Entering an address
To make a call you can dial a number (numeric address such as, 555-1212) or an
alphanumeric SIP address (jdoe@domain.com).
To enter an address using the dialpad
1 Dial the number using the dialpad. When dialing, the left navigation button
acts as a backspace button.
2 When you finish dialing the number, the phone automatically places the call if
nothing has been entered for a short time. You can expedite the dialing by
pressing the Send softkey.
To enter an address using alphanumeric dialing
1 Once off-hook, press the Alpha softkey to begin dialing.
2 After entering the name or word, press the Send softkey, or wait for the phone
to place the call.
Adding subjects to a call
You can send a line of text to the person you are calling to let them know why you
are calling. The subject text will appear on the display of the person you are
calling. This procedure assumes that a list of call subjects has already been
defined. For information on how to create or change subject text see “Adding call
subjects” on page 53.
To add a (pre-defined) subject to an outgoing call
1 While making a call, press the Subject softkey and use the navigation buttons
to highlight the desired subject.
Note: For more information about alphanumeric dialing see “Entering
alphanumeric characters” on page 22 and “Setting preferences” on
page 28. If the NoAlph softkey appears on your display then
alphanumeric dialing is already enabled.
