relating to the possible health risk posed by
electromagnetic fields.
Mercedes-Benz recommends the use of an
approved exterior aerial. This ensures:
R
optimal mobile phone reception quality in
the vehicle
R
mutual influences between the vehicle
electronics and mobile phones are mini-
mised
An exterior aerial has the following advan-
tages:
R
it conducts the electromagnetic fields gen-
erated by a wireless device to the exterior.
R
the field strength in the vehicle interior is
lower than in a vehicle that does not have
an exterior aerial.
i
There are various mobile phone brackets
that may be fitted to your vehicle; in some
cases, these are country-specific.
i
Even if your vehicle is equipped with con-
venience telephony, you can connect a
Bluetooth
®
-capable mobile phone with
COMAND APS via the Bluetooth
®
interface.
More information on suitable mobile phones,
mobile phone brackets and on connecting
