Palm Dialer Application (NBXDialer)
The Palm Dialer application is included on the Resource Pack CD. You can look up a telephone
number in the Palm Address Book application and then use the Palm Dialer application to place a
call to that number. Call commands are transferred from the Palm organizer to the NBX Model
2102-IR Business Telephone (a prerequisite) through the phone’s infrared port.

• Palm V running Palm OS 3.1
• Palm Vx running Palm OS 3.5

The application may run on other Palm devices that have not yet been tested, provided that the
Palm has an infrared port and is running Palm operating system version 3.0 or higher.
