Loading and deleting 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 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 cur-
rent directory from the handset first.
u
Tip: Back up the current directory on your PC before deleting it. You can then load it back
onto the handset if the modified directory is affected by formatting errors and some, or
all, of it cannot be loaded onto the handset.
Preconditions:
u
The handset can send and receive directory entries.
u
The handset is activated and is in idle status.

entries to a Microsoft Outlook™ address book, please note the following:
Microsoft Outlook™ only ever transfers the first (directory) entry from the vcf file to its address
book.
