Managing the telephone directory

Selecting entries from the telephone directory

If you want to dial a number from the telephone directory (➔ page 47) or else change (➔ page 37) or delete

(➔ page 40) a stored user, you must first select the re- quired entry from the telephone directory.

The letters and special characters printed on the digit keys in the dialling keypad are used for making this selection. The input method, however, differs from normal name en- try.

The following overview explains the input method.

	the key.

The entry "Smith" is thus selected with the digit sequence 7 - 6 - 4 - 8 - 4. The permissible selection is limited to 6 positions. This means that in names containing more than six characters, only the first six positions can be entered. The remaining characters cannot be selected.

This selection method generally produces the required entry after two or three keystrokes. Additional keystrokes are possible (up to 6).
