Directory search
To browse through the directory
Press
^DIR to display the first listing in the direc-
tory. You can then use the V or ^ to browse
through the directory, or search to find a specific
entry. Entries will be displayed alphabetically by the
first letter in the name. Press OFF CLEAR at any
time to exit the directory.
To search by name
When any name entry is displayed in the directory,
you can press a dial pad key (2-9) to start a quick
name search. The directory will display the first
name beginning with the first letter associated with
a certain key (if there is such a name entry).
If you have more than one name entry that begins
with the same first letter, only by scrolling through
the entire first-letter entries then you can access
the name entries which start with the second letter
of the same key.
For example, if you have name entries “Jennifer”,
“Jessie”, “Kelvin” and “Linda” in your directory,
pressing the dial pad key 5 (JKL) once will show
“Jennifer”, twice “Jessie”, three times “Kelvin” and
four times “Linda”.
Viewing long numbers
The screen can display only 16 digits at a time. To
view numbers longer than this, press * or # to
display the remaining digits.

NOTES:
1. You can also display the first listing in the directory by first pressing SELECT MENU, then SELECT MENU to choose
DIRECTORY, and then SELECT MENU again to choose REVIEW.
2. Of the dial pad or quick search keys (2-9), each key is associated with three letters, please refer to page 23 for
details.
3. If there is no name entry matching the first letter of the key, the directory will display a name entry that matches
the second letter of the key.
4. Regarding the example, if you press 4 (GHI), as there is no name entry which matches those letters, the direc-
tory will show “Jennifer” because it is the name entry which matches the next available letter (J) in the directory.
