- ==============================================
-
- Q.1. How to merge Outlook data with the phonebook entries?
- A.1. You need to check "Add to existing data" option. In this case phonebook
- tree won't be cleared before import data from Outlook. You can also merge
- data from files.
-
- Q.2. Is there an easy way to move entries to a caller group?
- A.2. Definitely, yes. Just select all the entries you want to move by pressing
- Ctrl and left mouce button on them, then press right mouse button. In the
- popup menu select "Move to" item then choose the desired group. All the
- selected entries will be moved there.
-
- Q.3. What are the principles of Outlook import and export?
- A.3. You can import contacts from Microsoft Outlook into the program phonebook
- tree. Rules of mapping are described in the according help topics. To have
- items be placed into the groups you have to fill "Categories" field. If
- you leave the field blank contacts will be placed into "Assorted" group,
- and calendar items will be placed into "Reminder" group (calendar items
- will be also selected). Phonebook export to Outlook can be accomplished in
- two ways. If "Overwrite data during export to Outlook" is unchecked, only
- blank fields in Outlook contacts will be filled with phone numbers and
- text from the phonebook. If the option is checked, phone numbers and text
- will be overwritten by the according data from the phone. In both cases
- contacts which exist in the phonebook but are absent in Outlook database
- will be added.
-
- Q.4. How to choose default phone number for loading?
- A.4. At the same time you can work with several phone numbers in the program.
- To make program know what number to load to the phone memory as default
- one you need to double-click left mouse button on it. The number
- background becomes lime.
-
- Q.5. I have a huge number of entries. When I load them into the phone the
- deletion of old data goes on too long.
- A.5. This behaviour was fixed in version 1.6.3.
-
- Q.6. How can I connect my phone to the PC?
- A.6. You can do it in several ways. You can use DAU-9P cable (which was
- designed for 51** and 61** models) if you already have one. The standard
- cable for Nokia 7110 is DLR-3 and it's also supported. Infrared connection
- works under Windows'98 and Windows'2000. To tune the program, set the
- corresponding connection method and serial port number in the
- "Program options" dialog. You don't need to set serial port number if you
- use IR.
-
- Q.7. I have worked with Oxygen SMS and Phonebook Manager for Nokia 51**/61**
- models. Can I use files created by it in the Phone Manager for Nokia 7110?
- A.7. Yes, the Phone Manager for Nokia 7110 can load files created by version
- for 51**/61**. However, files saved in the version for 7110 are not
- supported by the version for 51**/61**.
-
- Q.8. How long names are allowed in the phonebook?
- A.8. The 7110 model imposes certain restrictions on the data length. If
- phonebook entries are stored in a SIM-card, maximum length of name depends
- on the specific SIM-card. The program confines them to 12 characters.
- Maximum number of entries which can be stored in SIM is also
- manufacturer-dependent. Names stored in the phone memory can be up to 50
- characters long. Phone numbers can have 48 characters maximum, and emails,
- postal addresses and notes can be 60 characters long. You can store up to
- 1000 entries in the phone memory.
-
- Q.9. Is it possible to lose information?
- A.9. Sure, there is such possibility. You can delete some data unintentionally,
- the phone can hang up as well as your PC. In order to prevent yourself
- from data losses make data backups periodically (actually, one of primary
- goals of the software is to help to make a copy of your entries for safe
- storing and future use). Specifically, it's highly recommended to save
- data in a file immediately after you read them from the phone first time.
- Then, it is a good practice to make copies before writing to the phone.
-
- Q.10. How can I make sure the phone is connected?
- A.10. You need to look at the status bar. If you see the IMEI then the phone
- was connected. Though, it could be possibly disconnected by some reasons
- (infrared link errors etc). The program doesn't check the connection
- permanently. It does it only before read/write to the phone operations.
- To reconnect the phone, choose the corresponding menu item in the
- "Options" menu.
-
- Q.11. How to define note type for calendar in Outlook?
-
- A.11. You have to fill "Categories" field with one of the following words:
- Birthday, Call, Reminder, Meeting. The note will be placed into the
- corresponding group. If the field was left blank the note will be placed
- into "Reminder" group and selected.
-
- Q.12. I loaded calendar notes from Outlook and saved them into the phone. When
- I read calendar memory of my phone I saw also old entries I had entered
- earlier. What's the matter?
- A.12. The program knows nothing about the calendar entries stored in the phone
- until you read them in the current session. So, if you rewrite the
- calendar without previous reading the old entries won't be affected. At
- the contrary, if you downloaded entries from the phone, changed or
- deleted some of them, these modifications will be reflected on the
- phone's memory when you write the data back to the phone.
