Hello Dane, That's not the issue. I had no problem importing my cell phone contacts. What I still need to do is manually enter hundreds of addresses that, for several reasons, cannot be sent to the unit via Bluetooth.
Some of these addresses are in hardcopy Braille; others are in my BrailleNote, but neither in Grade 2, nor computer Braille format, hence the need to enter them manually.
