Selecting names
It is possible to search the list of contacts in two different ways.
The quickest method is to type the first few letters of the name using the
n
umeric keys. These behave in a similar way to predictive text on a mobile
t
elephone.
The search tries to match the first part of each name so that you can
search using the first name or the surname.
Suppose you wished to search for Charles Jones. The predictive text
letters for Charles relate to the numbers 2 then 4. The screen highlights
any possible matches by underlining the matching part of the name as in
the example below.
It would also be possible to search on the surname by pressing 5 and then
6 for “JO”
In this case there are three possible matches. Pressing another number to
match the third letter immediately reduces the list to the single match.
If you type the wrong number and there are no matches then press the
Cancel button to reduce the length of the search string.
It is also possible to enter a separate screen to allow a text string to be
entered. This is done using the
Search soft key from the contacts list. A
new screen is displayed where text can be entered using the standard text
entry method used on most mobile telephones.
Press the Apply soft key to use the search string. The cancel key can be
used to delete letters from the search string.
