Bluetooth
®*
The Bluetooth technology serves as cableless connection of a mobile
phone to a hands-free system of your vehicle.In order to connect a mobile phone with Bluetooth to the hands-free
system, it is necessary to adapt the phone and the hands-free system to
each other. Detailed information on this is provided in the operating
instructions of your mobile phone. The following essential steps for
connecting the mobile phone must be carried out:
– Switch on the ignition.
– If necessary switch on the mobile phone.
– Select Bluetooth on the mobile phone and select the menu with which
the mobile phone searches for suitable Bluetooth devices.
– If the hands-free system on the display of the mobile telephone
announces Skoda UHV, enter the PIN 1234 within 30 seconds and
wait, until the connection is established.
6)
In the modern business world as well as within the private sector the mobile
communication gains increasingly on importance. Mobile phones from different
manufacturers can be connected with the hands-free system by means of Blue-
tooth. During the connecting procedure, no other mobile phone may be connected
via Bluetooth with the hands-free system.
Up to four mobile phones can be connected to the hands-free system by means of
Bluetooth, whereby only one mobile phone can communicate via Bluetooth with
the hands-free system. If a fifth mobile phone is connected to the handsfree-
system, then the telephone, which has not been used together with the handsfree
system via Bluetooth for the longest period, is disconnected.

6)Some mobile phones have a menu, in which the authorization for establishing a Bluetooth
connection is performed via the input of a code. If the input for the authorization is neces-
sary, it must always be performed when re-establishing the Bluetooth connection.

Communication 122Establishing the Bluetooth connection
After switching on the ignition, the Bluetooth connection is automatically estab-
lished for the already adapted mobile phone
6). You can hear an increasing tone
sequence from the loudspeakers of the vehicle.
Disconnecting the Bluetooth connection
After withdrawing the ignition key, the Bluetooth connection is disonnected. You
can hear an increasing tone sequence from the loudspeakers of the vehicle.
WARNING
•
Pay attention primarily to the traffic situation! 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. The charging of the mobile phone battery is also 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 time the advantage of the battery charging.
•
If you insert the mobile telephone into the adapter, the connection is estab-
lished via the interface in the adapter set and the Bluetooth connection is discon-
nected. You can hear an increasing tone sequence from the loudspeakers of the
vehicle.
•
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-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.
•
On certain mobile phones with operating system, it is necessary to install on the
mobile phone an application of the mobile phone manufacturer, which enables the
take-over of the phone phonebook via Bluetooth.
Mobile phones and two-way radio systemThe installation of a mobile phone and two-way radio system in a vehicle should
only be carried out by a Škoda Dealer.
Škoda Auto 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.
It is essential that you inform a specialist garage about the possibilites to assemble
and operate mobile phones and two-way radio sets which have a power output of
more than 10 W. They will inform you which technical possibilities exist for retrofit-
ting mobile telephones and radio transmitters.
Operation of mobile phones or two-way radio systems may interfere with func-
tioning 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.
