Adding Contacts to Your Local Contact Directory
You can add contacts to your local Contact Directory in the following ways:
• Manually (if you have permission to update your local Contact Directory).
See “Adding Contacts Manually” on page 61.
• From a call list. “Adding Contacts from Call Lists” on page 63.
• From a Corporate Directory (if this is set up on your phone). See “Adding
Corporate Directory Contacts to Your Local Contact Directory” on
page 66.
Adding Contacts Manually
You can update your local Contact Directory manually, instead of importing
contact information from a call list or a Corporate Directory.
To add a contact manually:
1 Tap > Features > Contact Directory.
2 From the Directory screen, tap the Add soft key.
3 From the Add To Directory screen, enter the contact information:
— (Optional.) In the First Name field, enter the first name of the contact
(see “Entering Data and Editing Fields” on page 14).
You can enter a maximum of 32 characters.
— (Optional.) Tap the Last Name field, and then enter the last name of
the contact (see “Entering Data and Editing Fields” on page 14).
You can enter a maximum of 32 characters.
— (Required.) Tap the Contact field, and then enter the contact’s phone
number.
You can enter a maximum of 128 characters. The phone number must
be unique, and must not already exist in the directory. If you save an
entry with a non-unique phone number, the entry will not be saved.
— (Optional.) Tap the Speed Dial Index field, and then update the speed
dial index number.
The speed dial index number is automatically assigned to the next
available index value. If you want, you can change the speed dial
index value. The speed dial index value can be any value between the
next available number and a maximum value of 9999.
If you assign a speed dial index number that is already taken, the
message “Speed dial index already exists” displays.
Contacts with a speed dial index number can be automatically
assigned to a Speed Dial Key for one-touch dialing. For more
information, see “Managing Speed Dials” on page 70.
