Basic Operation
• Press the Import/Export button.
• Select Import Contacts and press the next button.
• Use the browse button to locate the comma separated text le you 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 instruct 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 elds 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 you are done 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 File
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 common contact
manager software such as Microsoft Outlook or Palm applications.
• Load a phonebook into the phonebook manager.
• If you wish to only export some of your contacts, select the desired contacts in the list of
contacts loaded. You can use your mouse to select to a single row. If you want to select
multiple rows, hold down the CTRL key while using your mouse to click on the rows to be
selected.
• Press the Import/Export button.
• Select Export Contacts and press the next button.
• Select whether you want to Export All Contacts or Selected Contacts.
• Enter the name of the le to export the contacts to. You can use the browse button to locate
the folder and enter a le name.
• Press the Finish button to complete the export operation.
Deleting Phonebook Records From the Currently Loaded Phonebook
• Start the phonebook manager software on your PC.
• Press the Phonebook tab.

to select a single row. If you want to select multiple rows, hold down the CTRL key while
using your mouse to click on the rows to be selected.
