Keypad Maps

￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿

Telephone manufacturers in many countries have tried to standardize the location of the letters that appear on a telephone keypad. For example, in the United States, A, B, and C are always on key 2. However, the location of letters on the keypad can vary among countries and among different telephone manufacturers. Many keypads do not show Q and Z, while others may show them on the 1, 7, 9, or 0 key.

THE SYSTEM

The system supports five keypad maps shown on next page. For details on

 

how to set the system to work with the Numbers Only keypad, refer to Chapter

 

10 Numeric Access.

The Wildcard Key

Some lettered keypads support a wildcard key. This is an unlettered key that matches any letter or digit. Subscribers and outside callers can use the wildcard when they are unsure of a spelling. For example, the Q=7, Z=9 keypad map uses the 1 key as a wildcard. Pressing 7-1-1 matches all names which begin with P, Q, R, or S because the 7 key maps to P, Q, R, or S, and the 1 key (the wildcard) maps to any letter.

The numbers-only keypad has a wildcard key that can be used only by subscribers to locate numbered message groups. For example, press 1-1-1 to match all numbered message groups in the system.
