3. Choose the desired name from the selected Dex, using one of two methods.
Either:
(a.) Scroll — Press the scroll keys (

and

) to look up and down through the Dex until you find
the name (names will appear in the order in which they were stored in the Dex).
. . . Or . . .
(b.) Dial-by-name — Dial up to the first three characters
1
of the extension, department, or guest
mailbox name. For example: if you want to call John Doe, dial 5 6 4 (because it spells J O H).
You’ll begin to see names that begin with those letters. You can then use the scroll keys (

and

) until you find the desired name and number.
4. Press DIAL to place the call.
Adding names to your Personal Dex
You can add names to your Personal Dex by using either the Caller ID method or the manual method. The
Caller ID method is the same regardless of whether you’re using a ESI phone with a two-line display or an
ESI phone with a three-line display; however, the manual method is used differently on each phone model.
Caller ID method (on an ESI phone with a two- or three-line display)
Whenever a Caller ID name appears on your LCD display (while talking on an incoming call or during
message retrieval) press ESI-DEX to automatically store the name and number in your Personal Dex. The
display confirms:
Manual method (on an ESI phone with a two-line display)
While your station is idle, press ESI-DEX until prompted to “ADD-A-NAME” . . .
. . . and then enter the name and the number as prompted.
Note: If needed, press PROG/HELP for assistance.
1. To enter each character for the name, press the dialpad key that includes the desired character.
The key’s possible character entries will change each time you press the key.
2. When the desired character appears, press # to confirm its entry. The cursor will move to the next
character position. Use

and  (the scroll keys) to back up or to insert a space.
Example: To enter a B, press 2 twice (the possible options through which to scroll are A, B, C and 2).
When B appears, press # to confirm and move to the next entry.
3. Repeat steps 1–2 until the name is complete. The name may contain up to 12 characters (a space
is a character, too).

You can also dial just one or two characters, and then press # to enter.
