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 consult a ŠKODA Partner for information about the possibility of installing and operating mobile phones and two-way radio systems with 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;
› external aerial incorrectly installed;
› transmission power greater than 10 watts.
WARNING■
Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver, you are fully re-
sponsible for the operation of your vehicle.■
The national regulations for using a mobile phone in a vehicle must be ob-
served.
WARNING (Continued)■ 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 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 company be-
fore the vehicle can be transported by air.
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.■
Not all mobile phones that enable Bluetooth ®
communication are compatible
with the universal telephone preinstallation GSM II. You can ask a ŠKODA Partner
whether your telephone is compatible with the GSM II universal telephone fitting.
■
The range of the Bluetooth ®
connection to the hands-free system is restricted
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 mobilephone 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.
Introductory information
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 85.
The universal telephone preinstallation GSM II (hands-free system) includes a
convenience mode for the mobile phone via voice control, the multifunction
steering wheel, the radio or navigation system.
The universal telephone preinstallation GSM II comprises the following functions. › Phone Phonebook

85Communication and multimedia
All communication between a mobile phone and your vehicle's hands-free systemis established with the help of Bluetooth ®
technology.
Phone Phonebook
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 85.
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 phonebook 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.
The internal phonebook provides 2 500 free memory locations. Each contact can contain up to 4 numbers.
If the number of contacts loaded exceeds 2 500, the phone book is not complete.

user profile.
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.

Dialogue – version 1Fig. 83
Multifunction steering wheel: Voice control
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 90.
The period of time during which the system is ready to receive voice commands and to carry them out is called "dialogue". The system gives audible feedback and
guides you through the relevant functions if necessary.
Optimum understanding of the voice commands depends on several factors.
› Speak at a normal volume without intonation or excessive pauses.
› Avoid poor pronunciation.
› Close the doors, windows and sliding roof in order to reduce or eliminate dis-
turbing noise from outside.
› It is recommended to speak louder at higher speeds, so that your voice is louder
than the increased surrounding noise.
› During the dialogue, limit background noise in the vehicle, e.g. passengers talk-
ing at the same time.
› Do not speak when the system is making an announcement.
The microphone for voice control is housed in the moulded headliner and directed
towards the driver and front passenger. Therefore, the driver and the front pas-
senger can operate the equipment.
1)
On vehicles fitted with the Amundsen+ navigation system, this function can be accessed via the navi-
gation system menu; refer to the » operating instructions for the Amundsen+ navigation system .
90Using the system
Note■The dialogue is immediately terminated in the event of an incoming call.■The voice control is only possible in vehicles fitted with a multifunction steering
wheel with telephone control.
