DAB 6
(Digital Audio Broadcasting) is an opti-
mised digital transmission standard designed
for the mobile reception of radio transmis-
sions. Several programmes are combined
into so-called ensembles and transmitted on
one single frequency. Digital radio stations
can be transmitted nationally, regionally or
locally.
Digital stations are selected and saved in the
same way as analogue stations. The following
section therefore lists only those features
specific to DAB. Some stations only transmit programmes at
certain times. If you have selected a station
that is subsequently removed from the
ensemble, it will no longer be received. You
will continue to receive the other pro-
grammes in the ensemble. Select either a dif-
ferent programme or a different ensemble. Switching to DAB radio mode

Safety notes
G
Risk of accident
Observe the legal requirements of the country
in which you are currently driving regarding
operating mobile communications equipment
in a vehicle.
If it is permitted by law to operate communi-
cations equipment while the vehicle is in
motion, you may only do so when the traffic
situation allows. Otherwise, you could be dis-
tracted from the traffic conditions, cause an
accident and injure yourself and others.
Two-way radios and fax equipment used with-
out low-reflection exterior aerials can inter-
fere with the vehicle's electronics and,
thereby, jeopardise the operating safety of
the vehicle and your safety. Therefore, you
must only use this equipment if it is correctly
connected to a separate, reflection-free, exte-
rior aerial. G
Risk of accident
For reasons of safety, only use hands-free
mode if you use the telephone when driving.
If you use hands-free mode to make a call, you
must continue to drive carefully, close all the
windows and prevent any disruptive noises. General notes

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.

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 Blue-
tooth ®
-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 suffi-
ciently charged.
In preparation for telephoning via the Blue-
tooth ®
interface you should check the follow-
ing 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 pro-
vider) 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 ®
func-
tion.
R Bluetooth ®
device name
Every Bluetooth ®
device has a Bluetooth ®
device name. This device name is freely
definable, but can be identical for all devi-
ces from the same manufacturer. It is a
good idea to choose a personalised name
by which you can identify your mobile
phone clearly.
Connecting a mobile phone X
Switch on the mobile phone and enter the
PIN, if necessary – see the mobile phone
operating instructions. X
Activate the Bluetooth ®
functionality on
the mobile phone – see the mobile phone
operating instructions.
Bluetooth ®
is activated on COMAND as
standard. When the "Bluetooth ®
" function is
switched off on COMAND, the following mes-
sage appears: Bluetooth not activated
in system settings. Switch on Blue-
tooth ®
manually on COMAND (Y page 106).
Registering (authorising) the mobile
phone
Before you use your mobile phone with
COMAND for the first time, you must register
(authorise) it.
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 connected 12
.
X Select Data/connections QBlue‐
tooth telephonesQ Update.
COMAND looks for Bluetooth ®
devices
within range and adds them to the Blue-
tooth ®
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).
