Entering Characters Using Alphabet Mode
To enter characters using Alphabet mode (multi-tap text entry):
1. Select the Alphabet mode. (See “Selecting a Character
Input Mode”on page 43.)
2. Press the corresponding keys repeatedly until the correct
letter appears. (For example, to enter the word “Bill,”
press twice, three times, three times,
and then press three times again.) (If you make a
mistake, press to erase a single character. Press and
hold to delete an entire entry.)
By default, the first letter of an entry is capitalized and the
following letters are lowercased. 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.
Characters scroll in the following order:
Tip:
The beginning of the word after the space is changed to
upper/lower case depending on shift mode. You can change
the shift mode by pressing [shift*].
