CALL LOG

Call logs are helpful for

• Outgoing Calls
• Incoming Answered Calls
• Missed (unanswered) Calls.

The Missed Call Log displays automatically whenever you access the Call Log application, but you can quickly access a different log if desired.

Each log has a main screen, which lists the calls in chronological order from newest to oldest, and a detail screen. The main screens provide

• The name and number of the calling or called party, if available.
• A time (for the current date) or date (for calls prior to the current date).

The details screen

• Displays all this information in a wider format.
• Reminds you of what type of call was placed.
• Allows you to take certain actions with that entry.

Each Call Log can contain a maximum of 30 entries. When a log contains more than six entries, Page Right and Page Left buttons help you scroll through the log six entries at a time. Calls are listed in order from top to bottom, the most recent call first.

SPEED DIAL SCREEN DATA ENTRY

Review this section if you are unfamiliar with entering data using a telephone dialpad or using softkeys for editing functions.

Enter characters using the dialpad
Use the dialpad keys 0 through 9, * and # to enter characters in a name or number field. Each dialpad key is associated with three different alphabetic characters for entering text, as well as the assigned number displayed on the key.

To select a field, press the Line/Feature button on either side of the field to which you want to move.

When entering text, the first press of a dialpad key displays the first alphabetic character associated with that key. The character appears in upper case to the right of the current cursor position, and the cursor does not move.

A subsequent press of the same key displays either the next alphabetic character associated with that key (still in upper case) or the number assigned to that key, if all associated alphabetic characters have been displayed.

For example, pressing the 2 on your dialpad displays the letter A. Pressing the 2 key again replaces the A with a B, pressing it again replaces the B with a C. Pressing it a fourth time replaces the C with a 2. Pressing it again redisplays the letter A, and so on.

Upper case letters can be made to appear in lower case by selecting the Case option in the lower left of the display screen.

Pressing a different key moves the cursor one position to the right, displaying the first alphabetic character associated with that key.

Repeat this key press/entry process to enter the rest of the party’s name. You can also use the Left Arrow and Right Arrow softkeys to move the cursor to the left or right.

When entering a telephone number in the Number field, your 4620 IP telephone recognizes a key press as a number (or typographic character such as * or #) and automatically moves the cursor to the right.

NOTE:
You can enter text while on a call, but you automatically exit the text entry mode if you go off-hook, either by the headset/handset or by a fixed button like Transfer. You also exit text entry mode if you cause another screen to display, such as by pressing Save or Cancel, or pressing the button.

Edit during or after entry
Editing commands display below the Number field, next to certain Line/Feature buttons. The commands and their actions are:

• Apostrophe - Insert an apostrophe at the cursor position.
• Backspace - Delete the character to the immediate left of the cursor.
• Case - Change the character to the right of the cursor from lower to upper case or vice versa, depending upon its original case. Note that when entering a name, the first character entered is initially displayed in upper case.
• Clear - Remove all characters from the field in which the cursor currently resides.
• Comma - Insert a comma at the cursor position. In a Number field, a comma creates a short pause when the telephone automatically dials that number.
• Hyphen - Insert a hyphen at the cursor position.
• Space - Insert a blank space at the cursor position.

NOTE:
Some of the editing commands, such as Case, appear only when there is data in the field in which the cursor is positioned. Pressing one of these buttons causes the respective action to be taken at the current cursor position. For example, in entering the name “D’Aleo,” pressing the Line/Feature button labeled Apostrophe after entering the letter “D” inserts an apostrophe following that letter.

Name entry example
To add a Speed Dial button for Tom Brown, you would typically press the following dialpad number button/Right Arrow softkey in this sequence:

8 (T)
666 (o)
Right Arrow softkey to move the cursor one space to the right
6 (m)
22 (b)
777 (r)
666 (o)
9 (w)
66 (n)

After entering this sequence, the display shows: Tombrown. By incorporating the editing Line/Feature buttons during entry, your actual key press sequence should be:

8 (T)
666 (o)
Right Arrow softkey to move the cursor one space to the right
6 (m)
Line/Feature Button 12 (Space)
22 (b)
Line/Feature Button 5 (Case changes the B from lower to upper case)
777 (r)
666 (o)
9 (w)
66 (n)
