with a professionally installed external aerial and a maximum transmission  
power of up to 10 watts.  
Please consult a ŠKODA Partner for information about the possibility of instal-  
ling and operating mobile phones and two-way radio systems with a transmis-  
sion power of more than 10 W.

WARNING (Continued)  
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.  
Music playback from the telephone or other multimedia units » page 98.  
All communication between a mobile phone and your vehicle's hands-free sys-  
®
tem is established with the help of Bluetooth technology. The adapter serves  
only for charging the telephone and for transmitting the signal to the vehicle's  
external aerial.  
Note  
Never leave a mobile phone 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.  
®
The Bluetooth function must be switched off by a specialist workshop  
before the vehicle is transported by air.  
Phone Phonebook  
A phone phonebook is part of the hands-free system. This phone phonebook  
can be used depending on the type of mobile phone.  
Note  
We recommend that mobile phones and two-way radio systems be installed  
After the first connection of the telephone, the system begins to load the

in the a vehicle by a specialist workshop.  
®
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  
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-

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.  
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.  
Introductory information

can contain up to 4 numbers.  
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 adapter, radio or the navigation system.
