Looking up Contacts records in PhoneBook

When working with the Contacts view in PhoneBook, the buttons on your communicator make it
easy to navigate among your Contacts entries.

In the Contacts list screen, the scroll buttons move the highlight. Holding Shift

and

using the scroll buttons moves up or down an entire screen of records. If you press and hold
a scroll button, you accelerate the scrolling and display every third screen.

In the Contact View screen, the scroll buttons move to the previous or next Contacts record.

You can also use the Instant Lookup feature, from any of the PhoneBook views, to quickly scroll
to any of your Contacts entries.

To use Instant Lookup to find a Contacts record:

1. From the Speed Dial or Contacts views in PhoneBook, enter one of the following for the name

you want to find:

First name initial and last name

First name

Last name

For example, entering a “ca” displays “Chris Cadwell,” “David Cagle,” and “Carolyn Malestic”
as shown above. Entering “cmal” finds only “Carolyn Malestic.”

2. Use the scroll buttons to select the contact name.

3. Press Return

to view the contents of the record.
