phones and about the connection between

Procedure and general information
Authorizing a mobile phone (connect-
ing)
Before using your mobile phone with the multi-
media system for the first time, you will need to search for the phone (
Ypage 94) and then
authorize it (Ypage 95). Depending on the
mobile phone, authorization either takes place
by means of Secure Simple Pairing or by enter-
ing a passkey. The multimedia system automat-
ically makes the procedure that is relevant for
your mobile phone available. You can recognize
Secure Simple Pairing by the fact that a code is
displayed on the mobile phone and on the mul-
timedia system. You can recognize the passkey system by the fact that you have to enter a code
on the mobile phone and on the multimedia sys- tem. The mobile phone is connected automati-
cally after authorization. Further information
about automatically reconnecting authorized
mobile phones (
Ypage 96).
If the multimedia system 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 authoriza-
tion on the mobile phone (
Ypage 96).
Device-specific information on authorizing and
connecting Bluetooth
®-capable mobile phones
can be obtained from an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center or via the Internet at http://
www.mercedes-benz.com/connect .
You can authorize up to 15 mobile phones. After authorization, the connection of the last two tel-
ephones used always functions automatically.
For telephony, only one mobile phone can be
connected to the multimedia system at any one
time.
De-authorizing (disconnecting) a mobile
phone
The connection is terminated automatically if
you leave the receiver range of the multimedia
system or deactivate Bluetooth
®on your mobile
phone.
If you no longer want the Bluetooth
®connection
to be established automatically, the mobile
phone must be de-authorized (disconnected)
(
Ypage 97).
