Using call lists
Introduction
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:
RBluetooth®telephone with PBAP Blue-
tooth®profile:
The call lists are downloaded automatically from the mobile phone by COMAND as
396Telephone
COMAND

soon as the mobile phone is connected to
COMAND.
RBluetooth®telephone without PBAP Blue-
tooth®profile:
COMAND creates the call lists from both
incoming and outgoing calls (including
missed calls) as soon as the mobile phone
is connected to COMAND.
iFor 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,

iIf no mobile phone is connected, then the
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 lists
and their entries will be deleted automati-
cally. They are still available on the mobile
phone itself.

tive menu items once calls have been
