>Hi Rhonda, >The file you need to copy is 'Address List.cdb' if you have the newer database >structure or 'KeyList.cdb' if you have the older one. >1) From the Main Menu, press F for the File Manager, followed by C for the >"Copy File" option. >2) At the "Drive?" prompt, press F for the Flash Disk.
