If you regularly call contacts at the same company with different extensions, you
can configure your handheld’s Smart Dialing screen so that you only need to dial
the extension. When you type x, followed by the extension number, the handheld
automatically dials the company’s main phone number as you have set it on the
Smart Dialing screen. After a brief period of time, the extension is dialed. Refer to
"To set corporate dialing" on page 153 for more information on configuring this
option.
Tip: To type a phone number extension, hold the 8 key until the letter X appears. Type
the phone number extension.
