General notes
Introduction
COMAND offers three types of telephony:
®
Bluetooth interface telephony
R
Convenience telephony

SAP telephony

i As an enhancement to convenience tel-
ephony, a permanently installed telephone
can be fitted (Bluetooth
ule with SAP profile). In addition to a SIM
card slot, mobile phones, which support
the SIM Access Profile (SAP), can also be
connected to it.
SAP telephony is described in separate
operating instructions.
When connecting Bluetooth
phones with PBAP (Phone Book Access Pro-
file) or a convenience telephone, the contacts
are automatically downloaded to COMAND.
Basic telephony, in conjunction with a Blue-
®
tooth -capable mobile phone, enables you to
phone via the Bluetooth interface. With a suit-
able mobile phone, you can use the hands-
free system and receive vCards via the Blue-
®
tooth interface.
If your vehicle is equipped with convenience
telephony, you can obtain mobile phone
brackets for specific mobile phones at your
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre and have
them installed in the armrest.
In the bracket the mobile phone battery is
charged and a connection is made to the
vehicle's exterior aerial.

Safety notes
G
Risk of accident
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 accident and injure yourself and oth-
ers.
Two-way radios or fax machines without low-
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.
