Procedure
1. Plug the USB device into the jack near the center top edge of your phone.
2. Touch Select 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. Touch Save to write the merged Contacts list back to the USB device and return to
the list of contacts/USB actions or touch Exit to return to the list of contacts/USB
actions without writing the merged file to the USB device.

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.
