Dialing Conventions
It is important that you observe the following conventions as you enter speed
dial numbers:
•
You can enter telephone numbers up to 20 characters long, including
special characters and spaces.
•
You must include the code required to access an outside line (for example,
“9”) for external telephone numbers.
•
You can use the Pause softkey to insert a 1.5-second pause. It is often
useful to include a pause (or series of pauses) in beeper/pager numbers
to allow a paging system enough time to answer.
•
You can use the Hyphen softkey to insert hyphens between segments of
a telephone number (for example, “9-732-555-1212”). The hyphen may
make the number easier for you to read but does not affect dialing.
You can store up to 104 personal speed dial entries in the 2420 telephone.
When the maximum number of entries is stored, you must delete existing
entries before the 2420 telephone allows you to enter new ones.
To add speed dial entries to your personal directory
1. From the Home screen, press the SpDial softkey.
The Speed Dial screen is displayed (or, if no Speed Dial List already
exists, the Empty Speed Dial List screen is displayed).
2. Press the Add softkey.
The Edit Name screen is displayed with the Name field underscored.
Note: If the directory is full, a message is displayed indicating that your
Speed Dial list is full. You must delete an existing entry before a
new entry can be added. See “Deleting Speed Dial Entries” on
page 20.
3. Using the dialpad, enter the name for your speed dial entry. You can
enter up to 13 characters. By default, the first letter you enter appears
in uppercase, and the following characters appear in lowercase.
Note: You can use the Case softkey to enter an uppercase letter.
When you press the Case softkey again, it returns to lowercase.
You can use the Space softkey to insert a space between first
and last names. If you are entering special characters, you can
used the * (star key) to cycle through the period and star
characters. You can use the # (pound key) to cycle through the
hyphen and pound characters.
4. When you are done entering a name, press the feature button to the
left of the Number field (Edit Number screen) to advance to that field.
5. Using the dialpad, enter the telephone number for this speed dial entry.
You can enter numbers up to 20 characters long, including special
characters and spaces.
