The destination address must be defined by saying the town and street name
and then the house number step-by-step in accordance with the system an-
nouncements. The navigation data must contain the house number.
The house number and a further address supplement in the form of a number can be said where necessary. The system will then offer the number combina-

First and foremost, pay attention to the safety instructions » page 4 , Impor-
tant notes .WARNING■
Never place signal sources close to airbags. Loose objects could hit a de-
ployed airbag and injure occupants – danger of death!■
Never place signal sources on the dashboard. Loose objects can be
thrown forward during a sudden manoeuvre or in case of an accident and
can injure the occupants.
■
Do not have signal sources in your hand or on your knees while driving.
Loose objects can be thrown forward during a sudden manoeuvre or in
case of an accident and can injure the occupants.
■
Always route the connection cable of the external signal source such that
does not restrict you when driving.

If the ejected disc is not taken out within 10 seconds, it will be retracted again for safety reasons. However, the unit will not change to the CD source.
WARNING■ The CD/DVD player is a laser product.■On the manufacturing date, this unit was classified as a class 1 laser prod-
uct in accordance with the national/international standards
DIN EN 60825-1: 2008-05 and DHHS Rules 21 CFR, sub-chapter J The laser used in this class 1 laser product is so weak that there is no risk of danger
when operated correctly.■
This product is designed so that the laser is restricted to the inside of the
unit. However, the installed laser could be classified in a higher class were
the housing to be removed. For this reason, never remove the housing of
the unit.
CAUTION
■ Be sure to wait until the CD has been fully ejected before you try to insert a
new CD. Otherwise you can damage the drive inside the unit.■
Insert into the CD drive only original audio CDs or standard CD-R and CD-RW
discs.
■
Do not stick anything to the CD!
■
Outside temperatures that are either too high or too low might cause the
unit to be temporarily unavailable. The unit switches to the last active menu.
Note
■ After pressing the symbol button  it takes a few seconds for the CD to be
ejected.■
Poor or unpaved road surfaces and severe vibrations may cause the CD to
jump.
■
The device may be affected by damp (condensation) in cold or humid condi-
tions. This can lead to playback jumps or impair the play function. Wait until
the moisture has evaporated if this happens.
■
If the CD is physically damaged, is not readable or is inserted incorrectly, the
following message is displayed: Error: CD. Check the CD and insert properly in-
to the drive. 

Settings

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
recently connected mobile phone 1)
.
If a telephone is connected to the device and the device is turned off, the con-
nection to the phone is not dropped. The connection is lost after switching off
the ignition (for vehicles with KESSY system 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
observed.■
If a mobile phone or a two-way radio system is operated in a vehicle with-
out an external aerial or an external aerial which has been installed incor-
rectly, 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.
WARNING (Continued)■ Never leave a mobile phone on a seat, on the dashboard or anywhere,
from which it can be thrown during a sudden braking manoeuvre, an acci-
dent or a collision - risk of injury. Use storage compartments with lid or the
multimedia holder for safe storage » Vehicle Owner's Manual , chap-
ter 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
established - 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
between the devices and mutual interferences with other devices. If your mo-
bile phone is in a jacket pocket, for example, this can lead to difficulties when
establishing a connection with the device or transferring data.
Introductory information
Read and observe
and on page 33 first.
The device allows for a wireless connection to the mobile phone. Your mobile
phone can be operated from this unit.
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
functionality of the electronic systems in your vehicle. 
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 confirmation
each time you attempt to connect to the mobile phone.
33Communication

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 mobile phones and two-way radio
systems in a vehicle be carried out by a specialist garage.■
The phone features depend on the mobile network operators and on the
phone being used. Further information is available from the mobile network
operator or refer to your phone manual
■
In signal-free areas reception can be interrupted or the call disconnected.
■
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. In exceptional
cases, electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals and
telephone service may be disrupted.

Front centre console: Phonebox
Read and observe
and on page 33 first.
At the bottom of the storage compartment in the front centre console there is
an induction plate connected to the GSM roof antenna - the Phonebox.
Function
When the mobile phone is inserted into the Phonebox, the phone signal in-
creases in strength by about 20%. This reduces the level of phone battery dis-
charge and the electromagnetic radiation inside the vehicle.
Inserting the mobile phone into the Phonebox

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.CAUTION■ Protective cases or cases around the mobile phone placed in the storage
compartment may interfere with the phone signal strength.■
Metallic objects such as coins or keys under the mobile phone can affect the
phone signal strength.
