Transferring handset directories to/from the PC

The Web configurator has the following options for editing the directories of the
registered handsets.
u
Store the handset directories on a PC. Entries are stored in vCard format in a vcf
file on the PC. You can edit these files with an ASCII editor (e.g. Notepad/Editor
in Windows Accessories) and load them onto any registered handset. You can
also transfer directory entries to your PC address book (e.g. Outlook Express™
address book).
u
Transfer contact details from your PC address book to handset directories.
Export the contacts, e.g. with Outlook Express ™ to vcf files (vCards) and transfer
them to handset directories using the Web configurator.
u
Delete the directory on the handset. If you have edited the directory file (vcf file)
on the PC and would like to use this modified directory on the handset, you can
delete the current directory from the handset first.
Tip: Back up the current directory on your PC before deleting it. You can then
reload it onto the handset if the modified directory is affected by formatting
errors and some, or all, of it cannot be loaded onto the handset.
