Text Entry Modes


To enter text information quickly, the microbrowser has several different text entry modes. When a text mode is selected, it determines the type of information you enter.

Mode Soft Key Symbol Purpose
Alphabetic characters - Lower case abc Enter text in lowercase. To enter the word "apple" type: 27755533
Alphabetic characters - First letter of a word in upper case ABC Enter the first letter in uppercase. To enter the word "Apple" type: 27755533
Alphabetic characters - Upper case +ALPHA Enter text in uppercase. To enter the word "APPLE" type: 27755533
Numeric characters 123 Enter numbers.
Symbols 1 Emoticons Enter symbols - Find the desired symbol and select the associated key.
T9 WORD Emoticons This mode is intended to speed-up text entry. The client should enter text characters in order, but click the appropriate key only once per letter. For example, the word "apple" would be entered by pressing 27753 (that is, only one keypress per letter of the word). Each additional text character added causes Word to narrow the list of possible words, and it displays the most likely selection.

Resetting the cache


Cache files are designed to help load Web pages faster. Each time you open a Web page, your browser creates a cache file - a temporary copy - of the page's text and graphics.

Periodically reset your cache so that the links and pages you see are always the latest version. Resetting the cache can also help if you are experiencing a problem with a page you can normally view.

To reset your cache:

  1. Launch your microbrowser.
  2. Press the MENU key
  3. choose Clear
  4. Press OK to select cache
  5. Navigate down to "clear"
  6. Press OK
  7. Press OK again on yes button

The microbrowser must be connected for this to work.
