Three-way calling
This feature enables you to conduct conference calls
with two separate people at the same time. The
phone records both calls in the Outgoing call log.
You are billed airtime for each of the outgoing calls
separately. Contact your service provider to activate
Three-Way Calling.
To make a three-way call:
1. During a conversation, enter the phone number
for the third person and press the key.
2. When the third person answers, press the
key again to begin your three-way call.
During a three-way call, if one of the callers hangs
up, you and the remaining caller will stay
connected. If you initiated the call and you hang up
first, all calls are disconnected.

Entering text
At many times when using your phone, you will
need to enter text; for example, when storing a
name in Phonebook, writing a text message, or
scheduling events in your calendar. You can enter
alphanumeric characters into your phone by using
your phone’s keypad.
Your phone has the following text input modes:
• Pinyin : allows you to enter a Chinese character
using its Pinyin spelling, which is a phonetic
system.
•
Stroke : allows you to a Chinese character using
the individual strokes labeled on the keys.
•
123 : allows you to enter numbers.
•
Symbol : allows you to enter many different
symbols and special characters.
•
ABC : allows you to enter English characters by
pressing the key labeled with the character you
want until it displays.
•
T9 Word : allows you to enter English characters
with only one keypress per character.
Note : Pinyin, Stroke, and T9 Word modes use the T9
input method. T9 mode automatically compares
your key presses to an internal linguistic
database to determine the correct word.
