In the search field on the Admin Contact View page, search for the contacts you wish to merge.  Once you find one of the contacts, click on the "select" option found in the results below.

This step might need to be repeated more than once, but make sure no more than two contacts are selected.  If you accidentally select more than two contacts, you may use the "Clear Workarea" button to restart.

Mark a Contact as Primary

Mark a Contact as Primary

Use the "Primary Contact For Merge" check box to mark a contact as the primary.  The primary contact will have single-instance form priority over the secondary.  For example, if both contacts have a Billing Schedule, the primary's will be used over the secondary's.
