The Telephone menu is available when the following conditions are met: The ignition is switched on.
The Bluetooth ®
function on the device is switched on.
After the device is switched on, the system attempts to connect to the most re- cently connected telephone 1)
.
If a telephone is connected to the device and the device is turned off, the connec- tion to the telephone is not lost. The connection is only lost after switching off
the ignition (for vehicles with the system KESSY after switching off the ignition
and opening the driver's door).
WARNING■ The national regulations for using a mobile phone in a vehicle must be ob-
served.■
If a mobile phone or a two-way radio system is operated in a vehicle without
an external aerial or an external aerial which has been installed incorrectly,
this can increase the strength of the electromagnetic field inside the vehicle.
■
Two-way radio systems, mobile phones or mounts must not be installed on
airbag covers or within the immediate deployment range of the airbags.
■
Never leave a telephone in the deployment area of an airbag, on a seat, on
the dash panel or in another area, from which it can be thrown during a sud- den braking manoeuvre, an accident or a collision - risk of injury. There are
storage compartments with lids and if necessary there is the multimedia stor-
age compartments to hold this » Vehicle owner's manual , chapter Practical
equipment.
■
Before transport of the vehicle by air, the Bluetooth ®
function must be
switched off by a specialist company.
CAUTION
■ In areas with no signal and possibly in tunnels, garages and subways a tele-
phone conversation can be interrupted and no telephone connection can be es-
tablished - not even in an emergency!■
The range of the Bluetooth ®
connection to the hands-free system is limited to
the vehicle interior. The range is dependent on local factors, e.g. obstacles be-
tween the devices and mutual interferences with other devices. If your telephone
is in a jacket pocket, for example, this can lead to difficulties when establishing a connection with the device or transferring data.

Introductory information
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 41.
The device allows for a wireless connection to the telephone. Your telephone can
be operated from the device. 

1)
With some phones, it is necessary to set the connection to the device as "authorised" in order for the
automatic connection to be successful. If this is not set, the system will prompt you for a confirma-
tion each time you attempt to connect to the telephone.
41Communication

ŠKODA permits the operation of telephones and two-way radio systems with a
professionally installed external aerial and a maximum transmission power of up to 10 watts.
Please ask at a specialist workshop about installing and operating telephones and two-way radio systems that have a transmission power of more than 10 W.
Operating telephones or two-way radio systems may interfere with the function- ality of the electronic systems in your vehicle.
The reasons for this are as follows:
› no external aerial;
› external aerial incorrectly installed;
› transmission power greater than 10 watts.
Note
■
We recommend that the installation of telephones and two-way radio systems
in a vehicle be carried out by a specialist garage.■
The telephone functions are dependent on the mobile network operators, as
well as the telephone being used. Further information is available from the mo-
bile network operator or to refer to the manual of the telephone.
■
In signal-free areas reception can be disturbed or a call may be disconnected.
■
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. In exceptional
cases, electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals and tele-
phone service may be disrupted.
