I was hoping there was a way to export my contact phone number from my older panasonic to this one without having to enter them one at a time. I think you did I nice job and liked that you even posted how to set up!

Transferring contacts from an older Panasonic phone to the Panasonic KX-TG994 without manually entering them can be done if both phones support the same contact transfer methods. Here are a few possible ways to achieve this: ### 1. **Using Bluetooth** If both your older Panasonic phone and the KX-TG994 support Bluetooth, you can transfer contacts wirelessly: 1. **Enable Bluetooth**: - On both phones, navigate to the Bluetooth settings and turn Bluetooth on. - Pair the devices by following the on-screen instructions. 2. **Transfer Contacts**: - On your older phone, go to the contacts menu. - Select the option to send or share contacts via Bluetooth. - Choose all contacts or select the specific contacts you want to transfer. - Send them to the KX-TG994. ### 2. **Using the Panasonic Phonebook Transfer App** Panasonic has a Phonebook Transfer App that might help if both phones are compatible: 1. **Download the App**: - Search for the Panasonic Phonebook Transfer App on your smartphone's app store (Google Play Store or Apple App Store). 2. **Transfer Contacts**: - Follow the app's instructions to transfer contacts from your old Panasonic phone to the new KX-TG994. ### 3. **Using a DECT Transfer (If Available)** Some Panasonic phones support DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) transfer: 1. **Place both phones near each other**: - Make sure both phones are on and connected to their respective bases. 2. **Initiate DECT Transfer**: - On the older phone, navigate to the contacts or phonebook menu. - Look for an option to transfer contacts via DECT or similar wireless method. - Follow the on-screen prompts to transfer the contacts to the new phone. ### 4. **Manual Export and Import via a Computer** If the older phone allows exporting contacts to a file, you can use a computer for the transfer: 1. **Export Contacts**: - On your older Panasonic phone, export the contacts to a file (commonly a .vcf or .csv file). 2. **Transfer to Computer**: - Transfer the file to your computer using a USB cable, email, or any other method. 3. **Import Contacts**: - If the KX-TG994 supports importing contacts from a file, transfer the file to the KX-TG994 and import the contacts. ### 5. **Contact Panasonic Support** If the above methods do not work, it might be best to contact Panasonic customer support for detailed instructions specific to your phone models. Panasonic Customer Support: - **Website**: [Panasonic Support](shop.panasonic.com/support) - **Phone**: 800-234-0604 - **Email**: [e-mail] By following one of these methods, you should be able to transfer your contacts from your older Panasonic phone to the KX-TG994 without manually entering them one by one.
