Using the telephone via the Blue­tooth® interface

Bluetooth® technology is the standard for
short-range wireless data transmission of up
to approximately 10 metres. Bluetooth® can
be used to exchange vCards or make calls
using a headset or handset, for example.

If your vehicle is equipped with convenience
telephony* and you would like to make calls
using the Bluetooth® interface, be sure that
your mobile phone is neither in the mobile
phone bracket* nor connected to it*. This
may result in a malfunction, depending on the
type of mobile phone.

Mobile phone requirements

For telephony via COMAND's Bluetooth
interface, you require a Bluetooth®-capable
mobile phone.

i

Not all mobile phones available on the
market are equally suitable. You can obtain
more detailed information about suitable
mobile phones and about connecting Blue­tooth®-capable mobile phones to
COMAND from your Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre or on the Internet
(www.mercedes-benz.com).

To avoid malfunctions, the mobile phone's
rechargeable battery must always be suffi­ciently charged.

In preparation for telephoning via the Blue­tooth® interface you should check the follow­ing items on your mobile phone (see the
mobile phone operating instructions):

R

Hands-Free Profile
The mobile phone must support Hands-

Free Profile 1.0 or above.

i

Certain displays (e.g. the field strength
display or the mobile phone network pro­vider) appear depending on the supported
version of the Hands-Free Profile.

R

Bluetooth® visibility
On certain mobile phones, the device itself

must be made "visible" for other devices,
as well as activating the Bluetooth® func­tion.

R

Bluetooth® device name

Every Bluetooth® device has a Bluetooth
device name. This device name is freely
definable, but can be identical for all devi­ces from the same manufacturer. It is a
good idea to choose a personalised name
by which you can identify your mobile
phone clearly.

You can register more than one mobile
phone. A connection is always established to
the most recently connected mobile phone
within range.

If no connection can be made to the most
recently connected mobile phone, the system
searches for the mobile phone which was
connected before that one.

If you authorise a new mobile phone, it will be
automatically connected17.

If the Bluetooth® telephone list is already
full, you will be asked to de-authorise a

COMAND does not find your mobile phone,
external authorisation (Y page 117) is nec­essary.

COMAND looks for Bluetooth® devices
within range and adds them to the Blue­tooth® phone list.

The duration of the search depends on the
number of Bluetooth® devices within range
and on the mobile phone characteristics
(Hands-Free-Profile version, any "visibility"
requirements).

The passcode is any one to sixteen-digit num­ber combination which you can determine
yourself. You must enter the same number
combination in COMAND and in the Blue­tooth® device to be authorised; see the Blue­tooth® device operating instructions.

It is a good idea to enter a passcode with at
least four digits to ensure a secure Blue­tooth® connection.

Changing between Bluetooth® and
convenience telephony*

If your vehicle is equipped with convenience
telephony*, you can switch between teleph­ony types. If you want to use another mobile
phone, you will first need to connect it
(Y page 116).

Switching telephony type during opera­tion

During operation, you can switch from one
telephony type to another by connecting
another mobile phone or by making a selec­tion from the list.

Switching telephony type when switch­ing on

By default, COMAND performs the following
actions when it is switched on:

Mobile phone is inserted in mobile phone
bracket*

COMAND starts convenience telephony*.
If no mobile phone is inserted in the mobile

phone bracket*, the following message
appears: Telephone not inserted. This is
followed by a prompt asking you whether you
wish to switch to Bluetooth® telephony. If you
confirm by selecting Yes, the Ready for
Bluetooth telephony... message will
appear. COMAND will search for the two
mobile phones last connected via the Blue­tooth® interface. If one of the two mobile
phones is found, the telephone basic menu
