Using Telephony Applications
April, 2011 | 1725-36720-001_RevB 25
If the name or number of the person you are trying to call displays on this list, highlight the cell by
scrolling to it and place the call by doing one of these:
• Press and hold the OK key.
• Press Start.
• Press the OK key to pop the highlighted number into the entry window, and then press Start.
If you are in an active call and placing a second or third call, the Autocomplete cells replace the other
session cells until the new call begins to ring.
Numeric Dialing
Phone numbers and URL addresses are limited to number characters.
Dialing to a URL
When you select URL dialing from the Entry Mode soft key, the prefix SIP is displayed at the start of the
number. Enter the IP address after this prefix. The address could be a number somewhere on the
Internet, or it could belong to one of your contacts, or it could be a recently received call. If the address
belongs to a contact, or the phone has recently received a call from the address, Autocomplete will filter
the cells so you can select it.
Dialing Contact Names and IM Names
The Entry Mode soft key allows you to enter letters, special characters, and supported language
characters that may be required for entering a name, an IM name, or an IM address. The name you
enter must match a name in the Contact Directory in order to begin dialing.
Opening the Dialer from the Home Screen
You have several ways to open the Dialer while working in the Home screen. You can press a number
key or the Start key, select a line key, or select an audio path. Use one of the following procedures.
Press a Digit Key (Predial)
Press a digit key (0-9) to start dialing, and the Dialer opens to display the number in the dial cell. This is
predialing. The call will be placed when you finish entering the numbers or select the Autocomplete cell
and press Start or OK. You can enable or disable Predial in the Settings menu. See On-Hook Dialing and
Appendix C: User Settings Menu.
Press the Start Key
Press the Start key to open the Dialer and listen for a dial tone. You can enter the number manually or
select the number from the Autocomplete list as you begin to dial.
