Using the Directory
You can use the Directory to find internal or external contacts or find and activate system
features. The directory uses Intelligent Directory Search (IDS), which is similar to the “text on 9
keys” (T9) predictive search feature used for mobile phones. The Directory has the following
three subdirectories:
• Intercom: Find and dial internal numbers.
• Outside: Find and dial external numbers listed in the company directory.
• Feature: Find and activate system features.
When searching the directory, dialpad buttons can represent several characters, as shown in
the following table. As you enter characters, the entries that best match the characters entered
appear. The system connects the character sequence to possible directory matches. For
example, to find the name “Jones,” dial 56637.
See the following section on using the directory.
To search for a directory name or feature:
1. Press (Directory), and then press one of the following:
• 1 for the IC directory.
• 2 for the Outside directory.
• 3 for the Feature directory.
2. Press the dialpad buttons to enter (up to 20) characters. See the table on page 26 for
dialpad button character descriptions.
3. Press (Up) or (Down) to scroll through the entries.
4. Press # while the display shows the entry to dial a number or activate a feature code.

The IC directory may display two similar entries, one without an asterisk
and one with an asterisk. The entry without an asterisk is the primary
extension—the entry with an asterisk is a secondary extension.
