Mobile phones and tw
o-way radio systems
The installation of a mobile phone and two-way radio system in a vehicle should be carried out by a specialist garage. Mobile phones send and receive radio wave
s during a conversation as well as in
standby mode. Radio waves can be harmful
to the human body if their frequency
exceeds certain limit values. 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 yourself at
a specialist garage about the possibilites to
assemble and operate systems
which have a power output of more than 10 W. They
will inform you which technical possibilit
ies exist for retrofitting mobile phones.
When using a mobille phone inside the vehicl
e, which is not inserted into the phone
adapter, and thus has no connection to the
external aerial, the electromagnetic radia-
tion can exceed the current limit value. We therefore recommend to operate a mobile phone in the vehicle only when it is conne
cted to an external aerial via the phone
adapter. This improves the quality of the connection. Operation of mobile phones or two-way ra
dio systems may interfere with functioning
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.
WARNING
•
If a mobile phone or a two-way radio
system is operated in the vehicle
without using a special exte
rnal aerial or an extern
al aerial 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 accident.
•
Never leave a mobile phone on a seat, on
the dash panel or in another area,
from which it can be thrown during a sudden braking manoeuver, an accident or a collision. In this case, the occupants of the vehicle might be injured.
Note
Observe the country-specific regulations for the use of mobile phones in vehicles.Universal telephone preinstallation GSM II*IntroductionThe telephone preinstallation GSM ll is a complete and built-in “handsfree-system”, it provides a voice operated convenience mode via the multifunction steering wheel* or the touchscreen of the radio*
or the navigation system*.
All communication between a telephone and
the handsfree-system of your vehicle
can only be established with the help of the Bluetooth
® technology. The adapter*
serves only for charging the telephone and fo
r transmitting the signal to the external
aerial of the vehicle. To ensure an optimum signal transmission, always leave the telephone with the adapter* in the telephone mount. A phone phonebook is part of the mobile ph
one preinstallation with voice control. In
the phone phonebook there are 1 500 free me
mory locations available. This phone
phonebook is independent of the a
ppliance used for the mobile phone.
If the system answers with the voice response “
Telephone is not ready
”, please check
the operating state of the telephone as follows:
a)Only valid for the navigation system Columbus.

WARNING
Pay attention primarily to the traffic situation! As the driver you are fully responsible for road safety. Use the teleph
one 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 du
ring 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.

Should you have any questions, please
contact an authorised Škoda Service
Par tner.Bluetooth
®
The Bluetooth
® technology serves as cableless connection of a mobile
phone to a hands-free sy
stem 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 infor- mation on this is provided in the operatin
g 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 estab-
lished.
12)
While connecting the mobile phone with th
e hands-free system by means of Blue-
tooth
®, no other phone can be connected with the hands-free system via Bluetooth
®.
Up to three mobile phones
can be connected to the hand
s-free system by means of
Bluetooth
®, whereby only one mobile phone can communicate via Bluetooth
® with
the hands-free system. If a fourth 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 peri
od, is disconnected.
Establish Bluetooth
® connection
After switching on the ignition, the Bluet
ooth connection is auto
matically established
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 disconnected.
WARNING
In the event of air transport, the Bluetooth
® function of the handsfree-system
must be switched off
by a specialist garage!
Note
•
Not valid for all mobile phones which enable a communication via Bluetooth
®.
You can ask at a Škoda Service Partner if
your telephone is compatible with the
universal telephone preinstallation GSM II.•
Note that the range of the Bluetooth
® connection to the ha
ndsfree-system is
limited to the vehicle interior. The range is
dependent on local factors, e.g. obstacles
between the devices and interferences with othe
r devices. If your mobile phone is e.g.
12)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 necessary, it must always be performed when re-e
stablishing the Bluetooth connection.
