about external data source files.

2. Scroll down to Replace phone contacts with file.

applicable, the number of entries that exceed the 250 contact phone limit.

5. Press Save or OK to overwrite and replace your contacts list with the file on your USB

device or Cancel to cancel the replacement and retain your current contact list.

About this task

You can copy your entire contact list from your phone to a USB flash drive for protecting data or

using in an external software program. If the USB flash drive already contains a contact file, you

must first confirm that you want to replace that file.
