■

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

®

■

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.

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-

bers are only shown after the updating has ended.

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

The internal phonebook provides 2 500 free memory locations. Each contact

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.

If the number of contacts loaded exceeds 2 500, the phone book is not com-

plete.

The universal telephone preinstallation GSM II comprises the following func-

tions.
