Using the phonebook manager software, edit the phonebook entries as you wish. At this time you can also add new entries or import contacts from other programs such as Microsoft Outlook or Palm, etc.

When you are finished editing the phonebook, save it to your PC’s hard drive by pressing

the SAVE PHONEBOOK button. To transfer the newly edited phonebook to your

handset, use the Transfer Phonebook button.

Import Contacts Into Phonebook Manager From Other PC Applications

Use this feature to import contacts from a comma separated text file into the VTech phonebook manager software. The contacts will be merged into the currently loaded phonebook.

1.Create a comma separated text file containing the contacts you want to import into your handset. This is accomplished by using the export function from your other contact management application (such as Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express or Palm applications). The export function in these programs is normally located under the file menu. Be sure to specify the export file as a text file or comma separated file (CSV). An example of exporting

contacts from Microsoft Outlook is as follows:

a.Start Microsoft Outlook on your PC.

b.Select import/export from the file menu.

c.Select export to file and press next.

d.Select a file type of comma separated values (in Windows).

e.Select the folder containing the contacts you want to export.

f.Once you’ve selected a contact folder, press next.

g.Enter a file name to save your contacts to. This will be the file you select to import into the phonebook manager program. Be sure to make note of where on your PC you save the file for later reference.

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.
