Writing And Editing A Text Message - Siemens Gigaset C450IP Owner's Manual

Writing and editing a text
message
The following rules apply when writing a
text message:
The cursor is controlled with t s.
u
u
Characters are added to the left of the
cursor.
Press the hash key # briefly to switch
u
from "Abc" mode to "123", from "123"
to "abc", and from "abc" to "Abc" (upper
case: 1st letter upper case, all others
lower case). Press the hash key #
before entering the letter.
Press the hash key # 3 times: shows
u
the selection line of the characters
assigned to the hash key.
u
The first letter of the name of directory
entries is automatically capitalised, fol-
lowed by lower case letters.
Editing text
When you press a key and hold it, the
characters of that key appear in the bot-
tom display line and are highlighted one
after the other. When you release the key
the highlighted character is inserted into
the input field. For how to enter special
characters, see page 77.
The display briefly shows whether upper
or lower case letters or digits are selected
when you switch from one mode to the
next: the bottom text line displays "abc ->
Abc", "Abc -> 123" or "123 -> abc".
Order of directory entries
The directory entries are usually sorted in
alphabetical order. Spaces and digits take
first priority. The sort order is as follows:
1. Space (shown here as s)
2. Digits (0–9)
3. Letters (alphabetical)
4. Other characters
To get round the alphabetical order of the
entries, insert a space or a digit in front of
the name. These entries will then move to
the beginning of the directory. Names
which you have preceded with an asterisk
will move to the end of the directory.
