you write another letter, the list scrolls to the first entry that 
starts with those two letters. For example, writing an “s” scrolls 
to “Sands,” and writing “sm” scrolls further to “Smith.” If you 
sort the list by company name, the Look Up feature scrolls to 
the first letter of the company name.
3. Tap the record to view its contents.
Using Find

Phone Lookup tips
Write the Graffiti Command stroke “/L” to activate the Phone Lookup 
feature. You can also activate it in the following circumstances:
nWhile entering text: For example, to insert the full name and phone 
number for someone with the last name “Williams,” write the 
Graffiti characters for “Wi” and then the Phone Lookup 
Command stroke “/L.” Assuming you have only one Address 
record 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 Lookup screen 
appears and highlights the first record that begins with “Wi.”
nFor selected text: Drag to highlight the text, and then write the Phone 
Lookup Command stroke “/L.” Your handheld replaces the 
selected text and adds the name and its associated information.
