Safety notes
G
Risk of injury
COMAND is classified as a Class 1 laser prod-
uct. You must not open the casing. There is a
risk of exposure to invisible laser radiation if
you open the casing or if the casing is faulty
or damaged.
COMAND does not contain any parts that can
be serviced by the user. For safety reasons,
all maintenance work must be carried out by
qualified aftersales technicians. G
Risk of accident
Inserting or ejecting discs while driving may
distract you from the traffic conditions,
thereby causing an accident. Only insert or
eject a disc when the vehicle is stationary. Notes on MP3 mode
Permissible discs R
CD-R and CD-RW
R DVD+R and DVD+RW
R DVD-R and DVD-RW
R SD cards
R USB sticks
R iPod ®
R MP3 players
Permissible file systems R
ISO9660/Joliet for CDs
R UDF for DVDs
R FAT16 or FAT32 for storage media
Multisession CDs For multisession CDs, the content of the first
session determines how COMAND will proc-
ess the CD.
If the first session contains data in audio CD
format, for example, and the second session
contains MP3 tracks, COMAND will treat the
CD as a conventional audio CD. This means
that it is not possible to access the MP3
tracks.
If the first session contains MP3 tracks, for
example, and the second session contains
data in audio CD format, COMAND will treat
the CD as an MP3 disc. This means that it is
not possible to access the audio CD tracks.Audio CD/audio DVD* and MP3
