Mobile Phone With Bluetooth ®

Interface
Prerequisites for the Mobile Phone
For making calls using COMAND via the
Bluetooth interface, you will need a
Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone.
i Not all mobile phones available on the
market are comparably suitable. Further
information on suitable mobile phones and
connecting Bluetooth-enabled mobile
phones to COMAND is available via the
Internet at www.mbusa-mobile.com. Or
call the Mercedes-Benz Customer
Assistance Center at 1-800-FOR-
MERCedes (1-800-367-6372) (US), or
Customer Relations at 1-800-387-0100
(Canada)..
Activating Bluetooth ®

Before you begin activation of your mobile
phone connection via the Bluetooth interface
please ensure it is compatible with Bluetooth
handsfree profile 1.0 ( Y mobile phone
operating guide):XSwitch on the mobile phone and enter the
PIN, if applicable ( Y mobile phone
operating guide).XActivate Bluetooth connection on the
mobile phone ( Y mobile phone operating
guide).
i On certain mobile phones, not only do you
have to activate the Bluetooth function but
the device must also be made “visible” for
other devices.
Each Bluetooth device has a Bluetooth
device name. It is recommended to give the
device a personal name, by which you can
clearly recognize your mobile phone.
i If the Bluetooth function on the COMAND
is switched off, the message Bluetooth
not activated in system settings .
appears.
XActivate Bluetooth connection on
COMAND .
Registering a Mobile Phone
(Authorizing)
When you use your mobile phone in
conjunction with COMAND for the first time,
you must register (authorize) it.
It is possible to register several mobile
phones. The connection is always established
to the mobile phone that was activated last.
When you authorize a new mobile phone, it is
activated automatically. You can switch
between the authorized mobile phones
( Y page 99).
Searching for a Mobile Phone
XIn the phone submenu select Phone
£ Phone List £Update .
COMAND searches for suitable Bluetooth
phones within range and enters them in the
phone list.Activating the Mobile Phone97TelephoneZ

iThe duration of the search procedure
depends on the number and type of
Bluetooth phones. The search may take a
few minutes.
When first entering the device list and before
running an update, the black dot R indicates
the active phone (found and authorized).
After running an update:1The check marks Ò indicate if a phone
has been authorized (black) or not (grey)2Device not within range but previously
authorized ( ¿ appears in grey)3Phone icons indicate if a phone is found
(black) or not (grey)
i If the device list already contains ten
authorized devices, you must de-authorize
one of the authorized devices
( Y page 99). 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.

or
XPress 9.XThe input menu for the passcode appears.

The passcode is any number chosen by
you between one and sixteen digits in
length. We recommend 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 instructions in the mobile
phone operating guide.
XTo enter from COMAND: Select the digits
in the menu bar one after the other.XTo correct entry: Select õ.XTo cancel entry: Select Back.XTo confirm entry: Select ?.
If a Bluetooth connection is established
successfully, you will be prompted to enter a
code on the mobile phone ( Y mobile phone
operating guide).
XEnter 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.
