fewer than four numbers assigned to
the selected entry in the selected num-
ber category. Otherwise, you will see a
prompt asking whether one of the ex-
isting numbers should be overwritten.

ber with the new data.Importing data from external
Bluetooth® devices
You can import vCards from external
Bluetooth
® devices into the address book.
Please keep the following in mind:

Bluetooth® is activated in COMAND
(
page 232) and in the device con-
cerned.

The external device must be able to
send vCards by Bluetooth®.

The external device is inside the vehi-
cle, switched on and authorized
(
page 232).
Importing: Start data transfer on the
external device (see operating instruc-
tions of the device concerned).
If there is no address book entry with
the same first name and last name,
COMAND imports the data.
If there is already an address book en-
try with the same first name and last
name, a prompt will appear asking
whether the existing data should be
overwritten.
Select “Yes” or “No”.
The existing address book entry will be
overwritten or not, depending on your
selection.
iThere is a detailed description of how to
search for an address book entry in the “Search-

General information about Bluetooth
®
Bluetooth® technology is the standard for
short-range wireless technologies, suitable
for transmitting voice and data. It is possi-
ble to connect Bluetooth
® devices wire-
lessly. Bluetooth® can be used to
exchange vCards or make calls using a
headset.
Bluetooth
® technology uses the freely
available ISM (Industrial Scientific Medi-
cal) wireless network that works at
2.45 GHz. Ranges of up to ten meters are
possible with Bluetooth
®.

® con-
nection between COMAND and the follow-
ing types of device:

Mobile phone (only for transferring
business cards)

Headset

Laptop/PDA
You can connect up to twelve devices to
COMAND but only one device can be ac-
tive at a time.

Warning!G
Please note that objects which do not touch
the ground, such as the bumper of a vehicle
parked behind you, a trailer hitch, or the
back of a truck, may appear to be further
away than they actually are. In this case, you
should not use the guide lines to judge dis-
tance as the use of the guide lines to judge
distance increases the risk of impacting the
objects.
Even when the object you approach is di-
rectly on the ground (and nothing on the ob-
ject extends above the ground beyond the
object’s contours directly touching the
ground) and no objects that do not touch
the ground, such as the bumper of a vehicle
parked behind you, a trailer hitch, or the
back of a truck are in the path, do not ap-
proach the object on the ground any closer
than red guide line4.
