6. Using Remo Contacts

Remo's Contacts area has several features that you should explore:

Search Contacts
Sync Contacts
Add to Phone / Contact Details

From Remo's Main Menu:

* Select Contacts. The Contacts Menu will then display as shown:

Search Contacts

Search Contacts enables you to look up any contact you have on your desktop.

* Select Search. The search options are displayed:

Sync Contacts

Sync Contacts will download contacts and changes from your Web Account to your phone and upload contacts and changes from your mobile phone to your Web Account.

* Select Sync Contacts:

Depending on how many contacts are being dowloading or how many edits were detected, this may take a few moments. When concluded, the display will indicate how many records were added, updated or deleted:

Note: The Sync contacts option for Remo in your phone does not initiate sync from your desktop PIM (Outlook, Palm, Lotus) to your web account. This either needs to be done manually, or you can set the sync software to periodically sync automatically. Click here for more details.

Add to Phone & Details

When using Search Contacts to access a contact's phone numbers, you have the option to add that contact to the mobile phone's address book. You may wish to do this if you find you are using Search Contact often on this contact.

Before doing this, be sure to find out what your phonebook's capacity limit is. Click here for more info.

To manually add a contact to the address book:

* Perform a successful search & select the desired name

* Select Add to Phone To view other information about this contact that you may have stored in our desktop PIM.

* Select Details...

Additional information is displayed when selecting Details. If you are a business user, read on for information about using Remo to access your corporate directory. If not, you can go to the next step now.

Search Corporate Directory

This menu option will appear only if you have set up access to corporate email. If your company has approved your access to the corporate directory, you can search the corporate directory in a similar fashion to searching your own contacts. In addition to name, you can search by department.

To set up access to the corporate directory:

* Select Email from Remo's main menu

* Select Account Setup and choose the corporate email account to edit

* Scroll down and select "Advanced"

* Select "LDAP" and enter the server address, Port #, SSL setting and Domain name

You must obtain the server address, port #, SSL setting and domain name from your IT department. Click here for a pdf document that you can download and forward to your IT department for email server settings.

Once you have configured these settings, the Search Corporate Directory menu option will appear in Remo's Contact menu (where Corporate Directory = Email account name):
