Entering alphanumeric characters

You can make a call by dialing a telephone number or by dialing a person's
alphanumeric address (for example, jdoe2@domain.com). Alphanumeric dialing
refers to spelling names or words by dialing the alphabetic characters that are on
keys with the numbers on the numeric dialpad of your IP Phone 2002.
For example, the 6 button on your telephone dialpad represents the letters m, n,
and o. You can cycle through the letters (and then the number) by pressing the
number button repeatedly. Names or words that have two adjacent letters that
require the same button, such as in the name nortel, are entered by entering the
first character, briefly pausing, and entering the next letter.
