Deleting handset directories and downloading to/from the PC
You will find the functions for editing the telephone/address books (both referred
to as "directories" hereafter) on the website:

Settings Directories
The Web configurator has the following options for editing the directories of the
registered handsets.
u
Store the directories on a PC. Entries are stored in vCard format in a vcf file on the
PC. You can download these files onto every registered handset. You can also
copy directory entries to your PC address book.
u
Copy contact details from your PC address book to handset directories. Export
the contacts in vcf files (vCards) and transfer them to directories for the handsets
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 load this
modified directory to the handset, you can delete the current directory on the
handset before the transfer.
Tip: Back up the current directory on your PC before deleting it. You can then
reload it if the modified directory is affected by formatting errors and some, or
all, of it cannot be loaded onto the handset.
Please note
u
You can find information on vCard format (vcf ) on the Internet, e.g., at:
www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard (English) or
www.de.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard (German)
(You can set the display language at the bottom left-hand side in the navi-
gation area of the Web page.)
u
If you wish to copy a directory (vcf file) with multiple entries stored on the PC
to the Microsoft Outlook™ directory, please proceed as follows:
Microsoft Outlook™ only ever transfers the first (directory) entry from the vcf
file to its address book.
Transfer rules
The directory entries from a vcf file that are loaded onto the handset will be added
to the directory. If an entry already exists for a name, it will either be supplemented
or a new entry for the name will be created. The process will not overwrite or delete
any phone numbers.
Please note
Depending on your device type, up to three entries with the same name are cre-
ated in the directory for each vCard – one entry per entered number.
