Phonebook tab functions

•Press the Import/Export button.

•Select Import Contacts and press the next button.

•Use the browse button to locate the comma separated text file saved in step one. Press next.

•The next screen displays how the fields from the comma separated text file will be mapped to the handset phonebook entries. There are two fields in the VTech phonebook: name and number. However, most PC contact managers separate names into the first and last name fields. To allow import of this type of file, the mapping dialog allows you to decide how the name fields from your import file will be placed in the VTech phonebook name field. For example, the following mappings will import the field’s first name and last name into the VTech name field. The home phone field will be imported into the VTech phone number field.

If the mapping displayed is not what is desired, select one of the rows and press the Change Map button to correct it. You can only use each of the three fields (VTech name first, VTech name last and VTech phone number) once. If you want to change one that has already been mapped, you must first select that row and use the Change Map button to remove the association.

•When finished editing the mapping, press the Finish button. The contacts will now be imported and merged into the currently loaded phonebook.

Exporting contacts to a comma separated text file

This feature allows you to export some or all of your VTech phonebook entries into a comma

separated text file. This comma separated text file can then be imported into a contact manager software such as Microsoft Outlook® or Palm® applications.

•Load a phonebook into the phonebook manager.

•If you wish to export only some of your contacts, select the desired contacts on the list of contacts loaded. You can use your mouse to select to a single row or hold down the CTRL key while using your mouse to click on the rows to be selected.

•Press the Import/Export button.
