Call lists
Introduction
If your mobile phone supports the PBAP Blue-
tooth®profile, the call lists from the mobile
phone are displayed in the multimedia system.
When connecting the mobile phone, you may
have to confirm the connection for the PBAP
Bluetooth
®profile.
If your mobile phone does not support the PBAP
Bluetooth
®profile, the multimedia system gen-
erates its own call lists. These are not the same
as the call lists in your mobile phone.
The call lists option is not available unless a
mobile phone is connected to the multimedia
system.
If the contact for an incoming call is not saved in
the address book, you can use the call list to
save the telephone number. You can save this
telephone number as a new contact in the
address book or add it to an existing contact
(
Ypage 115).
iIf you connect a different mobile phone to
the multimedia system, the call lists from the
new mobile phone are displayed.
