Philips D721 Telephone User Manual


 
2.5 Digit and character input, editing
The digit keys have a dual function. If the telephone expects you to enter a
telephone number, then the digits printed on the keys apply. When you
enter names in the telephone book, the keypad switches over automatically,
with the result that the letters/characters on the keys also apply. The let-
ters/characters printed on the keys are recalled by pressing the appropriate
key several times. To display the letter "C", for example, you must press the
key
2 thrice. If the next letter you wish to enter is on a key other than the
last one, the cursor automatically moves forward by one position. If it is on the
same key, you can either move the cursor one position to the right by pres-
sing the
# key or you can wait until it moves automatically after about 1.5
seconds.
For example, you must press the following keys to enter the name OTTO:
666 8 # 8 666
8MNO 8T 88T MNO
