The device allows for a wireless connection to the telephone. Your telephonecan be operated from the device.
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 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.
Note
■
We recommend that the installation of telephones and two-way radio sys-
tems 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
mobile 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
telephone service may be disrupted.
