Managing Your Speed Dial List

Using the Speed Dial screen, you can store up to 104 speed dial entries in

your personal 2420 telephone directory. You can access this screen by

pressing the SpDial softkey at the Home screen.

When you have created a speed dial list, the Speed Dial screen displays the

saved entries in alphabetical order. A single page displays eight entries.

You can add entries, delete entries, and make changes to saved entries in your

personal speed dial list using the softkeys displayed at the bottom of the

screen. You can also save Call Log entries to your Speed Dial List.

When you access your speed dial list to select, edit, or delete entries, you can

use the index feature to locate a specific entry quickly. For example, press 1 on

the dialpad to move directly to the beginning of the list.

You can use keys 2 through 9 on the dialpad to locate entries beginning with

the letters that correspond to these keys. For example, press 3 to locate the

first entry that begins with the letter “D.” If no entries begin with the letter “D,”

then the first entry that begins with the letter “E” is selected.

After you select a speed dial entry for editing, you can use the Insert Mode

while you are working in the Edit screen. When I nsert Mode is enabled (as

indicated by < icon to the right of Insert Mode in the lower right corner of the

screen display), use to move the cursor to the left without erasing

characters. For example, you can press to insert an area code in front of

an existing telephone number in a saved entry.

To turn Insert Mode on and off, press its associated button on the Edit Name/

Number screen. Note that when you first access the Edit Name screen, Insert

Mode is “off.”

Keep in mind that each time you press a key on the dialpad, the alphabetic

character associated with the key is shown on the screen display. In some

cases, you may need to press the same key repeatedly to select other

alphabetic characters. For example, to enter “Jack:”

•Press 5 for “J.” This first letter is automatically entered as an uppercase

letter. All of the following characters in the word appear in lowercase.

•Press 2 for “a.” Then, press to advance the cursor.

•Press 2 three consecutive times for “c.”

•Press 5 twice for “k.”

Note that you must use if the next character you want to enter uses the

same key as the character you just entered (for example, the characters “a”

and “c” are both entered using the 2 key).
