Local Directory Features
The internal Local Directory contains the contacts that have been created or copied directly to the
phone using the phone UI. If no external directory sources are available, pressing on the Directory
key will open the Local Directory menu.
From the Local Directory menu, you can search for a contact, place a call to the selected contact,
add new contacts to the Local Directory, delete all contacts, delete individual contacts, or edit existing
contacts. Users can also view contact details (e.g. title, company name, numbers, work and home
addresses, e-mail addresses, etc...).
You can also assign an individual contact ring tone to contacts in your Local Directory. Individual
contact ring tones can be used during incoming calls to help you identify the party calling. You can
select contact-specific ring tones (from the phone’s 15 preloaded as well as the 8 custom ring tones)
for respective contacts in your Local Directory, which will be played back when a call from the
respective contact is incoming.
Individual contact ring tone support is dependent on the phone’s directory lookup functionality. During
an incoming call, the Local Directory is examined against the phone number of the incoming call. If
a match is found and the contact has an associated contact ring tone, the contact ring tone is played.
