Synchronizing Phonebook Entries
The following phonebook fields are synchronized depending upon the server capabilities:
Name
Home phone
Work phone
Mobile phone
Fax
Email 1 and 2 (depending on server capability)
Info 1 and 2 (depending on server capability)
The following limitations apply to phonebook synchronization:
The 515 wireless phone truncates or shortens an entry to the allowed number of characters if it exceeds the length supported in the phonebook. The Name field allows 30 characters for the name and the Number field allows 40 characters for the phone number.
The 515 wireless phone does not have any checking for Email addresses. Any alphanumeric string may be entered as an Email address. The wireless phone uses “;” as a delimiter and truncates the Email address if it exceeds the length allowed in the phonebook.
Only the entries from the “Phone” phonebook are synchronized. The entries stored in the SIM phonebook are not synchronized.
Alphanumeric phone numbers are converted to numeric equivalent when synchronized to the wireless phone. For example,
By default, a name entered in the phone is treated as the last name only. If you enter a comma (,) within the name, the word before the comma is treated as the last name and the word after the comma is treated as the first name. During synchronization, an entry of “Doe, John” treats “Doe” as the last name and “John” as the first name. An entry of “John Doe” without a comma treats “John” as the last name and “Doe” as the first name.
Contacts with only a first name display on the 515 wireless phone with a space (masking the comma character) followed by the first name. These entries are not sorted alphabetically and appear at the end of the phonebook list.
Since the synchronization software allows more fields for the name such as middle name, last name, first name, prefix (Mr., Mrs., Ms, etc), suffix (Senior, Junior, III, etc), the wireless phone preserves the format by adding “;” as required. You may see some entries in the format: Last Name, First Name; Middle Name; Prefix; Suffix.
Synchronizing Scheduler
The following Scheduler fields are synchronized:
Event date/time
Description
Reminder
Private/Public
The time zone setting in the server and the wireless phone should be the same. Otherwise, the event times will be different in the server.
The following limitations apply to Scheduler events:
Simple repeated events (which the 515 wireless phone supports) can be synchronized. Any complex repeated event is treated as one time event unless the server creates multiple entries (fanning) for repeated events treating them as one time entry. The first day/date of occurrence is the start date/time of the event.
