Mobile phones and two-way radio systems
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.
The possible reasons for this are: › No external aerial.
› External aerial incorrectly installed.
› transmission power greater than 10 watts.
WARNING■
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.■
Do not attach objects such as mobile telephone holders, etc. to the cov-
ers of the airbag modules or within their immediate vicinity.
■
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.
■
Before transport of the vehicle by air, the Bluetooth ®
function must be
switched off by a specialist company.

Phone PhonebookRead and observe
and on page 114 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 telephone's first connection to the hands-free system, the phone
book from the phone and the SIM card loads into the hands-free memory.
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 period, the available phone book is the one
stored at the previous update. Newly stored telephone numbers 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.
GSM II
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.
GSM III
The internal phonebook provides 2 000 free memory locations. Each contact
can contain up to 5 numbers.
If the mobile phone's telephone book has more than 2,000 contacts, the fol- lowing message will appear in the MAXI DOTdisplay:

tem is established with the help of Bluetooth ®
technology.
Note
The following guidelines must be observed » page 113, Mobile phones and
two-way radio systems .
Connecting the mobile phone to the hands-free system
To connect a mobile phone with the hands-free system, the two devices must
be paired. Detailed information on this is provided in the operating instructions
for your mobile phone.
The following steps must be carried out for the connection.
›
Activate Bluetooth ®
and the visibility of your mobile phone on your tele-
phone.
116Using the system

During the pairing process, 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 reestablished for 3 minutes in the following ways.
› By turning the ignition off and on.
› By turning voice control off and on.
› In the MAXI DOT display under menu item
Bluetooth - Visibility .
Creating a connection with an already paired mobile phone

the already paired mobile phone 2)
. Check on your mobile phone if the automat-
ic connection has been established.
Disconnecting the connection
› By withdrawing the ignition key.
› By disconnecting the hands-free system in the mobile phone.
› By disconnecting from the user in the MAXI DOT display under the menu item
Bluetooth - User .
Solving connection problems
If the hands-free system reports No paired phone found, check the operating
status of the mobile phone.
› Is the mobile phone switched on?
› Is the PIN code entered?

All communication between a telephone and the hands-free system of your vehicle can only be established with the help of the following profiles of Blue-
tooth ®
technology.
rSAP - Remote SIM access profile
After connecting the telephone with the hands-free system via the rSAP pro-
file, the telephone deregisters from the GSM network, and communication
with the network is only enabled by the hands-free system via the vehicle's
external aerial. In the telephone only the interface for Bluetooth ®
remains ac-
tive. In this case, you can only use the mobile phone to disconnect from the
hands-free system, deactivate the Bluetooth ®
connection or dial the emergen-
cy number 112 (only valid in some countries).
HFP - Hands Free Profile
After connecting the telephone with the hands-free system via the HFP pro-
file, the telephone continues to use its GMS module and the internal antenna
to communicate with the GSM network.
118Using the system
NoteThe following guidelines must be observed » page 113, Mobile phones and
two-way radio systems .
Connecting the phone to the hands-free system
To connect a mobile phone with the hands-free system, it is necessary to in-
terconnect the telephone and hands-free system. Detailed information on this
is provided in the operating instructions for your mobile phone. The following
steps must be carried out for the connection.

UMTS/3G technologies.
An Internet can only be established via a telephone which is connected via the rSAP profile.
The procedure for connecting to the Internet can vary depending on the type
and version of the operating system as well as the type of the device to be
connected. Successfully connecting to the internet requires appropriate
knowledge of the operating system for connecting the device .
