Searching and Dialing from the Phone Directory
Your phone might come configured with a searchable corporate or local phone
directory that allows you to easily find and dial phone numbers of colleagues.
Follow these steps to view or dial from a directory in your company.
Procedure
Step 1 Press the Directories button.
Step 2 Use the Navigation button to select the desired directory from the Directories
menu, then press the Select softkey.
Step 3 Enter search criteria to retrieve a record (see the “Entering Characters on Your
LCD Screen” section on page 1-12 for information on entering characters into
your phone.)
Step 4 To place a call from any directory, use the Navigation button to select the record,
then press the Dial softkey.

the number. For example, if the call was from an outside, long-distance

Then, press the Dial softkey.
Step 5 Press the Exit softkey twice to exit the Directory menu. Alternatively, you can
