YOUR PHONE 4 CHAPTER • Last name (SMI for Smith) • First initial, a space, and then last initial (J S for John Smith) • A few letters of the first name, a space, and then a few letters of the last name (JOH SMI for John Smith) For example, entering SM finds both Smilla Anderson and John Smith. Entering SM AN finds only Smilla Anderson. 3 Each matching contact is displayed with a code for the type of number you last entered for that contact: "w" for work, "m" for mobile, and so on. Phone number codes TIP You can type letters from the last name first; for example, typing "S J" or "Smi Joh" also finds "John Smith." DID YOU KNOW? The search function offers several features that make it easy to find the contact you want, even if you are not sure of the exact name: 1) Search results include name variations, such as "David" for "Dave." 2) The search function inserts a space before the last letter typed if it cannot find a match. So if entering "Davidm" returns no results, the search function automatically tries to search for "David M." 3) Search results include soundalike entries, so entering "Dwayne" also returns results for "Duane." To delete letters when correcting a misspelled name, press Backspace . DID YOU KNOW? If you enter a letter-for example, "E"-that corresponds to a number key, both the number and any matching contact names appear on the screen. The onscreen numbers do not affect the process for dialling by contact name. If the name you want is displayed with the correct phone number code, highlight the name and press Phone/Send to dial the number. If you want to dial a different number for a displayed contact, select the contact name, select the number to dial, and then press Phone/Send .
