While connecting the mobile phone with the hands-free system by means of Blue-
tooth
®, no other phone can be connected wi th the hands-free system via Blue-
tooth®.
Up to seven mobile phones and four mu ltimedia units can be connected by the
hands-free system via Bluetooth
® whereby only one mobile phone or multimedia
unit can communicate simultaniously via Bluetooth® with the hands-free system.
If an eighth mobile phone is connected to the handsfree-system, then the tele-
phone, which has not been used together with the handsfree system for the longest
period, is disconnected by means of Bluetooth
®.
Establish Bluetooth
® connection
After switching on the ignition, the Blue tooth connection is automatically estab-
lished for the already adapted mobile phone
12). Check on the mobile unit if the
automatic connection was established.
Disconnect Bluetooth
® connection
After withdrawing the ignition key, the Bluetooth® connection is disonnected.
WARNING
•Pay attention primarily to the traffic si tuation! As the driver you are fully
responsible for road safety. Use the telephone system only to such an extent,
so that you are in full control of your vehicle at any time - risk of accident!
•In the event of air transport, the Bluetooth® function of the handsfree-
system must be switched off by a specialist garage!
Caution
Taking the mobile phone out of the adapter during the call can lead to interruption
of the connection. When taking out the mobile phone, the connection to the
factory-fitted antenna is interrupted, this reduces the quality of the transmitting
and receiving signal. This might result additionally in harmful radiation from the
mobile phone in the interior of the ve hicle and the charging of the telephone
battery is interrupted.
Note
•Not valid for all mobile phones which enable a communication via Bluetooth®.
•Please operate your mobile phone exclusively with a suitable adapter, in order
to keep a low radiation in the vehicle.
•Inserting the mobile phone into the adapter ensures an optimal sending and
receiving power and offers at the same ti me the advantage of the battery charging.
•Note that the range of the Bluetooth® connection to the handsfree-system is
limited to the vehicle interior. The range is dependent on local factors, e.g. obstacles
between the devices and interferences with other 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-sy stem or the data transfer.
Erase the list of connected units

– Switch on the ignition. A connectio n to a mobile or multimedia unit
must not be established.
– Press the button SOS on the adapter or the button

Universal telephone preinstallation GSM III*
Introduction
This enables you to make full use of the ad vantages of a normal carphone (“hands-
free system” using a microphone integrated in the vehicle, optimal transmission of
signals using an external aerial etc.). The equipment includes also the voice control.
The telephone is connected using the rSAP profile - Remote SIM access profile
(telecommunication of the SIM data) by means of Bluetooth
® technology, if your
telephone supports this profile. The equi pment includes the following functions:
•Display of the SMS text in the information display.
•Free talking in the vehicle interior.
•MUTE signal to the radio.
•Voice control (with the set-up possibility for “short and long dialogue”,
depending on the user's knowledge of the operating structure).
•Convenience mode with the multifunction steering wheel and the display in the
information display.
•Handsfree-system.
The voice control of the telephone is acti vated by pressing the button PTT on the
multifunction steering wheel ⇒page 139, fig. 142 .
A phone phonebook is part of the univers al telephone preinstallation GSM III with
voice control. In the phone phonebook there are 1 000 free memory locations
available. This phone phonebook is inde pendent of the appliance used for the
mobile phone.
Furthermore the volume can be changed indi vidually at any time with the button
for setting the radio or on vehicles fitted with multifunction steering wheel* with
function buttons on the steering wheel.
Dialogue
The period, in which the telephone system is ready to receive voice commands and
carry out the voice commands, is called DIALOGUE. The system gives audible feed-
back and guides you if nece ssary through the relevant functions. You can start or
end the dialogue at any time by pressing the PTT button. The dialogue is always automatically ended after carrying out an operation, e.g.
after erasing the name from the phonebook.
The dialogue of the incoming call is i
mmediately interrupted and you can accept
the call by pressing the button
.
If a voice command is not detected, the system answers with “ Sorry?” and a new
entry can be performed. After the 2nd error the system repeats the aid. After the 3rd
error the answer “ Cancel” is given and the dialogue is ended.
Optimum understanding of the voice commands depends on the following
factors:
•Speak with a normal tone of voice wi thout intonation and excessive voice
pauses.
•Avoid insufficient articulation.
•Close the doors, windows and sliding roof, in order to reduce or stop disturbing
exterior noise.
•It is recommended to speak louder at higher speeds, so that the tone of your
voice is louder than the increased surrounding noise.
•During the dialogue avoid additional nois e in the vehicle, e.g. simultaneously
talking occupants.
•Do not speak, if the system makes an announcement.
•The microphone for voice control is in serted in the moulded headliner and
directed to the driver and front passen ger. Therefore the driver and the front
passenger can operate the equipment.
WARNING
Pay attention primarily to the traffic si tuation! As the driver you are fully
responsible for road safety. Use the telephone system only to such an extent,
so that you are in full control of your vehicle at any time.
Note
•Please contact your Škoda Service Partne r if there are any points which are not
clear.
•Please also refer to the additional instructions ⇒page 145.

If you do not want to confirm the command rSAP during each connection of the
telephone to the control unit, then you must carry out in the menu of the mobile
phone an authorization using the control unit.
The telephone deregisters from the GSM network and only the control unit ensures
the communication with the network. In th e telephone only the interface for Blue-
tooth
® remains active. In this case, you can only select to separate from the device,
switch off the Bluetooth® connection or the number of the emergency call 112.
If the PIN was stored, an automatic selection and connection of the telephone take
place the next time the ignition is swit ched. Check on your mobile phone if the
automatic connectio n was established.

®:
•When removing the key from the igniti on lock (during a telephone call, the
connection is disconnected).
•By switching off the Bluetooth® in the mobile phone.
