tor plug is inserted in the Media Interface /

prox. 15 seconds automatically without re-
sulting in function limitations.

mobile phone that was paired first is deleted.
Connecting the mobile phone to the
cradle
After the pairing, the connection between
the mobile phone and the cradle is establis-
hed automatically. The LED on the cradle
lights up continuously.
In order for the hands-free system to

phone and cradle is disconnected and the
next paired mobile phone is searched for.

to be activated.
The Bluetooth®symbol (arrow) in the display
of the mobile phone changes from grey to
white.

(Please refer to the mobile phone operating
instructions.)

General notes on operation
If the mobile phone is placed in the cradle
during an active call, the telephone number
will not be displayed on COMAND and/or
the audio system.
For information on operating the mobile pho-
ne via the multi-function steering wheel, see
the COMAND and/or Audio Opera-
tingnstructions and/or the vehicle Owner's
Manual.
COMAND and the vehicle's operating sys-
tem/on-board computer cannot access text
messages (SMS).
It is recommendable to switch off the mobile
phone at least once a months. (Please refer
to the mobile phone operating instructions.)
The mobile phone battery is charged when
the ignition key is in position 1, 2 or 3.
Using the iPod functions
If your vehicle is equipped with a Media
Interface or an iPod Interface Kit, it is
possible to access the iPod functions of the
iPhone in the cradle via COMAND or the
operating system/on-board computer.
Please refer to the COMAND, audio or
vehicle Owner's Manual and the mobile
phone operating instructions for this.
Note
A competent installation by a qualified speci-
alist workshop must be performed for the
connection of the cradle to the Media Inter-
face or the iPod Interface Kit. Mercedes-
Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this pur-
pose.
For SL-Class vehicles (date of manufacture
after 03/2008), you can carry out the
connection of the cradle to the Media
Interface or the iPod Interface Kit on your
own via the plug connector in the centre
