COMAND telephone*
COMAND address book General notes
The address book contains the entries that
are saved in the COMAND address book
memory. The entries are permanently
available even if the phone is not inserted
in the cradle*. When you insert the mobile
phone into the cradle*, COMAND reads-in
the phone book entries saved in the mobile
phone and stores the entries as a separate
list from the COMAND address book. This
list is a copy of the phone’s phone book.
This can take several minutes, depending
on how many entries the phone book and
the address book contain. After the read-in
process, the COMAND compares the
phone book entries with the address book
entries. If all of the telephone numbers of a
phone book entry in the mobile phone are
present in an address book entry, the ad-
dress book shows only the address book
entry. If not, the address book also shows
the phone book entry in the mobile phone.Address book menu overviewWarning!
G
Please devote your attention first and fore-
most to the traffic situation you are in.
Before your journey, please familiarize your-
self with the address book functions.
Only use the COMAND when road and traffic
conditions permit you to do so. Otherwise
you could be involved in an accident in
which you or others could be injured.

The components and operating principles of
COMAND can be found on (

For phone book entries in the mobile phone
that contain a name and a telephone number,
you will see the name and the number. If a phone
book entry in the mobile phone contains several
telephone numbers, you will see the message
“Multiple Numbers” instead of a telephone num-
ber.
i
Please observe the following when creating
a new address book entry:
You can define your own address in the destina-
tion memory in navigation mode. When defining
the address, you can transfer data already en-
tered as an address book entry.
In the address book entry, the city and street
must be spelled in the same way as the destina-
tion entry so that the data matches the digital
map data.
In order for the state (province) to match the
map data, its complete name or abbreviation
may be entered.
Examples:


Florida or FL


Colorado or CO


Alberta or AB


Ontario or ON
