First and foremost, pay attention to the safety instructions » page 4 , Important
notes .
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.
ŠKODA 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.
Please ask at a specialist workshop about installing and operating mobile phones
and two-way radio systems that have a transmission power of more than 10 W.
Operating mobile phones or two-way radio systems may interfere with the func-
tionality of the electronic systems in your vehicle.
The reasons for this are as follows:
› no external aerial;
› incorrectly installed external aerial;
› transmission power greater than 10 watts.
After the device is switched on, the system attempts to connect to the most re-
cently connected mobile phone 1)
.
WARNING■ The national legal regulations for using a mobile phone in a vehicle must be
observed.■
If a mobile phone or a two-way radio system is operated in a vehicle without
an external aerial or with an incorrectly installed external aerial, this can in-
crease 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 mobile phone on a seat, on the dash panel or in any area
where it can become a projectile during a sudden braking manoeuvre, an acci-
dent or a collision — risk of injury.
■
The Bluetooth ®
function must be switched off by a specialist workshop be-
fore the vehicle is transported by air.
CAUTION
The range of the Bluetooth ®
connection to the hands-free system is restricted to
the vehicle interior. The range is dependent on local conditions, e.g. obstacles be-
tween the devices and mutual interferences with other devices. If your mobile
phone is in a jacket pocket, for example, this can lead to difficulties when estab-
lishing a connection with the hands-free-system or transferring data.
Note
We recommend that the installation of mobile phones and two-way radio sys-
tems in a vehicle be carried out by a specialist garage.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 mobile phone.

Phonebox
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings
on page 24.
At the bottom of the storage compartment in the front center console is an in-
duction plate connected to a GSM roof antenna roof - the Phonebox.
Function
When the mobile phone is inserted into the Phonebox, the phone signal increases in strength by about 20%. This reduces the level of phone battery discharge and
the electromagnetic radiation inside the vehicle.
Inserting the mobile phone into the Phonebox›Press on the edge of the lid A in the direction of the arrow, and open the stor-
age compartment.›
Place the mobile phone in the storage compartment
B
with its back on the in-
duction panel.
›
Press on the edge of the lid
A
in the opposite direction from the arrow, and
close the storage compartment » .
The Phonebox cannot be used as an alternative to connecting the mobile phone
with the device.
WARNINGFor safety reasons, the storage compartment must always be closed when
driving.
Note
■ Protective cases or cases around the mobile phone placed in the storage com-
partment may interfere with the phone signal strength.■
Metallic objects such as coins or keys under the mobile phone can affect the
phone signal strength.
