Import/Export File Format
The file format used for importing and exporting the phonebook data is "TSV". When importing or exporting
using Microsoft Excel, "CSV (Comma-separated Value)" is generally used as the file format.
A phonebook entry in the unit has only 2 fields: one for the name and one for the phone number. An entry in
the phonebook data is represented in text as "name <TAB> phone number <line break>". Any data after the
phone number is ignored.
The text data can be edited using any text editing software that supports UTF-16 encoding with a BOM and
little endian byte ordering. When you save the text file, it must be saved using the same format, or the text
might become garbled.
