Adding a new contact
You can add up to six numbers for a contact. Selecting "handle" as a type allows you to track the
contact's telephone presence, for example, not logged in, logged in, in use, or sending all calls
to another number.
1. Press Contacts.
2. Press New.
3. Enter the first and last name using the dialpad.
a. Press the number key that corresponds to the letter or number you want to enter
until the letter or number is displayed.
b. Pause before entering the next character if the characters are on the same key.
c. To enter a space, press 0.
d. Enter remaining letters or numbers.
e. Press Bksp to delete the last character.
Note:
If you want to remove a letter, number, space, or symbol that is in the middle of
the text you entered, use the left and right navigation arrows to place your
cursor after the character you want to remove. Once your cursor is in the
correct position, press Bksp to remove the character to the left of the cursor.
4. Select the next field.
5. Enter the telephone number and press Primary if applicable.
The primary number is the one that will always display without having to go into
contact details.
6. Select the next field.
7. Select the type of number entered (work, mobile, home, handle).
If you select handle, provide a value that represents the extension number, an "at" @
symbol, and the company name, for example, 21234@avaya.com. You can then
determine the contact's presence based on handle icons that appear next to this
person's name/number.
8. If you have another number for this contact, scroll down and repeat Steps 5 - 7.
You can add up to five additional numbers for this contact, but you can designate
only one number as primary.
9. Press Save or OK.
