Entering text using the IP Deskphone dialpad
For applications that offer text input, when you use the dialpad to enter text the
system activates the abc/123 context-sensitive soft key.
You can toggle between numeric and alphabetic input as follows:
• When the context-sensitive soft key label is abc, you can enter
alphabetic text.
• When the context-sensitive soft key label is 123, you can enter
numbers.
Figure 12: Context-sensitive soft key abc /123
For example, if you want to enter the lower case letter a, press the abc /
123 context-sensitive soft key to toggle to alphabetic input. Then press the
number 2 key once. If you want to enter the upper case letter C, press the number
2 key six times. You can cycle through the letters (and the numeral) by pressing
the number button repeatedly.
To create names or words that contain two adjacent letters that appear on the
same button, for example, the word press, you can do the following:
1. To enter the first character, press the dialpad key 6.
2. Pause briefly.
