CHAPTER 6

Managing Your Contacts

Making a connection from a contact

You can set up your contacts so that you can do tasks like dialing a phone number, creating an
email or text message, accessing the web, or sending an instant message (requires additional
software, sold separately) directly from a contact screen. Contacts gives you two tools to perform
these tasks:

Quick Connect

Lets you select a connection type and opens the application for making that type

of connection directly from a contact’s information screen.

Tap-to-Connect

Opens the application to perform a connection task directly by selecting the

appropriate entry (phone number, email address, and so on) from a contact’s information screen.

Using Quick Connect

If you have a compatible mobile phone (sold separately) that includes Bluetooth wireless
technology, you can use Quick Connect to dial a phone number, address an email or a text
message, go to a website, or send an instant message (requires additional software, sold
separately) directly from a contact.
