This function is only supported by some mobile phones. ÐPhone Phonebook
A phone phonebook is part of the hands-free system. This phone phonebook can
be used depending on the type of mobile phone.
After the first connection of the telephone, the system begins to load the phone
book from the phone and the SIM card into the memory of the control unit.
Each time the telephone has established a new connection with the hands-free
system, an update of the relevant phone book is performed. The updating can
take a few minutes. During this time the phone book, which was stored after the
last update was completed, is available. Newly stored telephone numbers are on-
ly shown after the updating has ended.
The update is interrupted if a telephone event (e.g. incoming or outgoing call,
voice control dialogue) occurs during the updating procedure. After the telephone
event has ended, the updating starts anew.
GSM II
The internal phonebook provides 2
500 free memory locations. Each contact can
contain up to 4 numbers.
On vehicles fitted with the Columbus navigation system, a maximum of 1 200 tel-
ephone contacts are shown on the display of this appliance.
If the number of contacts loaded exceeds 2 500, the phone book is not complete. GSM III
The internal phonebook provides 2
000 free memory locations. Each contact can
contain up to 5 numbers.
On vehicles fitted with the Columbus navigation system, a maximum of 1 000 tel-
ephone contacts are shown on the display of this appliance.
If the telephone book of the mobile phone contains more than 2 000 contacts,
the system announces during the download Phone book not fully loaded.Ð Universal telephone preinstallation GSM II

All communication between a mobile phone and your vehicle's hands-free system
is established with the help of Bluetooth ®
technology. The adapter serves only
for charging the telephone and for transmitting the signal to the vehicle's exter-
nal aerial. Note
The following guidelines must be observed » page 126, Mobile phones and two-
way radio systems. ÐConnecting the mobile phone to the hands-free system
To connect a mobile phone with the hands-free system, the two devices must be
paired. Detailed information on this is provided in the operating instructions for
your mobile phone. The following steps must be carried out for the connection.

During the connecting procedure, no other mobile phone may be connected with
the hands-free system.
Up to four mobile phones can be paired with the hands-free system, whereby on-
ly one mobile phone can communicate with the hands-free system. The visibility of the hands-free system is automatically switched off 3
minutes af-
ter the ignition is switched on and is also deactivated when the mobile phone has
connected to the hands-free system.

system can be reestablished for 3 minutes in the following ways.
› By turning the ignition off and on.
› By turning voice control off and on.
› Via the information display in the menu item Bluetooth

version on the mobile phone, an automatically generated 6-digit PIN is
either displayed or the PIN 1234 has to be entered manually.
2) Some mobile phones have a menu, in which the authorisation for establishing a Bluetooth ®
connec-
tion is completed by inputting a code. If the authorisation input is required, it must always be per-
formed when re-establishing the Bluetooth connection.

Note
■ If a suitable adapter is available for your mobile phone, only use your mobile
phone in the adapter inserted in the telephone mount so that the radiation in the
vehicle drops to a minimum. ■ Placing the mobile phone in the adapter inserted in the telephone mount en-
sures optimum sending and receiving power. ÐInserting the mobile phone and adapter
Fig. 130
Universal telephone preinstalla-
tion
Only one telephone mount is factory-fitted. An adapter for the mobile phone can
be purchased from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
Inserting the adapter and mobile phone › First of all push the adapter A
in the direction of the arrow
» Fig. 130 up to the
stop into the mount. Then press the adapter slightly downwards, until it locks
securely into position.
› Insert the mobile phone into the adapter A
(as specified in the instructions
from the manufacturer of the adapter).
Removing the adapter and mobile phone
› Simultaneously press the locks on the mount

Taking the mobile phone out of the adapter during the call can lead to interrup-
tion of the connection. When removing the mobile phone, the connection to the
factory-fitted antenna is interrupted, which reduces the quality of the transmit-
ting and receiving signal. The charging of the mobile phone battery is also inter-
rupted. Ð Managing telephone calls with the help of the adapter

All communication between a telephone and the hands-free system of your vehi-
cle can only be established with the help of the following profiles of Bluetooth
®
technology.
rSAP - Remote SIM access profile
After connecting the telephone with the hands-free system via the rSAP profile,
the telephone deregisters from the GSM network, and communication with the
network is only enabled by the control unit via the vehicle's external aerial. In the
telephone only the interface for Bluetooth ®
remains active. In this case, you can
only use the mobile phone to disconnect from the hands-free system, deactivate
the Bluetooth ®
connection or dial the emergency number
112 (only valid in some
countries).
HFP - Hands Free Profile
After connecting the telephone with the hands-free system via the HFP profile,
the telephone continues to use its GMS module and the internal antenna to com-
municate with the GSM network. Note
The following guidelines must be observed » page 126, Mobile phones and two-
way radio systems. ÐConnecting the phone to the hands-free system
To connect a mobile phone with the hands-free system, it is necessary to inter-
connect the telephone and hands-free system. Detailed information on this is
