Phonebook Tab Functions

2.Start the VTech phonebook manager program on your PC. Load the newly created phonebook into the phonebook manager software using these steps:

•Press the Transfer button.

•Press the CREATE PHONEBOOK button. This will create an empty phonebook.

•Press the OPEN PHONEBOOK button to load the previously saved phonebook from your PC’s hard drive.

NOTE: For first time users, try the import operation on an empty phonebook until you have mastered the process.

•Press the Import/Export button.

•Select Import Contacts and press the next button.

•Use the browse button to locate the comma separated text file you 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 instruct 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 fields 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 you are done 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 common contact manager software such as Microsoft Outlook or Palm applications.

•Press the Import/Export button.

•Select Export Contacts and press the next button.

•Select whether you want to Export All Contacts or Selected Contacts.
