• The next screen displays how the fields from the comma separated text file will be mapped to the
handset phonebook entries. There are two fields in the VTech phonebook: name and number.
However, most PC contact managers separate names into the first and last name fields. To allow
import of this type of file, the mapping dialog allows you to decide how the name fields from your
import file will be placed in the VTech phonebook name field. For example, the following mappings
will import the field’s first name and last name into the VTech name field. The home phone field
will be imported into the VTech phone number field.
If the mappng dsplayed s not what s desred, select one of the rows and press the Change Map
button to correct it. You can only use each of the three fields (VTech name first, VTech name last
and VTech phone number) once. If you want to change one that has already been mapped, you must
first select that row and use the Change Map button to remove the assocaton.
• When finished editing the mapping, press the Finish button. The contacts wll now be mported
and merged nto the currently loaded phonebook.
