Searching and Dialing from the Phone Directory
Searching and Dialing from the Phone Directory
Your phone may come configured with a corporate or local phone directory. This
directory is searchable and allows you to find and dial phone numbers of
colleagues easily.
Follow these steps to view or dial from a directory in your company.
Procedure
Step 1 Press the Directories button.
Step 2 Use the Navigation button to select the desired directory from the Directories
menu, then press the Select softkey.
Step 3 Enter search criteria to retrieve a record (see the “Navigating on Your Phone”
section on page 1-11 for information on entering characters into your phone.)
Step 4 To place a call from any directory, use the Navigation button to select the record,
then press the Dial softkey.
Note You might need to use the EditDial softkey to add digits to the front of
the number. For example, if the call was from an outside, long-distance
caller, you might need to add the digits 9-1 to the front of the number.
Then, press the Dial softkey.
Step 5 Press the Exit softkey twice to exit the Directory menu.
