The Edit Contacts Window

The majority of the dialog is self explanatory; however
there are several aspects of the editor which bear some
explanation.

On a touch screen device the editor only shows the fields

that you want to see and use, or those that are in use
already. As you can see from the picture to the right, weʼre
only showing a small fraction of the fields there. Each field
can be removed or added at any time. On a non
touchscreen device all fields are displayed.

If you are using a touch screen device you can also set
certain fields to always show on creation/editing of a
contact. To access the Remove/Show Always/Copy menu
just tap and hold on the
Field Name.

TIP: If you prefer to always see certain fields for editing so that
you donʼt have to add them each time, simply go to the Add
Field to Editor dialog, add all the fields you always wish to see
and add them. Then simply tap/hold on the Field Name and
choose “Always Display”. That way your custom set of
displayed fields will always display.

You can also add fields to the editor by tapping on the “Add Field to Editor” hot-link at the bottom
of the editor

And if you tap on the item+ buttons next to certain fields, their
complementary fields will be instantly added. For example,
tapping on the item+ button next to Email 1 will add Email 2.

The only two fields that must be shown at all times are the
Name and File As fields.

Windows Mobile™ 5 provides about 14 more fields than

Windows Mobile™ 2002/2003 do. Pocket Informant™ fully
supports all these extra fields including the Ring Tone field.

Dialing
Pocket Informant™ allows you to dial a number in your contact
list using one of several methods

Dialing Methods Supported

DTMF Dialing
The Touch Tone dialer works by synthesizing DTMF tones and will work in most analog phone
systems. It will not work in digital phone systems such as a PCS Cell phone or PBX. You set
which type of dialing option to use within the Settings. The available options depend on what your
deviceʼs hardware supports. Thanks to Gary Dezern for his communications code.

Bluetooth Dialing
If you have Bluetooth hardware, you must pair with the phone you wish to use first. See your
Bluetooth hardware instructions for details of this process, and also for details of the correct
Bluetooth COM port to select in Pocket Informantʼs Dialing Modes.

Windows Mobile™ 5 Dell Aximʼs and iPaqs do not currently work with our Bluetooth Dialing.

Bluetooth dialing and Bluetooth headsets

Whether or not you will be able to use a Bluetooth headset or hands-free kit at the same time as
Pocket Informant™ Bluetooth dialing depends on your phone manufacturer and model. For
example, most Sony Ericsson phones only establish the connection between the phone and the
headset after you have dialed, which allows Pocket Informant™ to do the dialing for you. Nokia
phones, on the other hand, hold a continuous connection with the headset, which prevents
Pocket Informant™ from connecting to dial.

Phone Edition Dialing

If you have a Pocket PC 2002/WM 2003 Phone Edition device, Pocket Informant™ can make a
call using the phone. Just press the green Talk button on any contactʼs number or line in the
contacts list.
