received, the information on the dash panel will be updated to indicate “Call
waiting” and the identity of the person/number calling. Use buttons ,
and on the steering wheel controls to select “Replace” to disconnect the

(the call waiting) or “Reject” to continue talking with the first caller.Dialogue
The voice command system can be activated via the “press to
talk” key on the phone adapter or the key on the multi-func-
tion wheel.In this manual, Dialogue is defined as the time in which the speech control
system may receive vocal commands and provide assistance for completion
of different functions in case the user is hesitant and unsure how to proceed.
The system also responds by vocal messages. The dialogue is started and
interrupted by pressing the “press to talk” button ⇒page 6, fig. 1 .If a call is received, then the dialogue is immediately interrupted. The call can
be accepted by pressing the “answer call” button on the multi-

ended.
Note the following to ensure that you are properly understood:
•Speak in a normal tone and without pauses or exaggerated pronuncia-
tion.•Avoid poor articulation of words.•Keep the doors, windows and sun roof closed if possible to avoid back-
ground noises that might affect the system.•Keep the air vents directed away from the microphone (located on the
interior light).•At high speeds, you might need to speak louder to drown out background
noises.•Avoid other noises in the vehicle during a dialogue (e.g. other passengers
speaking in the vehicle).•Avoid speaking when the system is saying a cue.•The hands-free microphone is directed towards the driver, therefore, only
the driver should try to operate the system.•To make a call when there is heavy background noise we recommend
using the speech controlled telephone book instead of speaking individual
digits. This will help avoid mistakes when specifying telephone numbers.

32The connection between the telephone and the hands-free system will not
be established if this system is already communicating with another phone.
If there are two or more Bluetooth telephones within communication range of
the hands-free system then the system will connect with the one that was
most recently connected.
WARNING
•When your mobile phone establishes a connection with the hands-free
system, it emits both a visual and audible signal.•It should be noted that when driving at night with the radio off, the
visual signal involves the screen lighting up for approximately 3 seconds.Note
It is important to personalise the device PIN code using a personal 4 digit
code. Consult an official SEAT workshop.Radiophones and business equipmentRadiophones and fixed insta llation business equipmentRadiophones

are used together with non-reflective aerial trimming),
•the effective transmitting power does not exceed 10 Watts at the aerial
base.
Your Authorised Service Centre will be able to inform you about options for
installing and operating radiophones with a higher transmitting power.
Business equipment

these do not have an effect on the concentration of the driver and that they
are CE approved. Equipment retrofitted to the vehicle that may have an effect
on the concentration of the driver must come with a specific licence for this
