Entering Text from Your Phone

You can use the number keypad on your handset or base to enter text by referring to the letters printed on each number key. When you press the number key in a text entry field, the phone displays the first letter printed on the number key. Press the number key twice to display the second letter and three times to display the third. Capital letters are displayed first, then lower case letters, and then the number on the key.

If two letters in a row use the same number key, enter the first letter, then use [right] on the four-way function key to move the cursor to the next position to enter the second letter.

For example, to enter the word “Movies”:

) Press [6] once to enter M.

2) Use [right] on the four-way function key to move the cursor to the right.

3) Press [6] six times to enter o.

4) Press [8] six times to enter v. 5) Press [4] six times to enter i.

6) Press [3] five times to enter e.

7) Press [7] eight times to enter s.

If you make a mistake while entering a name, use [right] or [left] on the four-

way function key to move the cursor to the

incorrect character. Press [Clear/Int’com] on the handset or [Clear/Mute] on the base to erase the wrong character, and then enter the correct character. To delete all characters, press and hold [Clear/Int’com] on the handset or [Clear/Mute] on the base.
