Sakimoto.”

Phone Number Lookup tips
You can also enter the keyboard shortcut (/L) to activate the Phone Number Lookup feature in
the following circumstances:
■ While entering text: For example, if your Contacts entries are sorted by last name and you
want to insert the full name and phone number for someone with the last name “Williams,”
enter “Wi” and then the Phone Number Lookup keyboard shortcut (/L). Assuming you have
only one Contacts record with a last name that begins with “Wi,” your handheld inserts the full
name “Fred Williams” (and its associated information). If you have more than one name that
begins with “Wi,” the Phone Number Lookup screen appears and highlights the first record
that begins with “Wi.”
■ For selected text: Drag to highlight the text, and then enter the Phone Number Lookup
keyboard shortcut (/L). Your handheld replaces the selected text and adds the name and its
associated information.
