Adding a new contact

About this task
You can add up to three numbers to a contact. You can add up to six distinct numbers to a
contact. For a work extension, selecting Track Presence allows you to track the contact's
presence, for example, Available, Busy, Away, Do Not Disturb, Out of Office or Offline. You need to
create a new contact to track presence if the work extension of the contact is changed.
Procedure
1. Do one of the following:
• If this is your first Contacts list entry, press Contacts > New.
• If you already have entries in your Contacts list, press Contacts > More > New.
2. Enter the first and last name using the dial pad.
• Press the number key that corresponds to the letter or number you want to enter until
the letter or number is displayed.
• If the characters are on the same key, pause before entering the next character.
• To enter a space, press 0.
• Enter remaining letters or numbers.
• To delete the last character, press the Bksp softkey.
Note:
If you want to remove a letter, number, space, or symbol that is in the middle of the
text you entered, use the left and right navigation arrows to place your cursor after
the character you want to remove. Once your cursor is in the correct position, press
the Bksp softkey to remove the character to the left of the cursor.
3. Choose Yes in the Track Presence field to know the presence information for this contact.
If the presence information is available for this person, the phone displays the presence
icon next to this name of the contact on the Phone screen or the Contact screen.
4. In the Number field, enter the extension number.
The contact number can include a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and the following special symbols: comma
(,), space, dash (-), dot (.), + , * , #, $, &, !, ~, ?, +, =, |. A comma (,) inserts a pause during
dialing.
5. Press More > Primary if applicable.
The primary number is the one that will always display without having to go into contact
details.

When adding a contact number, you must use your enterprise phone number as the
Primary number as this number is utilized for presence indication.
