Phonebook tab functions
Import contacts into phonebook manager from other PC applications
Use this feature to import contacts from a comma separated text le into the VTech phonebook
manager software. The contacts will be merged into the currently loaded phonebook.
1.
Create a comma separated text le containing the contacts for importing 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 le menu. Be sure to specify the export le as a text le or comma
separated le (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 le menu.
c. Select
export to le and press next.
d. Select a le type of comma separated values (in Windows).
e. Select the folder containing the contacts for export.
f. Once a contact folder has been selected, press
next.
g. Enter a le name to save as a contact. This will be the le importing into the phonebook manager program.
Be sure to make note of where on your PC you save the le 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 to create an empty phonebook.
Press the
OPEN PHONEBOOK button to load the previously saved phonebook
from your PC’s hard drive.
For rst time
