TIP Press the Address Book application button repeatedly to cycle through the
categories in which you have records. You can also press and hold the Address Book
application button to instantly beam your business card to another device with an

Creating an Address Book entry
A record in Address Book is called an entry. You can create entries on your
handheld, or you can use Palm™ Desktop software to create entries on your
computer and then transfer the entries to your handheld with your next HotSync
®
operation.
Palm Desktop software also has data import capabilities so that you can load
database files into Address Book on your handheld.
See “Importing data” in Chapter 3 and Palm Desktop online Help for more
information.
To create a new Address Book entry:
1. Press the Address Book button on the front of your handheld to display the
Address list.

the first letter of the name.
