Nokia Phone Editor
7 Nokia Phone Editor
Nokia Phone Editor is a program that allows you to edit and manage various functions of your phone from the keyboard of your PC. Phone Editor consists of the following components:
•Contacts - used to manage phone book entries. Also used to store contact information on your PC
•Profiles - used to edit profile and caller group settings from your PC
•Settings - used to view and modify various system and message settings. Also used to store configure your personal business card information
•BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Make sure you establish a connection between your phone and PC before using Phone Editor. If your phone is not connected to your PC, you cannot edit and manage your phone’s information and settings.
Important: Phone Editor cannot be used during active digital data or fax calls (and vice versa). Do not try to use these two features simultaneously.
• PHONE MEMORY AND PC STORAGE LOCATIONS
Phone Editor uses your phone’s memory and your PC (RAM memory and hard drive storage) to store your phone’s data and settings: | 7 |
Each time you launch Phone Editor, phone numbers, text messages and various phone settings are read into Phone Editor’s memory. When you terminate the PC connection or exit the program, your phone’s information is stored on your PC. The next time you use Phone Editor, the information stored on your PC is updated.
• CHOOSE THE RIGHT APPLICATION FOR MANAGING CONTACTS
If you don’t already use a PIM application like Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Organizer, Nokia Phone Editor’s Contacts application is the perfect choice for editing and managing your contacts. Phone Editor creates a direct connection to you phone’s memory and allows you to add or modify your phone book quickly and easily.
Nokia Phone Editor limitations
Nokia Phone Editor can only manage contacts with one number per name. However, your phone’s memory is capable of storing multiple phone numbers and text fields
You cannot use Phone Editor to create or manage phone book entries with multiple names per number. Nor can you create or add text fields to any contacts you create in Phone Editor.
Note: When more than one number per name exists, Phone Editor displays the Mobile or General number you stored. For more information on number types and assigning or modifying number types, please see your phone’s user guide.
Use Nokia PC Sync
If you have multiple numbers and/or text fields per phone book entry you can still manage your phone book from your PC. This can be done easily by using a PIM application, along with Nokia PC Sync. For more information about Nokia PC Suite, please see page 13.
