Dialing Additional and Accented Characters
Though marked with just ABC, the 2 key will also match the accented forms of those characters, for example À, Á,
Á, Ã, Ä,Å and Ç . The set of additional unmarked characters matched varies depending on the language settings of
your system, see Entering C haracters
Alternate Search Methods
By default, the name matching is applied simultaneously all parts of the contact names, ie. the first, middle and last
parts of the displayed names. Your system administrator can change this to a more traditional search if required;
for example to match from just the start of the displayed names. However, this will apply to all phones on the
system.
