MERCEDES-BENZ SL ROADSTER 2012 Owners Manual

Therefore, only use mobile communication
equipment if it is connected to the exterior
aerial of the vehicle.
Introduction COMAND Online allows you to use two dif-
ferent modes of telephony:
R telephony via the Bluetooth ®
interface
(standard equipment):
R permanently installed/SAP telephony (only
in conjunction with a data-enabledMB
SAP module)
In telephony via Bluetooth ®
interface
mode, the mobile phone is connected directly
to COMAND Online via Bluetooth ®
.
Enhancing this operating mode with the
optional mobile phone bracket allows you to:
R connect the mobile phone to the exterior
aerial on the vehicle
R charge the mobile phone
In the permanently installed/SAP teleph-
ony mode, the optional data-enabledMB
SAP module is inserted into the fitting in the
armrest designed for housing the mobile
phone bracket.
When connecting Bluetooth ®
-capable mobile
phones with PBAP (Phone BookAccess
Profile), the contacts are automatically down-
loaded to COMAND Online.
If your mobile phone supports the MAP Blue-
tooth ®
profile (M essageAccess Profile),
COMAND Online can receive and display text messages.
