Safety notes G
Ris
kofa ccident
You must observe the legal requirements for
the country in which you are currently driving
when operating mobile communications
equipment in the vehicle.
If it is permitted to operate communications
equipment while the vehicle is in motion, you
may only operate such equipment when road
and traffic conditions permit. You may other-
wise be distracted from the traffic conditions,
cause an acciden tand injure yoursel fand oth-
ers.
Two-way radios or fax machines withou tlow-
reflection exterior aerials may interfere with
the vehicle electronics and thereby compro-
mise the operational safety of the vehicle and
your safety. Therefore, only use these if they
are properly connected to a separate, low-
reflection exterior aerial. G
Risk of injury
Excessive electromagnetic radiation may con-
stitute a health hazard to yourself and others.
Use of an exterior aerial gives consideration
to the current scientific discussion surround-
ing the possible health risk posed by electro-
magnetic fields.
General notes Call disconnection while the vehicle is in
motion
Ac all may be disconnected if:
R there is insufficient GSM network coverage
in certain areas.
R you move from one GSM transmitter/
receive rarea (GSM cell) into another and
no channels are free. R
you use a SIM card which is not compatible
with the available network.
R when using a mobile phone with "Twin-
card", the second SIM card is registered on
the network at the same time.
Operating options
You can operate the phone with the following
controls:
R COMAND controller
Turn 002800130029

ating instructions).
Convenience telephony*:
take the phone
out of its bracket* before switching
COMAND off.
"999" or "112" emergency call
Making emergency calls without entering a
PIN is only possible using the mobile phone.
The following conditions must be fulfilled in
order to make a 112emergency call:
R the mobile phone must be switched on.
R a network must be available.
R a valid and operational SIM card must be
inserted in the mobile phone.

The 999 emergency call number is a public
service. Any misuse is liable to prosecution. Using the telephone via the Blue-
tooth
®
interface
i If your vehicle is equipped with conveni-
ence telephony* and you wish to make
calls via the Bluetooth ®
interface, your
mobile phone should not be inserted in the
bracket*. Doing so could result in a mal-
function, depending on the type of mobile
phone.
Requirements for the mobile phone For telephony via COMAND's Bluetooth
®
interface, a Bluetooth ®
-capable mobile
phone is required.
i Not all mobile phones available on the
market are equally suitable. You can obtain
more detailed information abouts uitable
mobile phones and about connecting Blue-
tooth ®
-capable mobile phones to
COMAND from your Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre or on the Internet ( http://
www.mercedes-benz.com/connect ).In preparation for telephoning via the Blue-
tooth
®
interface, you should check the fol-
lowing items on your mobile phone (see the
mobile phone operating instructions):
X Hands-Free Profile
Your mobile phone should support Hands-
Free Profile 1. 0orhigher.
X Bluetooth ®
visibility
On some mobile phones, in additio nto
Bluetooth ®
being activated, the device
mus talso be made "visible" to other devi-
ces.
X Bluetooth ®
device name
Every Bluetooth ®
device is given a Blue-
tooth ®
device name at the factory. All devi-
ces sold by one manufacturer may have the

mended that you change this name so that
you can easily recognise your mobile phone
(see the mobile phone operating instruc-
tions).
