Using menus with keypads for address input When using the various options for
address input, you often need to enter
address data using menus with

nonexistent letter or number
combinations.
The use of menus with keypads will
be described below by the example of
entering a city name:
Successively select the letters for the desired city name. During this
process the system will automatically
block letters that cannot occur next in the city name.
If you need to enter a letter or special character that is not provided by the
currently displayed keypad, select the More screen button once or several
times, until a keypad is displayed that
provides the required letter or special character.How many keypads are available,
and which letters or special
characters are provided by the
keypads, depend on the particular situation.
To delete already entered letters,
select the Delete screen button once
or several times.
If the system finds a city name in its
