Procedure and general information
Authorizing a mobile phone (connect-
ing)
Before using your mobile phone with
COMAND for the first time, you will need to
search for the phone (
Ypage 115) and then
authorize it (
Ypage 116). Depending on the
mobile phone, authorization either takes
place by means of Secure Simple Pairing or by
entering a passkey. COMAND automatically
enables the procedure suited to your mobile
phone. You can recognize Secure Simple Pair-
ing by a code which is displayed in COMAND
and on the mobile phone. You can recognize
the passkey system by the fact that you have to enter a code on the mobile phone and in
COMAND. The mobile phone is connected
automatically after authorization. Further
information about automatically reconnect-
ing authorized mobile phones (
Ypage 117).
If COMAND does not detect your mobile
phone, this may be due to particular security
settings on your mobile phone. You can also
start the search procedure and authorization
on the mobile phone (
Ypage 117).
Device-specific information on authorizing
and connecting Bluetooth
®-capable mobile
phones can be obtained from your authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center or via the Internet at
http://www.mercedes-benz.com/
connect .
You can authorize up to 15 mobile phones.
Only one mobile phone can be connected to
COMAND at any one time for telephony.
De-authorizing (disconnecting) a mobile
phone
The connection is terminated automatically if
you leave the receiver range of COMAND or
deactivate Bluetooth
®on your mobile phone.
If you no longer want the Bluetooth
®connec-
tion to be established automatically, the
mobile phone must be de-authorized (discon-
nected) (
Ypage 118).
Searching for a mobile phone

XTo select Start Search: press the con-
troller.
The available mobile phones are displayed
in the device list.
The duration of the search depends on the
number of Bluetooth
®telephones within
range and their characteristics.
If a new phone is found, it appears in the
device list with the Ïsymbol. You can now
authorize (connect) the mobile phone found
(
Ypage 116).
If the maximum number of authorized devices
in the device list is reached, you will be
requested to de-authorize a mobile phone
(
