22 Chapter 2 Introducing the i2004 Internet Telephone
NN10042-113
[Standard—Nortel Networks Confidential]
Entering alphanumeric characters
You can make a call by dialing a telephone number or by dialing a person’s
alphanumeric address (for example, jdoe@domain.com). Alphanumeric dialing
refers to the spelling of names or words by dialing alphabetic characters
co-located with the numbers on the numeric dialpad of your i2004 Internet
Telephone.
For example, the 6 button on your numeric dialpad represents the letters "m,""n,"
and "o". You can cycle through the letters (and finally the actual number) by
repeatedly pressing the number button. Names or words that have two adjacent
letters that require the same button, such as in the name "nortel", are entered by
entering the first character, briefly pausing, and entering the next letter.
To practice using alphanumeric dialing, follow the steps in Table 3 to spell the
word “nortel".

in alphanumeric dialing mode.
