General notes
New messages are identified by the /sym-
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

®profile.
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 (
Ypage 112).
Some mobile phones with the MAP Bluetooth®
profile:
Ronly show new text messages
Rdo not support the deleting or editing of text
messages
Rdo not support the drafts folder for text mes- sages
Rdo not support the sending of text messages
Rdo not support the e-mail function
Rdo not send messages when in a locked sta-
tus
