and the entries of the phone book are stored in
lists when the mobile phone is connected to the

list and establish the connection.

book, consisting of names and phone num-
bers, are sorted alphabetically.

from the "A - Z" phone book are automati-
cally stored in the Top 8 list.
>"Redial"
The last eight phone numbers you dialed
are automatically stored. The last number
dialed is at the top of the list.
>"Missed calls"

that were not accepted are stored. This

accepted calls are stored. This requires the
telephone number of the caller to have been
sent.
