Chapter 6: How to Use the Contact
Directory
You can access your Contact Directory from the Contacts/Call Lists icon on the Home screen. The
Contact Directory enables you to store a large number of contacts. By default, contacts are listed
alphabetically. You can use the Contact Directory to search, dial, add, edit, and delete specific contacts
in your directory. To view the Contact directory, navigate to the Contacts/Call Lists icon on the Home
screen and select Contact Directory.
You can add contacts manually, from the missed, received, and placed call lists, or from the IM History
list. You may also add contacts from the Corporate Directory. See Searching and Saving with the
Corporate Directory.
