Address book
Introduction
Always pay attention to traffic conditions.
Familiarize yourself with the address book
functions before beginning your journey.
You can use COMAND when the road and
traffic conditions permit. You could otherwise
become involved in an accident in which you
or others could be injured.
The address book displays all the contacts
from the various sources (mobile phone,
memory card, USB device, COMAND phone
book, navigation).
You can use the contacts to make telephone
calls, navigate and to write messages.
If a mobile phone is connected to COMAND
and automatic calling up is activated
(
Ypage 132), the mobile phone's contacts
are displayed in the address book. If you dis- connect the mobile phone from COMAND,
these contacts are no longer displayed in the
address book.
When you import, save, edit or add contacts,
they will be saved in COMAND. These con-
tacts will remain there even when you con-
nect COMAND to a different mobile phone.
You can view these contacts even without a
mobile phone.
iThe address book can store a total of
5000 contacts.
R2000 entries are reserved for perma-
nently saved contacts.
R3000 entries are reserved for contacts
that you can load from the mobile phone.

iIf the saved address book entry contains a
phone number, the entry is also displayed

ing of phone contacts is activated,
COMAND displays the copy ¥with the
changed data. To add additional data, such
as additional phone numbers or e-mail
addresses, select this contact. In this way,
you avoid creating additional copies of the
mobile phone entry.

files). A vCard is an electronic business card.
A memory card, USB device or a Bluetooth
®
connection can be used for importing.
iUp to 2000 entries can be imported into
the address book. A message notifies you
when the maximum number is reached. In
order to be able to then import new con- tacts, you have to delete existing contacts
(
Ypage 133).

order to import vCards:
RvCards (vcf files) may be located in the main
