Before you use the telephone
Radio transmitters, such as portable telephone or a citi-
zens band radios should only be used inside the vehicle
if they are connected to an antenna that is installed on
the outside of the vehicle.• Please read this section first before attempting to
operate the telephone.
• Always drive with extreme caution when operating
the telephone in the hands-free mode.
• For your safety, do not use the handset for telephon-
ing while you are driving.
• Close the windows and reduce all outside noise as
much as possible when you use hands-free opera-
tion.
• If the signal strength is very weak (display in the
symbol field of the audio menus) you should not
make telephone calls. Wait until reception improves.
• A brief disconnection from the provider network is
not a malfunction. The telephone will try to log into
a network again on its own.
• If you have locked the phone, you must enter the
unlock code to be able to use all of the telephone
functions. If you do not enter the unlock code you
can only use the emergency number programmed
into memory location 1 (default is 9-1-1). To enter
the unlock-code, see page 66.
1 Observe all legal requirements.

Wa r n i n g !
Never operate radio transmitters equipped with a
built-in or attached antenna (i.e. without being con-
nected to an external antenna) from inside the
vehicle while the engine is running. Doing so could
lead to a malfunction of the vehicle’s electronic sys-
tems, possibly resulting in an accident and per-
sonal injury.
Please be sure to pay attention to the traffic situa-
tion at all times. Use the mobile cellular telephone
1
only when the traffic situation allows.
Some jurisdictions prohibit the driver from using a
cellular telephone while driving a vehicle. Whether
or not prohibited by law, for safety reasons, the
driver should not use the cellular telephone while
the vehicle is in motion. Stop the vehicle in a safe
location before answering or placing a call.
