#### Example of Text Entry Using AIM:

The user wants to look up a person named “Oscar” in a Directory database. The user presses a Directory softkey on the Home page that initiates the AIM application. Figure 23 shows a sample starting page. The user presses the 6MNO Dialpad button because it contains the first letter of the name to be found. In most cases, AIM avoids the user having to enter the entire first and/or last name. AIM also avoids multiple key presses to select letters, for example, pressing 6 four times to select the letter O.

The user then presses the dialpad number key that corresponds to the second letter in the name once, etc. There is no need to press a number key multiple times to select a letter. Figures 23 through 26 illustrate locating the name “Oscar” in the directory.

Figure 24: User presses “6” one time for “O” and the closest match to “O” displays.

Figure 25: User presses “7” one time for “S,” narrowing the search.

Figure 26: User presses “2” one time for “C” and the search result displays the desired result - Oscar Hillard.
