Telephone
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with telephone
You can operate various telephone functions easi-
ly through the MMI in your vehicle.
Depending on the country and the vehicle equip-
ment, the following options may be available:
— Connecting a cell phone with Bluetooth
— Using two telephones
— Using the Audi phone box
ZA\ WARNING
— Medical experts warn that mobile devices
can interfere with the function of pacemak-
ers. Always maintain a minimum distance of
about 7.9 inches (20 cm) between the mo-
bile device antennas and the pacemaker.
— Do not carry the mobile device in a pocket
directly over the pacemaker when the
phone is switched on.
— Switch the mobile device off immediately
if you suspect it may be interfering with
the pacemaker.
— Do not use the voice recognition system*
=> page 122 in emergencies because your
voice may change in stressful situations. The
system may take longer to dial the number
or may not be able to dial it at all. Dial the
emergency number manually.
— Switch your mobile device off in areas where
there is a risk of an explosion. These loca-
tions are not always clearly marked. This
may include gas stations, fuel and chemical
storage facilities or transport vehicles, or lo-
cations where fuel vapors (such as propane
or gasoline vapor in vehicles or buildings),
chemicals or large quantities of dust parti-
cles (such as flour, sawdust or metal) may
be present in the air. This also applies to all
other locations where you would normally
turn your vehicle motor off.
— The demands of traffic require your full at-
tention. Always read the chapter
= page 110, Traffic safety information.

Applies to: vehicles with Audi phone box
Fig. 130 Storage compartment in the center armrest: Audi
phone box with connections
You can charge your mobile device battery using
the Audi phone box. You can make calls through
the exterior antenna* on the vehicle. Using the
external antenna* helps when there is a low sig-
nal and also provides better reception quality.
The options below are available:
— Connecting to the external vehicle antenna*:
lay the cell phone on the center of the cell
phone symbol in the Audi phone box with the
display facing up > fig. 130. Make sure there
are no objects between the Audi phone box and
the mobile device.
— Charging a cell phone wirelessly: place a Qi-ca-
pable | cell phone centered on the symbol in
the Audi phone box with the display facing up
=> fig. 130. The cell phone will charge.
— Charging a mobile device using the USB
adapter: connect your mobile device to the
Audi music interface using a USB adapter cable
@. You can charge your mobile device using
specific USB adapters > page 775, fig. 152.
