Using your IP Phone 1140E

Entering text

You can enter and edit text on your IP Phone 1140E using the following methods:
“Entering text using the telephone dialpad” on page 44
“Entering text using the USB keyboard” on page 49
You can make a call by dialing a telephone number (Directory Num ber) or by dialing a person’s alphanumeric SIP address (for example, jdoe2@domain.com).
Attention: Some service providers only support the use of a Directory Number (DN) such as 555-5555 to initiate a call to another phone. Contact your system administrator or service provider to determine if alphanumeric dialing is supported.
Alphanumeric dialing refers to the spelling of names or words by dialing alphabetic characters which are located with the numbe rs on the numeric dialpad of your IP Phone 1140E. You can use an Alphanumeric entry when entering Instant Messages (IMs), SIP addresses, and entries to such things as your Address Book and feature key labels.

Entering text using the telephone dialpad

When you can use the dialpad to enter text, the abc/123 Context­sensitive soft key becomes available for applications that offer text input. The abc/123 Context-sensitive soft key toggles between alphabetic and numeric input. When the Context-sensitive soft key label is abc, you can enter alphabetic text and when the Context-sensitive soft key label is 123, you can enter numbers.
44
Using your IP Phone 1140E
Figure 11: Context-sensitive soft key abc/123
For example, if you want to enter the letter a, press the abc/123 Context­sensitive soft key to switch to alphabetic input, and then press the number
2 key once. If you want to enter the upper case letter C, press the numbe r 2 key six times. Y ou can cycle through the letters (and the actual number)
by repeatedly pressing the number button. Names or words, which have two adjacent letters, that require the same
button, such as in the word press, are entered by entering the first character, briefly pausing, and then entering the next letter. Press the dialpad key 6 for the p pause a moment and then press it again twice to cycle to the letter r.
When entering alphanumeric information, the 1 key on the dialpad represents the characters in Table 1. To enter a special character, press the dialpad number 1 to cycle through the characters until you reach the one you need. For example to enter a question mark (?), press the number 1 key eight times.
