial pad keys or onscreen keyboard. When you select a data field to edit, the PinYin
input widget is automatically displayed when Simplified or Traditional Chinese is set as the displayed
language on your phone. The following figure shows the PinYin widget on the VVX 1500 phone.
