phone is required.
i Not all mobile phones available on the
market are equally suitable. More detailed
information on suitable mobile phones and
on connecting Bluetooth ®
-capable mobile
phones with COMAND can be found on the
Internet at
http://www.mbusa-mobile.com . Or call

(for the USA) or Customer Relations on
1-800-387-0100 (for Canada).

The address book organizes and stores
entries that are entered from different
sources (mobile phone, SD memory card,
Bluetooth ®
import, COMAND phone book,
navigation). You can use these entries to
make telephone calls and for navigation. You
can create a maximum of 3000 address book
entries.
Importing contacts automatically
COMAND automatically imports contacts
from a mobile phone to the phone book.
In this case, the mobile phone must be active
via the Bluetooth ®
interface.
Depending on the mobile phone, this process
may take some time. Depending on the
mobile phone used, only the phone book
entries in the mobile phone or these entries
and the phone book entries from the SIM card
are imported.
Automatically imported contacts in COMAND
can be identified by the Ã/0 symbol.
These are available to you in COMAND only
when the mobile phone is active via the
Bluetooth ®
interface.
Importing contacts manually
i All the manually imported contacts
remain in COMAND even if you use
COMAND with a different mobile phone.
The entries can be viewed without a mobile
phone. Contacts created in COMAND can
also be viewed without a mobile phone. For
this reason, delete the phone book before
selling or transferring ownership of your
vehicle.
Existing contact data can be imported from
the memory card manually.XTo import data: load the memory card.XSelect Data/Connections in the
telephone basic menu by sliding VÆ and

COMAND has to process it. The entries are
only visible in the address/phone book
when this is completed.
Receiving vCards via Bluetooth ®
You can receive vCards from devices that
support the sending of vCards via
Bluetooth ®
. Such devices include PCs.
This requires the device to be authorized in
COMAND. PCs have to be authorized via the
Bluetooth ®
device list ( Y page 135).
Received vCards are imported into the
address book.
