Help rescue my contacts!

Does anybody happen to have an LG Lotus phone for Sprint and a few minutes?

My phone took a swim in the sink overnight a few days ago thanks to my lovely cat and I bought a new phone to replace it. The lotus still works, but both screens are dead.

All my contacts are still on the lotus. I can transfer them to my computer using bluetooth, but I had it turned off to save battery life. I am in need of somebody with a working LG lotus to walk me through turning on bluetooth, since I can't see the screen. I would be much obliged.

I don't have one but here's the manual. There is a menu map starting on page 9 of the pdf. It looks like you want to do something like 0 -> 4 -> 1 to turn on Bluetooth. There's more info on Bluetooth options on pdf page 123. Good luck!

BeerFilter, I tried to figure out how to do it using the manual, but it didn't work.

I happen to have mine right here, so....
Assuming you didn't wildly change the carousel settings, you will be on the HOME icon when you start up the phone.

* Hit OK.
The menu you now are on is a four wide by three high grid, and you start in A2.
* Go right one and down one to B3 and this should be SETTINGS. Hit OK.
* Hit 4
* Hit OK
* Hit 1
*Wait a moment while it activates Bluetooth

Now you can End or exit out once and you will go to the main screen.
