be used inside the vehicle if they are con-
nected to an antenna that is installed on
the outside of the vehicle.
The external antenna must be approved by
Mercedes-Benz. Please contact an autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Center for informa-
tion on the installation of an approved
external antenna. Refer to the radio trans-
mitter operation instructions regarding use
of an external antenna.

ter buttons 2 and 4 and release
them only when the indicator light be-
gins to flash after approximately
20 seconds (do not hold the button for
longer than 30 seconds). This proce-
dure erases any previous settings for
all three channels and initializes the

1 flashes
rapidly, release both buttons.
Step 6:

Press and hold the just-trained inte-
grated signal transmitter button and
observe the indicator lamp 1.
