The battery of the mobile phone should
always be charged sufficiently to avoid
malfunctions.
You should check the following on your
mobile phone (see your mobile phone
operating instructions) to prepare for
telephony via the Bluetooth ®
interface:
R Hands-Free Profile (HFP)
The mobile phone must support Hands-
Free Profile 1.0 or higher.
i Some displays, such as the signal
strength, appear depending on the
supported Hands-Free Profile version.
R Bluetooth ®
visibility
With certain mobile phones, the
Bluetooth ®
function must be activated but
also made "visible" to other devices.
R Bluetooth ®
device name
Each Bluetooth ®
device has a Bluetooth ®
device name. The device name is arbitrary,
but it may be identical for all devices of a
single mobile phone manufacturer. You
should therefore assign an individual and
unique device name to your mobile phone.
Connecting the mobile phone X
Switch on the mobile phone and enter the
PIN. Refer to the mobile phone operating
instructions for details.
X Activate the Bluetooth ®
functionality on
the mobile phone. Refer to mobile phone

COMAND is not activated, the message
Bluetooth not activated in system settings. appears. Activate Bluetooth
®

the COMAND manually (
Y page 138).
Authorizing the mobile phone
The mobile phone must be registered, e.g.
authorized, before you can use it in
connection with COMAND for the first time.
You can authorize several mobile phones.
COMAND will always connect to the last
connected mobile phone within range.
i If the connection to the last connected
mobile phone fails, COMAND searches for
the mobile phone that was connected
before that.
When authorizing a new mobile phone, it will
be connected automatically 5
.
X Select Data/Connections Q
Bluetooth Telephones Q Update.
The COMAND searches for Bluetooth ®
devices within range and lists them in the
Bluetooth ®
phone list.
The duration

of the search depends on the
number of Bluetooth ®
devices within range
and the characteristics of the mobile
phone, such as Hands-Free Profile version
and possibly required visibility.
