INSTRUCTIONS & INFO

Note: When replying to an email or sending a text message, you have multiple text entry options including Handwriting, T9 Word, Emojis, S Voice and Quick Message.
- WRITE WITH HANDWRITING: Draw the desired letter with your finger. The letter will appear at the top of the screen.Â
Note: You can only draw one letter at a time.
- WRITE WITH T9 WORD: T9 ("Text on 9 keys") allows words to be entered by a single keypress for each letter, as opposed to the multi-select approach used in conventional mobile phone text entry, in which several letters are associated with each key, and selecting one letter often requires multiple keypresses. It combines the groups of letters on each device key with a dictionary of words. From the Handwriting keyboard, rotate the bezel to the right. Select the desired key for each letter of the word. If the desired word does not appear, swipe left on the Suggestion bar to scroll to and select the desired word.
