83 Telephone*
Important notes
Always drive with extreme caution
when operating the telephone hands-
free.
For safety reasons, the cellular phone
handset should not be used to place or
receive a call while driving.
If the signal is very weak (display in the
status bar):
Wait until reception improves before
placing a call.
Close the windows and reduce all ex-
ternal noise as much as possible when
using hands-free operation.
Make sure that the air vents are not
pointed in the direction of the micro-
phones located in the overhead control
panel near the rear view mirror. Adjust
air vents and/or reduce blower speed
if necessary.
Tips on telephone operation
i
Once the cellular phone is inserted into
the telephone cradle, it can be operat-
ed:
using the cellular phone itself,
using the COMAND control unit,
using the multifunction steering
wheel, or
using the voice control system*.
Descriptions in this Operator’s Manual
presume that the cellular phone is in-
serted into the telephone cradle.
i
This Operator's Manual describes op-
eration of the telephone using the
COMAND control unit and the multi-
function steering wheel. Unless other-
wise specified, the descriptions and
the illustrated displays refer to the
COMAND control unit.
Operation of the cellular phone and
voice control system* are explained in
separate operation guides.
!
Radio transmitters, such as a portable
telephone or a citizens band unit,
should only be used inside the vehicle if
they are connected to a separate exte-
rior antenna approved by Mercedes-
Benz.
