Entering Characters for a Directory Search
When searching the directory, the matching names are shown as follows:
• Pressing a key matches all the characters represented by that key: For example, see How
the Directory Search Works on page 87
- Dialing 5 matches all names starting with J, K and L. Note that the matching is applied to
each part of the name.
- Pressing another key
adds the characters from that key. For example: now dialing 2
simultaneously matches all names starting with JA and with KA plus various others.
- Pressing another key adds the characters from that key. For example: now dialing 7
simultaneously matches all names starting with JAS (for example "Jason") and with KAR
(for example "Karl") plus others.
• To remove all the characters entered so far, press Clear.

Dialing Additional and Accented Characters
The keys on the telephone number pad can be used to enter characters other than those marked
on the button.
For example, though marked with just ABC, the 2 key also matches the accented forms of those
characters, for example À, Á, Á, Ã, Ä, Å and Ç. The set of additional unmarked characters
matched varies depending on the language settings of your system.
