General notes
COMAND offers you dual-level telephone
functions.
The basic version, when used in conjunction
with a Bluetooth ®
-capable mobile phone,
offers telephony via the Bluetooth ®
interface.
With a suitable mobile phone, you can use the
hands-free system and receive electronic
vCards via the Bluetooth ®
interface.
If your vehicle is equipped with convenience
telephony*, you can obtain mobile phone
brackets* for specific mobile phones at your
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre and have
them installed in the centre armrest.
In the bracket*, the mobile phone battery is
charged and a connection is made to the
vehicle's exterior aerial.
When using a suitable mobile phone, the con-
venience telephony* function offers, in addi-
tion to the hands-free function, the ability to
load the phone book from your mobile phone
and to use the text message function (SMS).
i If your vehicle is equipped with conveni-
ence telephony*, you can also connect a
Bluetooth ®
-capable mobile phone to
COMAND via the Bluetooth ®
interface.

Safety notes G
Ris
kofa ccident
You must observe the legal requirements for
the country in which you are currently driving
when operating mobile communications
equipment in the vehicle.
If it is permitted to operate communications
equipment while the vehicle is in motion, you
may only operate such equipment when road
and traffic conditions permit. You may other-
wise be distracted from the traffic conditions,
cause an acciden tand injure yoursel fand oth-
ers.
Two-way radios or fax machines withou tlow-
reflection exterior aerials may interfere with
the vehicle electronics and thereby compro-
mise the operational safety of the vehicle and
your safety. Therefore, only use these if they
are properly connected to a separate, low-
reflection exterior aerial. G
Risk of injury
Excessive electromagnetic radiation may con-
stitute a health hazard to yourself and others.
Use of an exterior aerial gives consideration
to the current scientific discussion surround-
ing the possible health risk posed by electro-
magnetic fields.

motion
Ac all may be disconnected if:
R there is insufficient GSM network coverage
in certain areas.
