DAB station tracking
When a DAB transmitter is a part of several broadcast stations and if the cur-
rent station group is not available on any other frequency, then when the sig-
nal is poor, the same station will be searched in another channel group.
Automatic change from DAB to FM
With bad DAB reception the device tries to find an FM transmitter.
The station name is followed by ( 
) while the station is being received on the
FM band. The ( 
) marker disappears when the relevant DAB station can be re-
ceived again.
If a DAB station is also not available in the FM band due to poor reception, the
device will be switched to mute.Media

Telephone
Introductory information
Introduction to the subject
This chapter covers the operation of a Bluetooth ®
device connected to the tel-
ephone.
If a telephone is connected to the device with multiple SIM cards, then calls
can be accepted by all SIM cards of the connected phone.
For outgoing calls, it depends on the type of connected telephone, either only
the primary SIM card or one of the other SIM cards can be selected.
Phonebox
The storage compartment in the front centre console can be equipped with
the Phonebox function » Vehicle - Owner´s Manual .
If a telephone is directed, with its rear side downwards, on the pad in the stor-
age compartment, the phone signal is amplified by the roof antenna.
Telephones that support the Qi standard for wireless charging, can also be charged wirelessly in the storage compartment. At the start of the wireless
charging, the appropriate message appears on the device screen.
WARNINGThe general binding country-specific regulations for operating mobile
phones in the vehicle must be observed.

Pair and connect
Introduction to the subject
The range of the connection to the hands-free system is limited to the passen-
ger compartment.
To pair a telephone with the device using Bluetooth ®
, it is necessary to pair
the two devices.
The pairing process is dependent on whether another telephone is connected
or not connected to the device at the time of pairing.
A telephone and a Bluetooth ®
player can be connected to the device. The tele-
phone can also be a player at the same time.
Up to 20 external devices can be paired with the device. After reaching the
maximum number, the pairing of the next external device will replace that of
the device that has not been used for the longest period of time.
A connection with a telephone that is already paired does not require pairing. It is enough to find the telephone that has been paired in the list of paired
phones and make the connection.
WARNINGPair and connect a telephone to the device only when the vehicle is at a
standstill - there is risk of accident!
conditions for pairing
The telephone can be paired with the device under the following conditions. The ignition is switched on.
The Bluetooth ®
function of the device and the telephone is switched on.
The visibility of the device and the telephone is switched on.
The telephone is within range of the Bluetooth ®
signal of the device.
The telephone is compatible with the device.
The telephone is connected to an external Bluetooth ®
device (e.g. “head-
set”).
The pairing can be initiated from the device or from the telephone.
During the pairing and connection process, information messages are dis-
played in the device screen and the telephone screen. These messages must
be observed and if necessary confirmed (e.g. enabling the contact import or
connecting the Bluetooth ®
player among others).
Please refer to the compatibility of telephones as well as updates which are available for the Bluetooth ®
device, and are available on the ŠKODA Internet
pages.
