Starting a phonebook
You can start a new phonebook by connecting to
your phone and retrieving the names and numbers in
its memory, or by creating a new phonebook.
Copying numbers from your phone
If you already keep names and phone numbers on
your phone, connect to your phone and copy them
into a new phonebook on your Revo.
To connect to your phone and retrieve its
phonebook:
1.Ensure that your mobile phone is ready to
communicate to your Revo using its Infrared (or
‘IR’) port (your phone’s manual will tell you how
to do this). Align the Infrared windows on your
Revo and phone, making sure that they are no
more than 1 metre (3ft) apart.
2.Tap the Connect button on the Toolbar, or
select Connect to phone from the Tools menu.
Use Phone to organise the list of names and phone
numbers stored in your mobile phone (called a
“phonebook”). You can edit phonebooks on your
Revo, and integrate entries with your Contacts
address book to keep them up to date. You can copy
phonebooks to and from your phone using Infrared
(or ‘IR’).
Phone memory & SIM cards
Phonebooks can be stored on either your phone’s
SIM card, or the memory in the phone handset. If you
store a phonebook on your SIM card, you can access
it on another phone by inserting the SIM card into the
phone. If you store a phonebook in your phone’s
memory, you can only access it from your phone.What is a ‘SIM card’?
You will have obtained a SIM (Subscriber Identity
Module) card when you bought your phone, or
subscribed to your network operator. Your SIM contains
information such as your phone number and PIN, and
can also be used as a memory to store phonebooks and
SMS messages.

the memory in your phone to be retrieved. For
details about the different memory types in your
phone, see ‘Phone memory & SIM cards’ earlier.
4.Your Revo reads the phonebook from your
mobile, and checks to see if it matches any
phonebooks present in Phone, then:
5.If this is the first time you’ve retrieved a
phonebook, enter a name for it, then tap OK to
save it in Phone.
6.Otherwise, if you have previously retrieved (or
created) a phonebook, Phone displays a dialog to
specify what to do with the names and numbers:·To save the numbers in a new phonebook, tap
New and enter its name.
·To overwrite an existing phonebook, tap Replace
and select the phonebook name.
·To add the numbers to an existing phonebook,
tap Merge and select the phonebook name. If a
matching entry is present in both the phone and
the phonebook, but the two entries have a
different name or number, phone asks you to
specify which entry to use. Once the
phonebooks have been merged, confirm whether
you want your mobile to be updated with the
merged phonebook.
