SANYO ZIO PLS-8600 APPS SUPPORT

Most Bluetooth-enabled devices let you transfer contacts to and from one phone to another. To enable this feature on the Sanyo Zio PLS-8600 Zio, you will need a third-party app. We recommend downloading Bluetooth File Transfer by Medieval Software. The app is free and works very well.

4. Delete the current address and enter a new webpage. (We recommend testing with credoaction.com)
5. Tap OK to complete the process.

With Three-Way Calling, you can talk to two people at the same time. When using this feature, the normal airtime rates will be charged for each of the two calls.

1. Make a phone call and press > Add call.
2. Make another phone call. (Your first call is automatically put on hold.)
3. When you are connected to the second party, tap > Merge calls.

If one of the people you called hangs up during your call, you and the remaining caller stay connected. If you initiated the call and are the first to hang up, all callers are disconnected.

When you're on a call, Call Waiting alerts you to incoming calls by beeping. Your phone's screen lets you know that another call is coming in and displays the caller's phone number (if it is available and you are in digital mode).

To respond to an incoming call while you're on a call:

Press (This puts the first caller on hold and answers the second call.)

To switch back to the first caller: Press again.

1. Press > Slide up the All Programs icon () > Camera to activate camera mode.

You can transfer music, pictures and videos to and from your phone with the USB Mount feature. This feature is supported by most Windows and Mac operating systems, but it is dependent on your computer's setup. If you experience problems when connecting your phone to your computer, try restarting your system first. If that doesn't help, you may need to purchase a microSD to USB converter, such as a MobileMate.

1. Connect your phone to your computer using a compatible USB cable. (Wait for the connection to be completed. When connected, the host computer will automatically detect your phone.)
2. The USB icon () now appears on the left side of the status bar on your phone.
3. Press > Notifications to open the Notifications panel.
4. Tap USB connected > Mount. You can drag and drop files onto your phone now.
