35 Entering Text
Alpha mode
To enter characters by tapping the keypad, select the Alpha mode
(see “Selecting a Character Input Mode” on page 29). Press the
corresponding key repeatedly until the desired character appears.
When the icon is shown, the first letter of the first word is
capitalized and following letters are lowercase. The key can be
used to switch between uppercase, lowercase, and mixed case.
To enter text using Alpha:
1. From a text entry screen (for example, a Contacts entry),
press the right softkey for Options and select Alpha.
2. Use your keypad to enter the contact's name. (For example,
to enter "Bill", press
twice, three times,
three times, and then after a brief pause three times
again.)
Characters scroll in the following order:
After a character is entered, the cursor automatically advances to the
next space after two seconds or when you enter a character on a
different key.
