Welcome to the world of Mercedes-Benz
First, make yourself familiar with your
Mercedes Benz telephone module with Blue-
tooth® (SAP profile). Read this supplement,
especially the safety and warning notes,
before you operate the telephone module.
This will help you to get the most out of the
telephone module and avoid endangering
yourself and others.
Mercedes-Benz is constantly updating its
accessories to the state of the art. Your tele-
phone module may therefore differ from that
shown in the descriptions and illustrations.
The technical documentation team at
Daimler AG wishes you safe and pleasant
motoring.

Operating safety
GWARNING
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.
The telephone module bracket can become
very hot at high outside temperatures.
Do not open or make any modifications to the
telephone module bracket. The operating
permit will otherwise be invalidated.
Qualified specialist workshop
A qualified specialist workshop has the nec-
essary special skills, tools and qualifications
to correctly carry out any necessary work on
your telephone module.
A qualified specialist workshop must perform
any necessary service, maintenance and
repair work as well as all relevant documen-
tation according to Daimler AG specifica-
tions. If these instructions are not taken into
consideration, this may result in the loss of
warranty claims. Have warranty and ex gratia
work done at authorised workshops/Service
Centres.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.

Useful information
General notes
This supplement refers to the COMAND and
audio system operating instructions, the vehi-
cle Owner's Manual and the mobile phone
operating instructions. Please have these at
the ready.
If difficulties arise during installation, contact
a qualified specialist workshop (Y page 5).
Mobile phone manufacturers constantly
adapt their mobile phones to the state of the
art in technology. Operating tips are therefore
subject to deviations.
When the vehicle is unlocked, a Bluetooth®
connection between an authorised mobile
phone and the telephone module may be
established automatically.
You cannot make calls using the hands-free
system until COMAND/the audio system is
switched on.
Some changes to the SIM card settings can-
not be made via the telephone module. These
include call divert, toggling and text message
parameters. Changes to these settings must
be made on the mobile phone with the SIM
card inserted, see the separate mobile phone
operating instructions.
Further information on the Bluetooth® (SAP
profile) telephone module is available online:

Connecting a mobile phone to the
telephone module
Establishing a Bluetooth® connection
between a mobile phone and the telephone
module is only possible if:
Rthere is currently no active Bluetooth® con-
nection between the telephone module and
another mobile phone
Rthere is currently no active SAP or HFP
Bluetooth® connection between the tele-
phone module and another device
Rthere is no SIM card in the telephone mod-
ule.
During an active Bluetooth® connection
between a mobile phone and the telephone
module, the telephone functions are available
exclusively on the telephone module. The
telephone functions are temporarily inactive
on the mobile phone connected.
Connecting automatically
COMAND/the audio system always searches
for the last connected mobile phone.
If no connection can be made to the most
recently connected mobile phone, the system
searches for the mobile phone that was con-
nected before that one.
The SIM card PIN entered during authorisa-
tion is stored on the telephone module if this
option has been selected in the settings
(Y page 19). When establishing a Blue-
tooth® connection, re-entering the PIN is only
necessary if the SIM PIN has been changed.
Connecting manually
After a connection has been terminated, you
can establish another connection manually.
