Introduction The phone book displays the names and
phone numbers of all address book entries
saved in the COMAND address book. If an
address book entry does not have a tele-
phone number, it does not appear in the
phone book.
The phone book of the mobile phone is auto-
matically downloaded to COMAND after con-
nection.
In the telephone book, you can:
R save phone numbers (Y page 393)
R search for entries (Y page 392)
R delete entries (Y page 393)
R import contacts (Y page 406)
R delete contacts (Y page 407)
R receive vCards (Y page 407)

remain in COMAND even if you use
COMAND with another mobile phone. The

phone. For this reason, you should delete
any phone book entries before handing
over or selling the vehicle.
