Keeping Contacts in the Address Book
October 21, 2003 T-Mobile Sidekick Owner’s Manual 134
Find a Contact
If you have a large number of contacts in your Address Book, you can easily search and find a specific contact by
using the Match dialog box. The Match search is limited to the category of contacts you are currently viewing in
the Browse Contacts screen. So, if you want to search your entire Address Book, make sure you have selected
the All category from the menu. In the example below, the category being searched is Friends.
1 From the Browse Contacts screen (in any filtered view), press Menu then select Match... The Match dialog
box opens.
2 Start typing the first letter(s) of the contact you wish to find. The nearest match is highlighted:
3 Either continue typing the name to narrow the search, or scroll to find your contact.
4 Press the wheel to open the contact details.
Empty the Address Book Trash
All discarded contacts are moved to the Trash category. Since this information takes up storage space on your
device, you should periodically remove items from Trash by doing the following:
1 From the Browse Contacts screen, press Menu then select View > Trash. The contacts in the Trash
appear.
2 Press Menu then select Empty Trash. A confirmation dialog box appears. Select Empty Trash to
proceed. All contacts in the Trash are permanently removed.
Address Book Settings
Use the Settings screen (shown below) to set up “categories” for organizing contacts, as well as “labels” for
identifying types of contact information. “Ski Friends” is an example of a contact category, and “Cabin #” is an
example of an information label. You can also import contacts from your SIM card. Read below for details.
Create, Edit, and Delete Categories
Each contact in your Address Book contacts is stored in a category. By default, your Address Book contains the
following categories:
•Work
•Family
•Friends
You can edit the names of these categories, delete them, and create new ones, up to 10 total.
