Edit a Phonebook
You can either open an existing phonebook stored in your PC’s hard drive by pressing the
OPEN PHONEBOOK button using the phonebook manager software, or by
transferring the phonebook from your handset by transferring it to the phonebook manager
software using the supplied USB cable. To accomplish this:
• Connect your handset to your PC using the USB cable.
• Start the phonebook manager application on your PC.
• Verify the connection by insuring the green icon on the status bar. (If it is not, re-connect
the handset to the PC with the USB cable.)
• Press the Phonebook tab.
• Press the Transfer button.
• 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 applica-
tions). 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.
