phone via the COMAND, instrument cluster

control system (Y page 242) or Voice Control. i In order for the functions described in this section to work correctly, the Bluetooth® headset must be linked to COMAND (Y page 180). Please make sure any Bluetooth® headset linked with the mobile phone is switched off or that the headset is linked with COMAND before you insert the mobile phone in the cradle, see separate installation instructions for the cradle, and use the telephone functions with COMAND.

The descriptions in this section assume that the mobile phone is inserted in the cradle. Exceptions to this are clearly stated. Unless otherwise indicated, the descriptions and illustrations in this section refer to COMAND and the telephone keypad. Operation using the mobile phone and Bluetooth® headset is described in the respective separate Operating Instructions.

Caller ID COMAND can display the telephone number and the name of the caller, e. g. for an incoming call and also in other menus or displays.

For the telephone number to be displayed, the caller must transmit their telephone number. This is also the case for name displays. For this, the telephone number and the name of the caller must also be saved in the mobile phone book.

Functional restrictions You will not be able to use the telephone, or you may have to wait a while, in the following situations: RIf the telephone has not yet logged into the

network. The telephone automatically tries to log into a network. If no network is available, you will also not be able to make a “911” emergency call. If you attempt to make an outgoing call, the No Service message will appear for a short while.

RIf the mobile phone is not inserted in the

cradle.

RSIM card is not inserted in GSM type phone.

COMAND telephone

Notes about COMAND telephone features using a Bluetooth® connection Many of the Mercedes-Benz approved mobile phones, cradles and adaptors available for use in your vehicle utilize Bluetooth® technology to communicate with each other and the vehicle. Depending on your phone brand and model, the number of in-vehicle or on-display COMAND telephone features supported via Bluetooth® communication, and thus available for your use, may vary. The descriptions and illustrations in this section are based on the use of fully compatible Mercedes-Benz approved mobile phones and cradles that do not utilize Bluetooth® technology to communicate with each other. If your vehicle is equipped with integrated Bluetooth® functionality, a Bluetooth® capable mobile phone, headset, Laptop, PDA, etc. is required to utilize those features. For additional information about Mercedes- Benz approved Bluetooth® mobile phones and related accessories please contact the Mercedes-Benz Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-FOR-MERCedes or the nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

COMAND address book G Warning! Please devote your attention first and foremost to the traffic situation you are in. Before your journey, please familiarize yourself with the address book functions. Only use the COMAND when road and traffic conditions permit you to do so. Otherwise you could be involved in an accident in which you or others could be injured.

General notes The address book contains the entries that are saved in the COMAND address book memory. The entries are permanently available even if the phone is not inserted in the cradle. When you insert the mobile phone

into the cradle, COMAND reads-in the phone book entries saved in the mobile phone and stores the entries as a separate list from the COMAND address book. This list is a copy of the phone’s phone book. This can take several minutes, depending on how many entries the phone book and the address book contain. After the read-in process, the COMAND compares the phone book entries with the address book entries. If all of the telephone numbers of a phone book entry in the mobile phone are present in an address book entry, the address book shows only the address book entry. If not, the address book also shows the phone book entry in the mobile phone.

Creating a new address book entry i Please observe the following when creating a new address book entry: You can define your own address in the destination memory in navigation mode. When defining the address, you can transfer data already entered as an address book entry. In the address book entry, the city and street must be spelled in the same way as the destination entry so that the data matches the digital map data. In order for the state/province to match the map data, its complete name or abbreviation may be entered.
