It is possible to exchange a contact between your MC 218 and another
MC 218 or any other device that supports the transfer of contacts in vCard
format using IrObex infrared. It’s also possible to transfer contacts from one
machine to another by exporting a contact to a file in vCard format on one
machine, transferring the file to another machine and importing it there.
• To send a contact using infrared, select the contact to be transferred and
use Infrared Send on the Too ls menu.
• To receive a contact using infrared, use Infrared Receive on the Tools
menu.
• To export a contact as a vCard file, select the contact to be transferred and
use More Export contact on the File menu. You need to specify the
name you want to give the vCard file and the disk and folder you want it to
be put in.
Note! You can export all contacts that contain a particular piece of text (e.g.
all contacts with the same Company name) into the same vCard file, by first
searching for the piece of text and then exporting the contacts.
