devices. If your mobile phone is e.g. in a jacket pocket, this can lead to
difficulties when establishing the Bluetooth connection with the handsfree-
system or the data transfer.
•If you have set the Portuguese language in the information display, it
is used automatically for the mobile phone operation, as this is the
language, which was entered during coding of the handsfree-system.
Mobile phones and two-way radio
systems
We recommend that you have the installation of a mobile phone and two-
way radio system in a vehicle carried out by a Škoda Service Partner.
Škoda Auto a.s. permits the operation of mobile phones and two-way
radio systems with a professionally installed external aerial and a
maximum transmission power of up to 10 watts.
Our Škoda Service Partners are also happy to inform you about the possi-
bilities available for installing and operating mobile telephones and radio
transmitters which have an output greater than 10 watts. The Škoda
Service Partners can provide you with details about the technical possibil-
ities for retrofitting of mobile telephones and radio transmitters.
Operation of mobile phones or two-way radio systems may interfere with
functioning of the electronic systems of your vehicle. The reasons for this
may be:
•no external aerial,
•external aerial incorrectly installed,
•transmission power greater than 10 watts.
You should therefore not operate a mobile phone or two-way radio
system inside the vehicle without the use of an external aerial, or with
an external aerial which has been incorrectly installed. You should also be aware of the fact that only an
external aerial makes it
possible to achieve the optimal range of such equipment.
WARNING
•If a mobile phone or two-way radio system is operated inside the
vehicle without using an external aer ial, or with an external aerial
which has been incorrectly installed, the result can be excessive
electromagnetic fields which ma y cause harm to your health.
•Please always pay full attention to the traffic situation around
you!
•You must not install two-way radio systems, mobile phones or
mounts on the covers of the airbags or within the immediate
deployment range of airbags. This might result in injuries to the
occupants in the event of an accident!
Note
Please also refer to the operating instructions of the mobile phones and
two-way radio systems.
Input AUX-IN*
The input for external audio sources AUX-IN is located next to the
handbrake and is marked with
. This input serves for
connecting external audio sources (e.g. portable mp3 player) to
the your radio system. The input AUX-IN* is only available in
combination with a radio installed in the factory. The description
on how to operate AUX-IN* can be found in the relevant oper-
ating instructions of the radio.
