First and foremost, pay attention to the safety instructions » page 4 , Impor-
tant notes .
The device allows analogue radio reception of FM and AM frequency ranges as
well as DAB digital radio reception.
Radio reception DAB allows multiple stations to be transmitted in a single fre-
quency in the form of a so-called ensemble. It also allows for the transmission
of additional data and information (e.g. messages, sport, weather, warnings,
etc.).
CAUTION
■ Car parks, tunnels, tall buildings or mountains can interfere with the radio
signal even causing it to fail completely.■
In countries where the RDS function is not supported sufficiently, we recom-
mend turning off the AF and RDS settings. Otherwise, these settings can af-
fect the functionality of the radio.
■
For vehicles with window antennas, if the windows have foil stuck to them
or metal-coated stickers this may cause you to experience some interference.

DAB programme tracking
If a DAB station is a member of several sender groups, when the signal is poor,
the same station is searched in a different sender group.
Auto-change DAB -FM
If the DAB signal is poor, the unit will try to find a corresponding FM station for
the DAB station you are currently listening to.
For auto-change to work, the DAB and FM stations must send a sender ID.
› While the station is being received on the FM band, (
) is displayed after the
station name. The () marker disappears when the relevant DAB station can
be received again 
).
› If a DAB station is also not available in the FM band due to poor reception,
the device will be switched to mute.
› If you do not want automatic station change (e.g. when driving through tun-
nels, when reception may be lost temporarily), you can deactivate this func-
tion.
L-band
For the DAB radio reception in different countries, different frequency ranges
are used. In some countries the DAB radio reception only in the so-called L-
band.
› If you have any problems with the DAB wireless reception it is necessary to
ensure that the DAB Automatic tuning in L-band is on.
› If no L-band DAB radio reception is possible in the country then it is better to
leave this menu item turned off. The channel scan is therefore faster.25Radio

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.
The visibility of the mobile phone is switched on » page 20.
The visibility of the telephone is switched on.
The phone is within range of the Bluetooth ®
signal.
The phone is supported by the device.
After the device is switched on, the system attempts to connect to the most
recently connected telephone 1)
.
If a telephone is connected to the device and the device is turned off, the con-
nection 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 ig-
nition 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.
■
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
sudden braking manoeuvre, an accident or a collision - risk of injury. There
are storage compartments with lids and if necessary there is the multime-
dia storage compartments to hold this » 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 tele-
phone is in a jacket pocket, for example, this can lead to difficulties when es-
tablishing a connection with the device or transferring data.
Note
Available updates for Bluetooth ®
devices as well as information about the
phone support can be obtained from the ŠKODA website www.infotain-
ment.skoda-auto.com .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 telephone.
