Activating the mobile phone
The check marks 1 indicate if a phone
has been authorized (black) or not (grey).
If a phone is not in the vehicle but has been
authorized previously, the phone symbol
and the check mark are grey 2.
i If the device list already contains ten autho-
rized devices, you must de-authorize one of the
authorized devices (
page 88). You will then
have to switch this device off and start the
search again. Otherwise the new device you are
looking for will not appear in the list.
To start search again:
Select “Update”.
Entering passcode
Select the as yet unauthorized device
(no check mark yet) from the list.
Select “Options” K “Authorize” or
Press n.
The input menu for the passcode ap-
pears.
i The passcode is any number chosen by you
between one and sixteen digits in length. We rec-
ommend to use at least four digits because this
improves the quality of the encryption during
connection. The passcode can differ during each
authorization for each device. You must enter
the same number on COMAND and on the device
to be authorized. Please also refer to the instruc-
tions in the mobile phone operating guide.
To enter from COMAND: Select the
digits in the menu bar one after the oth-
er.
To correct entry: Select õ.
To cancel entry: Select “Back”.
To confirm entry: Select B.If a Bluetooth
® connection is established
successfully, you will be prompted to enter
a code on the mobile phone (
mobile
phone operating guide).
Enter the same passcode on the mobile
phone as you did on COMAND.
The device is authorized. You can now
make calls via COMAND’s hands-free
device using the authorized
mobile phone.
External authorization
If COMAND cannot find your mobile phone,
this may be due to special security settings
on your mobile phone. In this case, you can
check whether, conversely, your mobile
phone can find COMAND.
