Procedure and general information
Authorizing a mobile phone (connecting)
If you connect your mobile phone using NFC
( Near Field Communication) the NFC area of
your mobile phone has to touch the NFC logo
on the DVD changer/single DVD drive. The
authorization then starts automatically. The
NFC range varies depending on the mobile
phone and can be identified by the logo. Fur-
ther information; see the manufacturer's
operating instructions.
If you use your mobile phone with COMAND
without NFC, you must search for it
(
Ypage 142) and then authorize it
(
Ypage 142). Depending on the mobile
phone, authorization either takes place by
means of Secure Simple Pairing or by enter-
ing a passkey. COMAND automatically ena-
bles the procedure suited to your mobile
phone. You can recognize Secure Simple Pair-
ing by a code which is displayed in COMAND
and on the mobile phone. You can recognize
the passkey system by the fact that you have to enter a code on the mobile phone and in
COMAND. The mobile phone is always con-
nected automatically after authorization.
If COMAND does not detect your mobile
phone , th
is may be due to particular security
settings on your mobile phone. You can also
start the search procedure and authorization
on the mobile phone (
Ypage 143).
Device-specific information on authorizing
and connecting Bluetooth
®-capable mobile
phones can be obtained from your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or via the Internet at http://www.mercedes-benz.com/
connect
.
You can authorize up to 15 mobile phones.
Only one mobile phone can be connected to
COMAND at any one time.
De-authorizing (disconnecting) a mobile
phone
The connection is terminated automatically if
you leave the receiver range of COMAND or
deactivate Bluetooth
®on your mobile phone.
If you no longer want the Bluetooth
®connec-
tion to be established automatically, the
mobile phone must be de-authorized (discon-
nected) (
Ypage 145).
Establishing a connection via NFC
(Near Field Communication)
:NFC range on the DVD changer/single
DVD drive
XMobile phone: touch the NFC logo on the
DVD changer/single DVD drive with the
NFC area of the mobile phone.

ing on the mobile phone used, you may
