Predictive text is implemented on the 9555 Satellite Phone and affects the

following areas:

• Creating an SMS/Email

• Adding Notes to an existing Phonebook entry

• Entering the Name field for a Phonebook entry (LetterWise only)

Predictive text is not set on a new phone by default, it must be enabled. To

do so, start at the main screen and:

1. Press the Menu softkey

2. Select "Setup" (6 clicks down)

3. In the Setup menu, select "Language" (3 clicks down)

4. In the Language menu, select "Text entry"

In the Text entry menu, Multi-tap is the default selection. Multi-tap has no

language sensitivity, other than the fact that it provides standard Western

characters. To choose predictive text, select one of:

• English

• Français

• Español

Once you have made this change, all SMS entry and entry of contacts

incorporate Predictive Text capabilities specifi c to the selected language.

Once selected, select the "Back" option twice, then scroll up to "Messages"

to use Predictive Text entry for messaging. To change back to "Multi-Tap" in

the future, you need to adjust this setting.

Predictive text entry has the following modes:

• WordWise (Ww) which provides word prediction for users who like

dictionary-based methods

• LetterWise (Lw) for letter-by-letter prediction for situations where word-

based prediction doesn't afford the flexibility that may be required in

some situations.

Special character entry has the following modes:

• Punctuation (#?@) for entry of punctuation and special symbols

• Digit (123) for entry of numbers

To complete a message, you may need to switch between these four main

modes of text entry during message creation:

• WordWise (Ww) - word predictive text entry

• LetterWise (Lw) - letter-by-letter predictive text entry

• Numbers (123) - number entry (non-predictive)

• Punctuation (#?@) - punctuation entry (non-predictive)

The appropriate text entry mode can be selected by pressing the

Convenience key on the side of the 9555 Satellite Phone. The active text

entry mode will be displayed on the screen as indicated in the illustrations.

LetterWise Text mode

Press the Convenience key until you are in LetterWise (Lw) text mode.

Press the key with the desired letter. If it doesn't appear, press the Next

key ( ) until it does. Use the Right Soft key (Clear) for backspace and

Space key ( ) for space. Press the Shift key ( ) to switch between lower

and upper case.

Note: Apostrophe (') for English entry and hyphen (-) for Russian entry are

treated as letters (that is, can be predicted by LetterWise) and are found on

key 5.

Example: Entering "don't"

WordWise Text mode

Press the Convenience key until the "ww" symbol appears in the top left

corner of the screen indicating that you have entered WordWise text entry

mode. To enter text in WordWise, press the key containing the fi rst letter

you want to type ONLY ONCE.

If the correct letter does not appear at first, continue by pressing the key

that corresponds to the next letter in your text, and so on.

After pressing the last key in the sequence, the word should appear.

However, if the word is underlined (or highlighted), it is possible that an

alternate word (which happens to require the same key presses) appeared

instead. Just press Next key until the desired word appears.

If the word you are entering is not found in any dictionary you can switch

to LetterWise mode by pressing the convenience key and viewing the top

left corner of the screen.

During use of WordWise, the 1 key can be used to insert punctuation

without changing text entry modes. To insert punctuation, press the 1 key

and then add the appropriate punctuation by using the Next key ( ). As

an alternative, you may also use the left option key either "Insert symbol"

or "Enter digits" during WordWise use. This also applies to LetterWise use

Digit mode (123)

There may be times when you need to add numbers into a message

that you are composing. Digit mode allows you to use the number keys

to enter digits, similar to dialing a phone call. To enter digit mode, press

the Convenience key until the 123 indicator appears on the upper left

corner of the screen. Enter the numbers required for your message and

then use the Convenience key to return to the desired text entry mode to

complete the rest of the message.

Digit mode may be entered either by pressing the Convenience key on

the side of the phone, or with the Options menu in the Create Message

editor to "Enter digits". During use of WordWise, the 1 key can be used to

insert punctuation without changing text entry modes.

Punctuation mode (#?@)

Punctuation mode may be entered either by pressing the Convenience

key on the side of the phone, or with the Options menu in the Create

Message editor to "Insert symbol". During use of WordWise, the 1 key can

be used to insert punctuation without changing text entry modes.

In Punctuation mode, symbols are spread across all keys based on their

shape to help you remember which symbol is on each key (see table on

following page). For example: ! is on 1 key, ? is on key 2

If there is more than one symbol on a key, press the Next key ( ) to get

the others.

Once you have selected the appropriate symbol for your message,

you may return to your preferred text entry mode by pressing the side

convenience key and viewing the top left corner of the screen.
