Warning!
When upgrading a phone to Release 4.0.0, all Local Directory entries will be migrated accordingly. However, if down-

grading at any time in the future and would like to retain your Local Directory information, it is recommeded to save your
Local Directory entries before any upgrade or downgrade by using the phone's Web UI under the Operation > Directory
menu See "Downloading the Directory to Your PC"
From the Local Directory menu, you can search for a contact, place a call to the selected contact, add new contacts to the
Local Directory, delete all contacts, delete individual contacts, or edit existing contacts.
