Using iTAP™ Method
iTAP™ software provides a predictive text entry 
method that lets you enter a word using 1 keypress per 
letter. This can be faster than 
Tap method, because your 
phone combines the keypresses into common words.
For example, if you press 
7 7 6 4, letter 
combinations that match your keypresses display:
If you want a different word (such as 
Progress), continue

Entering Words
In a text entry screen, you can press # to switch entry 
methods. An indicator tells you which method is active 
(see page 30). If 
iTAP method is not available as the Primary 
or 
Secondary entry method, see page 37.

phone stores it to use as 1 of your word options. When you 
fill memory space for unrecognized words, your phone 
deletes the oldest words to add new words.

Using the 
Smart Key
The smart key gives you 
another way to perform 
many basic phone 
functions. It anticipates the next action you are likely to 
perform. For example, when you highlight a menu item, 
you can press the smart key to select it. You can use 
the smart key to make and end calls, turn features on 
and off, and open your phonebook. The smart key 
usually performs the same function as the right soft key 
(
+).
Tip: To take a self portrait: activate the camera, close the 
flip, use the mirror to aim the camera lens, then press the 
smart key to take a photo.
Using the External Display
When the flip is closed, the external display shows time, 
date, and phone status information. It also displays 
messages to notify you of incoming calls and other events. 
You can perform the following functions in the external 
display.

accessory.
Changing a Code, PIN, or 
Password
Your phone’s 4-digit unlock code is originally set to 1234, 
and the 6-digit security code is originally set to 000000. 
Your service provider may reset these codes before you 
receive your phone.
If your service provider has 
not reset these codes, we 
recommend that you change them to prevent others from 
accessing your personal information. The unlock code 
must contain 4 digits, and the security code must contain 6 
digits.
You can also reset your SIM card PIN code, PIN2 code, 
and/or call barring password if necessary.
