Run for the first time
If you install more than one skin, FingerAddress will ask you to select a skin. Simply select the skin you want, and tap OK.
To find a contact, for each character just tap the button that contains the character you need. You can also use Graffiti or an attached or built-in keyboard to enter characters.
For example, to find "Smith" tap the following buttons: [PQRS], [MNO], and [GHI]. You do not need to tap [PQRS] four times, [MNO] once and [GHI] three times.
Back button
Tap [Back] button to do a backspace.
Clear button
Tap [Clear] button to clear the whole search string
Skip button
The [Skip] button is very useful when you have some contacts with the same name in the search result. It makes the software to search from the beginning of each field within the result.
For example, you want to find David, Smith, so you tap [DEF], [ABC], [TUV], but there are too many contacts in the search result. So you can tap [Skip] button and [PQRS], and that's it.
Complete button
Tap [Complete] button means the end of search string.
For example, you want to find John, but there are also too many contacts called Johnson in the result, so you tap [Complete] button and the contacts containing Johnson will disappear.
History button
Tap [History] button to show your lookup history, you can also look up in your history.
Note: The layout of each skin may vary depending on the skin designer. And not all the skins provide all the function buttons, so you can access these functions from the menu.
