Phonebook tab functions
The VTech Phonebook Manager can be used to create, modify and backup phonebook les from
your handset. The phonebook manager has many useful functions:

, Palm

a comma separated text le. Import those contacts into the phonebook manager and transfer the
entire phonebook to your handset.
