Backlights
Backlights illuminate the display and the keypad. When you press
any key or open the phone, the backlights come on. They go off
when no keys are pressed within a period of time set in the
Backlight menu.
Note:
During a phone call, the display backlight dims after 10 seconds and
turns off after 30 seconds to conserve battery power, regardless of the
Backlight setting.
For more information, refer to “Backlight” on page 102.
Your Phone’s Modes
Call Answer Mode
You can choose to answer a call by pressing any key except the
key or key, by pressing only the key, or by
opening the phone’s slide. (For more information, refer to “Call
Settings” on page 105.)
Input mode
Input mode determines how you enter text, numbers, and
symbols. While at any text entry screen, press the Left soft key
( or ), then choose the input mode from the pop-up
menu using the Navigation key. Optional input modes are T9
Word, Abc, ABC, Symbol, and 123. (For more information, refer
to “Entering Text” on page 33.)
Note:
With the QWERTY keypad open, T9 Word and Symbol input modes are
not available. Use 123 mode instead of Symbol to enter symbols and
punctuation in your text.
Tip:
With the phone closed, you can also cycle between T9 Word, Abc, and
123 by pressing and holding the key until the phone beeps, for
each cycle.
