Enter Numbers - Nokia 2285 User Manual

Pressing a key repeatedly cycles you through all of that key options. To enter a letter, press the
appropriate key repeatedly until the desired letter appears. Continue this process until the word
or name is completed.
Note: If the next letter in the word you are entering is on the same key, wait two to
three seconds for the cursor to advance, and enter the new letter, or press 0 to
advance the cursor.
Important: Phone language settings may affect the characters associated with the
phone keypad.
For example: to enter the name "Albert," do the following:
Press Displayed text
2 for A A

2 for b Alb
3-3 for e Albe
7-7-7 for r Alber
8 for t Albert
Note: Default mode is sentence case where the first letter of a name or sentence is
automatically capitalized. Phone book default mode is title case where the first letter
of each word is capitalized.
