Text Input Options:
While you are in text editing mode, you will be in several modes.
When you see [Option] and [Clear] in the soft key, press the soft key (left)
for option: you can save the entry or change the Text Input Method. To
erase a character, press the soft key (right) next to the character you
want to erase. There can be more than two options depending on what

T9 Text Editing Mode
T9 Text Editing Mode is a predictive text input mode that allows you to
key in any character using single keystrokes.
While you are in T9 editing mode, press the alphanumeric key once for
one character. You will see T9 suggested words.
For example, press 4,3,5,5 and 6 key to enter “hello” in English word
mode. T9 predicts the word that you are typing, and it may change with
each key that you press. And press the [Select] soft key (left) to select the
word you want to write.
If there is no such word in the word list, the left soft key will change from
[Select] to [Add]. Press the [Add] soft key (left) to edit and select ‘Done’ to
save a word to the word list. The next time you enter the word sequence,
you can use the saved word.
You can define the default Input Method of your phone and change
input methods time to time.
To define your preferred input method, go to Phone Setup sub menu in
Settings menu. Then select Preferred Input Method. Once you set the
preferred input method, next time you edit in text input mode, the setting
will be applied until you change to another.
If you want to change the text input method temporarily, in the text input
mode, press [Option] soft key, and select “Input Method” from the option.
• You can change the text input method with the [#] key; the input
methods will swap when you press the [#].
