Call lists
Introduction
If your mobile phone supports the PBAP Blue-
tooth®profile, the call lists from the mobile
phone are displayed in COMAND.
If the mobile phone call lists cannot be dis-
played, COMAND generates its own call lists. These are not the same as the call lists in your
mobile phone.
The Call list option is not available unless a
mobile phone is connected to COMAND.
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 136).
iIf you connect a different mobile phone to
COMAND, the call lists from the new mobile
phone are displayed.
