Looking up Contacts records

When working with Contacts, the buttons on your handheld make it easy to navigate among your
Contacts entries.

In the Contacts list screen, the scroll buttons move the highlight. Holding Shift

and

using the scroll buttons moves up or down an entire screen of records. If you press and hold
a scroll button, you accelerate the scrolling.

In the Contact View screen, the scroll buttons move to the previous or next Contacts record.

You can also use the Instant Lookup feature, to quickly scroll to any of your Contacts entries.

To use Instant Lookup to find a Contacts record:

1. From the Contact list, tap the Look Up line.

First name initial and last name.

as shown above. Entering “cmal” finds only “Carolyn Malestic.”

3. Use the scroll buttons to select the contact name.

4. Press Return
