While the telephone is being used, COMAND
stores individual lists for both incoming and
outgoing calls (including missed calls). Call
lists are not available unless a mobile phone is connected to COMAND.
COMAND supports the PBAP Bluetooth ®
pro-
file. How COMAND processes call lists
depends on the model of the mobile phone
connected:
R Bluetooth ®
telephone with PBAP Blue-
tooth ®
profile:
The call lists are downloaded automatically from the mobile phone by COMAND as
soon as the mobile phone is connected to
COMAND.
R Bluetooth ®
telephone without PBAP Blue-
tooth ®

COMAND creates the call lists from both
incoming and outgoing calls (including
missed calls) as soon as the mobile phone
is connected to COMAND.
i For Bluetooth ®
telephones without the
PBAP Bluetooth ®
profile, the call lists in
COMAND are not synchronized with those
on your mobile phone. These calls may or may not be listed on your mobile phone,
depending on the model.

Call Lists menu item is grayed out and
cannot be selected. If you connect a mobile phone other than the previous one to
COMAND, the previously available call listsand their entries will be deleted automati-
cally. They are still available on the mobile
phone itself.
