+<title>The Terminal Window</title>
+
+<para>The terminal window provides a low-level interface for controlling
+the mobile phone via <command>AT</command> modem commands. You can type
+in commands in the upper middle field: the lower-middle fields show
+the direct response of the mobile phone; the right side of the main
+window shows the processed output.</para>
+
+<para> On the left side you have the list of available commands; you
+can execute them by double-clicking on them or by pressing the
+<guibutton>Execute</guibutton> button. The modem response output
+fields show what happens. If you have typed in a new command you can
+add it to the list of available commands by pressing the
+<guibutton>Add</guibutton> button; a dialog will pop up to allow you
+select a name and parameters for the command.</para>
+
+<para>The command list is saved to an &XML; file by selecting
+<guimenuitem>Save</guimenuitem> from the menu or by pressing the
+corresponding toolbar button. You can load an existing file by selecting
+<guimenuitem>Open</guimenuitem> from the menu.</para>

+<sect1 id="mobilegui">
+<title>Mobile Interface Window</title>
+
+<para>By choosing <guimenuitem>Mobile GUI</guimenuitem> from the
+<guimenu>Show</guimenu> menu of the terminal window you open the
+Interface Window for your mobile phone. This shows a comprehensive view
+of the status and data present on the phone including the
+phonebook. There are twos list of phonebook data: one representing the
+&kde; address book; the other representing the data on the
+phone.</para>
+
+<para>You can read the phone books by pressing the
+<guibutton>Read</guibutton> button right under the corresponding
+list. By pressing the <guibutton>Write</guibutton> button you write back
+the data shown in the list to the corresponding phonebook. By pressing
+<guibutton>Save to File</guibutton> you can store the mobile phonebook
+as list of comma-separated values to disk. After loading the phonebook
+data using the <guibutton>Read</guibutton> buttons you can merge the
+phonebooks by pressing the <guibutton>Merge</guibutton> button: this
+will put data only present in one of the phonebooks into the other and
+vice versa; if conflicts occur during this process, a dialog pops
+up.</para>
+
+<para>The <guibutton>Sync</guibutton> button performs all the actions
+needed for syncing the phonebooks. It reads the data from the &kde;
+addressbook and the mobile phone, does the merge and writes it
+back.</para>

+
+<sect1 id="configuring">
+<title>Configuring &kandy;</title>
+
+<para>By selecting the entry <guimenuitem>Configure Kandy</guimenuitem>
+from the menu you get the preferences dialog of &kandy;. You can set the
+name of the serial device where your mobile is connected in this
+dialog; examples for the name of the serial device under &Linux; are
+<filename class="devicefile">/dev/ttyS0</filename> for the first and
+<filename class="devicefile">/dev/ttyS1</filename> for the second serial
+interface of your computer. You can also set which windows are opened
+by default when starting &kandy;.</para>
