Note
A damage in the sense of the warranty must not be the result from improper handling of the system or from unprofes sional repair attempts. In addition, no external damage must be present.
Radio mode

The volume settings must be selected in su ch a way that acoustic signals from the outside, such as e.g. a Martins horn from utility vehicles (police cars, ambulances and fire brigade), can be heard at any time.

Anti-theft protection
Anti-theft coding
Your radio is equipped with a convenience co ding. If the radio is being operated for the first time, the safety code is not only stored in the radio but also in the vehicle.
After disconnecting and reconnecting the batte ry, first of all switch on the ignition and then the radio.
If you wish to install the radio in another vehicle, the safety code must be entered. In this case, please do not hesitate to contact a Škoda Service Partner or a Škoda importer.
As the unit only functions after entering the safety code, this practically excludes its use after a theft - a contribution to increased anti-theft safety.
Note
The code is stored in the instrument cl uster. Through this it is automatically decoded (convenience coding). A manual entry of the code is normally not necessary.
Code entry
– Switch on the radio if the ignition is on. SAFE is displayed and then
0000 .
– Enter the safety code using the station keys .
– Confirm the safety code by pressing the button .
If you have confirmed a wrongly entered co de, you can repeat once again the entire process.
If the code number is entered incorrectl y for the second time, the unit will be blocked for approx. one hour. It is only po ssible to repeat the entry of the safety code after an hour has expired and while the unit is switched on and the ignition key remains in the ignition lock.
The cycle - two attempts, blocked for an hour - furthermore applies.

tions is shown on the display.
LEARN
This function enables an interference-fre e and clear reception as well as a fast station finding. The radio has its own list of receivable frequencies, which are arranged according to program identification (PI) and signal strength. This makes it possible to change to another frequency of the station which can be taken from a list containing the altern ative frequencies of the stations covering the area.

If the quality is however so low, that there is a risk of a “program loss”, the unit also accepts “related” frequencies.
•REGIONAL ON - the receiver switches to a regional “related” station, if the reception of the current station could be interrupted;
•REGIONAL OFF - the receiver can access the regional “related” station unlim- ited.
SEEK
•SEEK LOCAL - stops the station finding on the local stations with the strongest signal;
•SEEK DX - stops the station finding on all available stations.
AUX
Your radio is equipped with a connection which enables the play function of external sources.
AF
The function alternative frequency (AF) en sures that the best receivable frequency of the selected station is automatically an d precisely set. The replay of the broad- cast can be muted briefly during the search process according to the best receiv-able frequency.
