Mobile phones and two-way radio systemsThe installation of a mobile phone and tw
o-way radio system in a vehicle should
only be carried out by an authorised Škoda Service Partner. Škoda Auto permits the operation of mo
bile 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 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 a two-way radio system is operated in the vehicle
without using a special external aerial
or an external aeri
al which has been
incorrectly installed, this can increase the strength of the electromagnetic field in the interior of the vehicle.•
Please concentrate fully at all times on your driving!
•
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 acci-
dent.
Note
Please also refer to the operating instructions of the mobile phones and two-way radio systems.Universal telephone pr
einstallation GSM II*
IntroductionThis enables you to make full use of the advantages of a normal carphone (“hands- free system - Hands Free” using a microphone integrated in the vehicle, optimal transmission of signals using an external aerial
11) etc.). The equipment includes
also the voice control. The telephone is connected by means of the Bluetooth
®
technology
⇒page 142, “Bluetooth®”. On vehicles fitted with a telephone
mount*, it is also possible to establis
h the connection via the interface of the
adapter
12) ⇒page 144, “Operating telephone calls with the aid of the adapter*.”.
A phone phonebook is part of the mobile phone preinstallation with voice control. In the phone phonebook there are 1500 free memory locations available. This phone phonebook is independent of the appliance used for the mobile phone. The volume can be changed at any time with the set button of the radio* or with the function keys on the mult
ifunction steering wheel*.
If the system answers with the voice response “
Telephone is not ready
”, please
check the operating state of the telephone as follows:•
Is the telephone switched on?
•
Is the PIN code entered?
Dialogue The period, in which the telephone system
is ready to receive voice commands and
carry out the voice commands, is called DI
ALOGUE. The system gives audible feed-
back and guides you if necessary through

end the dialogue at any time by pres
sing the PTT button on the adapter*
⇒ page 144 or on the multifunction steering wheel*
⇒page 145.
The dialogue is always automatically ended after carrying out an operation, e.g. after erasing the name from the phonebook. When receiving an incoming call, the dial
ogue is immediately
interrupted and you
can accept the call by pressing the button°
 on the multifunction steering wheel*
⇒ page 145 or by pressing the button for receiving a call directly on your tele- phone. 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 syst
em makes an announcement.
•
The microphone for voice control is directed to the driver and front passenger.
Therefore the driver and the front passenger can operate the equipment.
WARNING
Pay attention primarily to the traffic situation! As the driver you are fully responsible for road safety. Use the tele
phone system only to such an extent,
so that you are in full control
of your vehicle at any time.
Caution
Taking the mobile phone out of the adapter during the call can lead to interruption of the connection. When taking out th
e 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.

®
The Bluetooth
® technology serves as cableless connection of a
mobile phone to a hands-fr
ee 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 steps must be carried
out for the connection: – Switch on the ignition. – 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 phone
announces
Skoda UHV
, enter the PIN°
1234
within 30 seconds and
wait, until the connection is established.
13)
13)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.
