How to Type Using the Keypad

Updated 

24 days ago

The Keypad uses ABC mode for typing. In this mode, you’ll cycle through the corresponding characters (numbers, symbols, punctuation, letters) using the keys numbered 0-9 on your Keypad. This is similar to T9 typing as you would do on a phone that only has a keypad instead of a keyboard.

To type on the Keypad, please reference the keypad button image or table below.
