NOTE You do not need to press Option to
access the numbers on the keyboard.
However, when dialing short numbers,
such as 411, the number may conflict with
a contact name. If this occurs, press
Option to avoid starting a contact
lookup. You can always dial emergency call
numbers without pressing Option first.
Dialing by contact name
You can look up contacts quickly by
entering just a few letters of a contact’s
name directly from your Today screen.
Before you can dial a call by contact name,
you must create some contacts (see
“Adding a contact” on page53) or import
them by synchronizing (see “Synchronizing
contacts and otheri nfo” on page23).
1Go to your Today screen (see “Using
your Today screen” on page22).
2Using the keyboard, begin entering one
ofthe following for the contact you
want to call:
•First name (JOH for John)
•Last name (SMI for Smith)
•First initial, a space, and then last
initial (J S for John Smith)
•First name and last name
(JOH SMI for John Smith)
For example, entering SM finds both
Smilla Anderson and John Smith.
Entering SM A finds only Smilla
Anderson.
