Additional Communications Equipment - Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Operating Instructions Manual

Increased levels of electromagnetic radiation
could pose a risk to your health and the health of
others. Using an exterior aerial takes into
account current scientific discussions relating
to the possible health hazards that may result
from electromagnetic fields. Only have the exte-
rior aerial installed by a qualified specialist work-
shop.
When using mobile phones and two-way radios,
Mercedes-Benz recommends connection to an
approved exterior aerial. This is the only way to
ensure optimal reception quality in the vehicle
and to minimise potential interference between
the vehicle electronics and mobile phones or
two-way radios.
In Germany, for vehicles without a hands-free
system, it is forbidden to use mobile phones
while driving or while the engine is running.
Observe the legal requirements in the relevant
country.

General notes
You can choose between two systems that sup-
port mobile phones supplied by different man-
ufacturers:
mobile phone fitting (networked)
R
mobile phone fitting (no networking)
R
A description of the mobile phone fitting (no
networking) can be found in the separate sup-
plement.
Both systems include a hands-free system inte-
grated into the vehicle. The microphone for the
hands-free system is fitted in the overhead con-
trol panel or in the overhead stowage compart-
ment together with the front interior light.
In order to use the hands-free system, you will
need a special mobile phone bracket. The
Mercedes-Benz range of accessories includes
brackets for various mobile phone models.
i Mobile phone brackets available from vari-
ous manufacturers on the open market are
not compatible with the Mercedes-Benz tele-
phone system. You can recognise brackets
suitable for your mobile phone by the
Mercedes Star and by the spare part number
B6 on the back.
The mobile phone fitting provided is networked by a fibre-optic cable for communications equipment, e.g.
11
radio or CD changer.
