Press the Import/Export button.
Select
Import Contacts and press the next button.
Use the browse button to locate the comma separated text le saved in step one. Press
next.
The next screen displays how the elds from the comma separated text le will be mapped to the
handset phonebook entries. There are two elds in the VTech phonebook: name and number.
However, most PC contact managers separate names into the rst and last name elds. To allow
import of this type of le, the mapping dialog allows you to decide how the name elds from your
import le will be placed in the VTech phonebook name eld. For example, the following mappings
will import the eld’s rst name and last name into the VTech name eld. The home phone eld
will be imported into the VTech phone number eld.
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 elds (VTech name rst, VTech name last
and VTech phone number) once. If you want to change one that has already been mapped, you must
rst select that row and use the Change Map button to remove the association.
When nished 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 le
This feature allows you to export some or all of your VTech phonebook entries into a comma
separated text le. This comma separated text le can then be imported into a contact manager
software such as Microsoft Outlook
®
or Palm
®
applications.
Load a phonebook into the phonebook manager.
If you wish to export only some of your contacts, select the desired contacts on the list of contacts
loaded. You can use your mouse to select to a single row or hold down the CTRL key while using
your mouse to click on the rows to be selected.
Press the
