Transferring your Phonebook Contacts

Your SENSE uses Text To Speech technology (TTS) to read out the name of the person who
is calling you. To do this, the SENSE needs to store a copy of your phonebook contacts.

contacts automatically. The SENSE stores up to 2,000 contacts per phone.

Tip: Tap the

Manually Transferring your Phonebook Contacts

2. Go to your phonebook and select the contacts you want to send to the SENSE. Choose
the option to “Mark All” or “Select All” if this is available on your phone (if this is not
available, you will need to transfer each contact individually).

3. Select the option on your phone to “send” or “beam” contacts, business cards, or
v-cards via Bluetooth, and select the “BlueAnt S3” from the list of Bluetooth devices.
See your phone’s manual for help with this step.

SENSE will read out the caller’s number instead.

your SENSE by pressing and holding the + and - symbols together for about 3 seconds.
