10.4.1 Basic Terminal Buttons

Numerical Keypad Buttons

The 2N® StarPoint numerical keypad is used for dialling numbers, typing text messages and entering contacts into the telephone directory. Therefore, multiple characters are assigned to each key. Press a key repeatedly to proceed to the next character. The table below gives a clear overview.

Dialling numbers – you cannot switch the terminal into the editing mode while dialling since it is useless. If you need special characters, press * and #.

Editing text messages – you need the most comprehensive set of characters to edit text messages. The Abc editing mode is enabled by default and you can change it any time by pressing #.

Entering contacts – the editing (Abc) and numerical (123) modes are enabled automatically depending on whether you are entering a contact name or a contact number. Press # to switch the mode any time.

Menu Browsing

Use the ,  and  buttons to browse through the menu. The former two ones are used for browsing through menu items and often for selecting a level. They can also move the cursor through the text during editing text messages and other items. The last-named button is designed exclusively for confirmation of selections and settings.
