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 11: 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.
3. To enter the next letter, press the dialpad key 6 twice to cycle to the letter r.
When entering alphanumeric information, the 1 key on the dialpad represents the characters
in the table below. To enter a special character, press the dialpad number 1 to cycle through
the characters until you reach the one you need. For example, to enter a question mark (?),
press the number 1 key eight times.
