WARNING (Continued)■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
accident or a collision — risk of injury.■
The Bluetooth ®
function must be switched off by a specialist company
before the vehicle can be transported by air.
Note
■ We recommend that the installation of mobile phones and two-way radio
systems 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 Part- ner whether your telephone is compatible with the GSM II universal telephone
fitting.
■
The range of the Bluetooth ®
connection to the hands-free system is restric-
ted to the vehicle interior. The range is dependent on local factors, e.g. obsta-
cles between 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 establishing a connection with the hands-free-system or transferring
data.
Introductory information
Read and observe
on page 90 first.
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 func-
tions.

› Convenience operation of the telephone via the multifunction steering
wheel » page 92 .

› Music playback from the telephone or other multimedia units
» page 96.
All communication between a mobile phone and your vehicle's hands-free sys- tem is established with the help of Bluetooth ®
technology.
Phone Phonebook
Read and observe
on page 90 first.
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
phone book 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 af-
ter the last update was completed, is available. Newly stored telephone num-
bers are only 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 tele-
phone 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 com-
plete.

If there is no free space available to create a new user profile, delete an exist- ing 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
only one mobile phone can communicate with the hands-free system.
The visibility of the hands-free system is automatically switched off 3 minutes
after the ignition is switched on and is also deactivated when the mobile
phone has connected to the hands-free system.
Restoring the visibility of the hands-free system
If you have not managed to connect your mobile phone with the hands-free
system within 3 minutes of switching on the ignition, the visibility of the
hands-free system can be re-established for 3 minutes in one of the following
ways.

ic connection has been established.
Disconnecting the connection
The connection to a connected mobile phone can be ended in the following
ways.

3)
Some mobile phones have a menu, in which the authorisation for establishing a Bluetooth ®
connection
is completed by inputting a PIN number. If the authorisation input is required, it must always be per-
formed when re-establishing the Bluetooth connection.
