Placing A Call From The Directory - LifeSize Passport User Manual

Placing a Call from the Directory

The directory stores a list of names and numbers from which you can place calls. The
directory includes two subdirectories: the local and corporate directories. The corporate
directory is read only and managed by your administrator.
Entries in the local directory are stored on the system and can be modified, with the
exception of Skype entries, which are read only. When you are logged in to your Skype
account, your Skype contact list is automatically added to the local directory, and
automatically removed when you log out.
To place a call from the directory, follow these steps:
1. From the main screen, press the
directory.
2. Use the arrow keys to select either the Local (if available) or Corporate directory, and
press OK.
3. Use the arrow keys on the remote control to select the entry that you wish to dial.
You can browse the directory using either the alphabetical or hierarchical method. When
you use the alphabetical method, the entries appear in alphabetical order and you can
select an alphabet group in the Browse column to quickly navigate to an entry.
Hierarchies are predefined organizational units similar to folders or directories on a
computer system. You can place an entry into a hierarchy when you create the entry or
at any time by editing the Hierarchy field when editing the entry. For more information
about creating hierarchies, refer to "Managing the Directory" on page 26. Using the
hierarchical method, you can select a hierarchy in the Browse column to locate an
entry. To move down one level in Browse, press OK. To move up one level, press the
button. You can also use the
down a page of entries when an entry is selected.
4. Press OK on the remote control to place the call.
Note: If an entry in the local or corporate directory has more than one number, the
symbol appears in the NUMBERS column. Press OK and select the number you wish to
call. Press OK to place the call.
You can also add, remove, or edit entries in the directory. For more information, refer to
"Managing the Directory" on page 26.
