Note:
If your administrator has made a special application available that allows you to log in to
your phone via a USB device, and you log in that way, the only Contacts you can see are
those on the USB device itself.
Procedure
1. Plug the USB device into the jack near the center top edge of your phone.
2. Press Select or OK to select Merge file and phone contacts.
The Merge option is shown only when both the USB file and the phone have
contacts.
3. The contacts are merged automatically. When complete, review the statistics
displayed, which show the number of entries, duplicates, and any errors.
4. Press Save or OK to write the merged Contacts list back to the USB device and
return to the list of contacts/USB actions or press Exit to return to the list of contacts/
USB actions without writing the merged file to the USB device.
Note:
If you attempt to merge more than the maximum 250 entries, the phone displays
a List Full screen. You can then either save the first 250 entries or cancel the
merging process without transferring the contents to the deskphone.

detailed format information about external data source files.

2. Scroll down to Replace phone contacts with file.
3. Press Select or OK.
4. Review the statistics displayed, which show the number of valid and invalid entries,
and if applicable, the number of entries that exceed the 250 contact phone limit.
