Entering Text - LG KG220 User Manual

Entering text

You can enter alphanumeric characters by using the phone's
keypad. For example, storing names in the phonebook, writing
a message, creating a personal greeting. The following text
input methods are available in the phone.
T9 Mode
This mode lets you enter words with only one keystroke per
letter. Each key on the keypad has more than one letter. The
T9 mode automatically compares your keystrokes with an
internal dictionary to determine the correct word, thus
requiring far fewer keystrokes than the traditional ABC
mode. This is sometimes known as predictive text.
ABC Mode
This mode lets you enter letters by pressing the key labeled
with the required letter once, twice, three or four times until
the letter is displayed.
123 Mode (Numbers Mode)
Type numbers using one keystroke per number. To change
to 123 mode in a text entry field, press the
mode is displayed.

Using the T9 mode
The T9 predictive text input mode lets you enter words easily
with a minimum number of key presses. As you press each key,
the phone begins to display the characters that it thinks you
are typing based on the built-in dictionary. You can also add
new words in the dictionary. As new words are added, the
word changes to reflect the most likely candidate from the
dictionary.
