Entering Text Using The Ip Deskphone Dialpad - Avaya 1120E User Manual

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 soft key label is abc, you can enter alphabetic text.
• When the soft key label is 123, you can enter numbers.
For example, if you want to enter the lower case letter a, press the abc/123 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 prime, 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
following table. 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.
