You can prevent this interruption as follows: Bluetooth® interface telephony: switch the mobile phone to "Private mode" before switching off COMAND (see the mobile phone operating instructions). Convenience telephony: remove the phone from its bracket before switching off COMAND. If you wish to switch off COMAND during an active conversation in hands-free mode, the following message will appear: You cannot switch off COMAND until you have finished your call. "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 999 or 112 emergency call: Rthe mobile phone must be switched on. Ra network must be available. Ra valid and operational SIM card must be
inserted in the mobile phone.
If you cannot make an emergency call, you must arrange rescue measures yourself. The 999 or 112 emergency call number is a public service. Any misuse is punishable by law.
Telephony via the Bluetooth® inter- face Conditions On the mobile phone If your vehicle is equipped with convenience telephony and you wish to make calls via the Bluetooth® interface, your mobile phone should not be inserted in the mobile phone bracket or connected to the mobile phone bracket. Doing so could result in a malfunc- tion, depending on the type of mobile phone.
For telephony via COMAND's Bluetooth® interface, a Bluetooth®-capable mobile phone is required. Not all mobile phones available on the market are equally suitable. You can obtain more detailed information about suitable mobile phones and about connecting Bluetooth®- capable mobile phones to COMAND from your Mercedes-Benz Service Centre or on the Internet (http://www.mercedes- benz.com/connect). The battery of the mobile phone should always be kept sufficiently charged in order to prevent malfunctions. 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
The mobile phone must support Hands- Free Profile 1.0 or above.
i Certain displays and functions (e.g. signal strength display, conference connection) are available, depending on the supported version of the Hands-Free Profile.
X Bluetooth® visibility
On certain mobile phones, the device itself must be made "visible" for other devices, as well as activating the Bluetooth® func- tion (see the mobile phone operating instructions).
X Bluetooth® device name
Every Bluetooth® device has its own Blue- tooth® device name. This device name is freely definable, but can be identical for all devices from the same manufacturer. It is therefore recommended that you change this name so that you can easily recognise your mobile phone (see the mobile phone operating instructions).
X Switch on the mobile phone and enter the
PIN when prompted to do so (see the mobile phone operating instructions).
X Activate Bluetooth® functions and, where
necessary, Bluetooth® visibility on the mobile phone (see the mobile phone oper- ating instructions).
In COMAND X Activate the Bluetooth® function in
COMAND (Y page 147).
To connect a mobile phone General information Before using your mobile phone with COMAND for the first time, you will need to connect it. When you authorise a new mobile phone, it is connected automatically. Connecting comprises: Rsearching for a Bluetooth®-capable mobile

phone that you entered in COMAND.
i After entering the passcode, you may also need to enter a confirmation in your mobile phone to connect calls. Please check your mobile phone display. If the Error during authorisation process message appears on the COMAND display, you may have exceeded the allowed time. Repeat the procedure.
The mobile phone is connected to COMAND (authorised). You can now phone using the COMAND hands-free system.
External authorisation If COMAND does not detect your mobile phone, this may be due to particular security settings on your mobile phone. In this case, you can test if your mobile phone can find COMAND. The Bluetooth® device name of COMAND is MB Bluetooth. Observe the following: some mobile phones require that you reconnect to COMAND after you have entered the passcode (see the mobile phone operating instructions).

Using the phone book and address book The COMAND phone book is an extract of those entries from the address book which contain at least one telephone number. In addition, the first entry in the phone book is "Mercedes-Benz Contact", which you can use to contact the Mercedes-Benz Customer Centre. The address book organises and stores entries which are entered from different sour- ces (mobile phone, SD memory card, Blue- tooth® import, COMAND phone book, navi- gation). You can use these entries to make telephone calls and to navigate. You can cre- ate a maximum of 3000 address book entries.
Importing contacts automatically COMAND automatically imports contacts from a mobile phone to the phone book. Pre-requisite for this is that: Rbasic telephony via the Bluetooth® inter-
face is activated
Ror convenience telephony using the mobile
phone bracket is activated.
Depending on the mobile phone, this process may take some time. Depending on the mobile phone used, only the phone book entries in the mobile phone or these entries and the phone book entries from the SIM card are imported. Automatically imported contacts in COMAND can be identified by the Ã/0 symbol.

face is activated
Ror convenience telephony using the mobile
phone bracket is activated.
Importing contacts manually
i All the manually imported contacts remain in COMAND even if you use COMAND with a different mobile phone. The entries can be viewed without a mobile phone. Contacts created in COMAND can also be viewed without a mobile phone. For this reason, delete the phone book before selling or transferring ownership of your vehicle.
Existing contact data can be imported from the memory card manually. X To import data: load the memory card. X Select Data/connections in the tele- phone basic menu by sliding VÆ and turn- ing cVd the COMAND controller and press W to confirm. X Select Download contacts and press W to confirm. X Select From Memory Card and press W to confirm. X Select Add or Overwrite and press W to confirm. If the data has been imported, the Import successful message is displayed.

COMAND has to process it. The entries are only visible in the address/phone book when this is completed.
Receiving vCards via Bluetooth® You can receive vCards from devices that support the sending of vCards via Blue- tooth®. Such devices include PCs. It is necessary to authorise the device in COMAND to do so. PCs have to be authorised via the Bluetooth® device list (Y page 147). Received vCards are imported into the address book. Please bear the following in mind: RBluetooth® must be activated in COMAND and on the Bluetooth® device (N operating instructions of the device).
Rthe Bluetooth® device must be able to send
vCards via Bluetooth® (N operating instructions of the device).
Rthe Bluetooth® device in the vehicle must
be switched on.
i If you switch to another main function,
e.g. navigation, while receiving vCards, the reception of vCards will be terminated. X Select Data/connections in the tele- phone basic menu by sliding VÆ and turn- ing cVd the COMAND controller and press W to confirm. X Select Download contacts and press W to confirm.
