Appendix A 2.0 Features Update
Revised April 2000 DBS 824-3.0/3.2-700 A-7
Directory Mode
44-Series phones only
CPC-S/M Version 2.0 and higher
Description On the small-display phones, you can use the phone’s select keys (as well as other
keys) to scroll through a directory of existing System Speed Dial (SSD) names,
Personal Speed Dial (PSD) names, or extension names—and select one to dial. For
example, if you can’t remember the party’s extension number or speed-dial
number to which you want to transfer a call on hold, you can use Directory Mode
to find the number and execute the transfer.
Note: This feature applies to the 44-series small-display phone only (i.e., phones
with a 2-line LCD display).
Operation The select keys on the 44-series small-display phone are located next to the
display’s 2nd line. Pressing select key 1 (“>” on the left) or select key 2 (“<“ on
the right) will access the displayed directory.
To use Directory Mode:
1. Press the MODE key to turn Directory Mode on. The 2nd line of the
LCD will display “SSD” on the left and “PSD”on the right.
• Press the MODE key again to access the directory for extension
names. The 2nd line of the LCD will display “EXT” on the left.
2. Press the > select key to access the directory of existing SSD or EXT
names; or the < select key to access the PSD directory. The 2nd line will
show two speed-dial or extension names at a time (the first 7 characters of
each name), beginning with the A’s.
3. To scroll through the names (two at a time), press the # key. To
back-scroll, press the * key.
4. To jump to another letter in the directory, press the numeric key for it.
For example, press the “6” key to jump to the M’s, N’s, and O’s. The M’s
will appear first. Press “6” again to jump to the N’s, and again to jump to
the O’s. (Note: This doesn’t work for PSD names unless the system is a
DBS 824 CPC-M Version 2.0 or higher, which allows up to 40 PSDs.)
• For names beginning with Q or Z, use the 1 key.
5. When the correct speed-dial or extension name is displayed, you can
execute the dialing of its speed-dial or extension number by pressing
the select key that points to it (> if the name is displayed on the left; or
< if the name is on the right).
• Or , to exit the directory without selecting a number to dial, press the
END key or go on-hook.
