6. Phonebook
Your phone supports smart phonebook feature. Not
only can you store the frequently used phone numbers
on the SIM card, you can also store other contact
information such as address, email, etc on the smart
phonebook.
Note: When you switch on the phone, the phonebook
will start to initialize. You need to wait a while before
you can start using the phonebook.
Your phone features two phonebooks: SIM phonebook
(capacity depends on the SIM card) and Smart
phonebook (up to 1000 name cards can be stored). The
contents and operations of the two phonebooks are
slightly different. However, the entries in the two
phonebooks are combined, sorted and displayed in a
list. On the right of a SIM phonebook entry is an icon
in the shape of a SIM card. On the right of a smart
phonebook entry is a default number icon.
You can assign groups to the namecards in the smart
phonebook. The available groups are: Default, Family,
Friend, Colleague, Society and Private (you may
change the group name). You can differentiate the
groups by assigning different ring tones for each group.
