Using T9 to type
T9 enables you to write text messages by pressing each
number key just once (e.g. 4, 6, 8, 3, 5 for “hotel”).
To type, press the number key that shows the letter you
want, then repeat for the next letter, regardless of
whether the word’s correct. At the end of the word,
check it’s now correct and press 1 for a space.
T9 suggestions
If you reach the end of a word and it’s not right, then
click
to choose ¼ and repeat until you reach the
right suggestion (press 1 for a space) or your Xelibri
offers Spell.
To spell a word
Click to choose Spell and spell out the word by press-
ing a key the right number of times for the letter you
want. For example, press 2 once for “a” and twice for “b”.
Keep pressing for characters with accents.
Leave a short pause between letters that appear on the
same key.
When the word is correct, click
to choose Save,
which remembers the word next time.
Corrections
Click to clear a letter. Hold to clear final word and
(again) all earlier text.
Click
to move back and forward in a message.
