bol in the display of the multimedia system and
an audible signal. Once you have read all the
messages, the symbol is no longer displayed.
The multimedia system displays the 100 newest
text messages and e-mails.
The ú symbol is displayed when the mobile
phone's message memory is full. The symbol is
no longer displayed if you delete messages on
the mobile phone.

cle is in motion.

mobile phone must support the MAP Bluetooth®
profile. The prompt for the MAP Bluetooth®pro-
file may have to be confirmed on the mobile
phone.
With some mobile phones, some settings still
have to be made after connecting to the multi-
media system (see the manufacturer's operat-
ing instructions). The messages are then dis-
played the next time you connect to the multi-
media system.
An e-mail account must be set up on the mobile
phone for the e-mail function (see the manufac-
turer’s operating instructions).
To read and write e-mails in the multimedia sys- tem, the e-mail account first needs to be con-
figured (
