[NJTechDiv] adding a contact

Sat Jun 5 13:51:59 UTC 2021

Hi Ken,
To add a  contact. I  go to my Contacts anddouble tap Add in the upper
right corner.
Find the name fields and double tap. Keyboard comes up. Use Dictate
key to the left of space bar.
When it's time to add a  phone number, taop and flick down to the type
of number, be it Home, Mobile, EWork, etc.
Tap the screen and a  number pad shows up in lieu of keyboard. Tap in
the numbers.
When all info you want to input is there, tap Done in upper right.
Hope this is helpful.
Annemarie
