Note
Damage within the meaning of the warranty
must not be the result of improper
handling of the system or from unprofessi
onal repair attempts. It is also essential
that there is no external damage.Device operationThe unit should only be used, if the traffic situation permits it. The volume settings must be selected in
such a way that audible signals from the
outside, e.g. a Martins horn from utility
vehicles (police cars, ambulances and fire
brigade), can be heard at all times.
WARNING
Please concentrate fully at
all times on your driving! As the driver you are
fully responsible for road safety. Only use the functions of the radio in such a way that you are always in full contro
l of your vehicle in all traffic situa-
tions!
Caution

Inserting a second CD while a CD is being ejected can destroy the CD drive in
the unit. Please note that the CD ejecti
on lasts a few seconds after pressing the
Eject key
. During this time the lock in fron
t of the CD case is open. It is essen-
tial that you wait until the CD has been fully ejected before you try to insert a new CD.•
Press the buttons and the keys of the uni
t gently in order to avoid damaging
them. Gentle pressure on the appropriate key is sufficient to operate the unit. Please note that the control buttons have
predetermined breaking points, in order
to reduce the risk of injury.•
Do not use any pointed or sharp-edged objects to operate the touch-screen.
Slight finger pressure sufficient to oper
ate the equipment. A text in the display,
which cannot be called up by pressing the
button, is therefore not available at that
time.
Using the displayCarefully handle the display because dent
s and scratches can occur through pres-
sure of the finger or contact with sharp objects. The display can be cleaned wi
th a soft cloth and finger marks can be wiped away
with pure alcohol.
Note
Do not use solvent such as turpentine or
petrol as they will corrode the display
surface.Anti-theft protectionAnti-theft codingYour radio is equipped with
a convenience coding. If the radio is being operated for
the first time, the safety code is not only st
ored in the radio but also in the vehicle.
After disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, first of all switch on the ignition and then the radio. If you wish to install the radio in another
vehicle, the safety code must be entered.
In this case, please do not hesitate to co
ntact an authorised Škoda Service Partner
or a Škoda importer. As the unit only functions afte
r entering the safety code, this practically excludes its
use after a theft - a contribution to increased anti-theft safety.
Note
The code is stored in the instrument cluste
r. This ensures that it is automatically
decoded (convenience coding). Manual
input of the code is normally not
necessary.

Formation of condensation When it is cold and after rain showers,
moisture can deposit in the CD drive
(condensation). This can effect the CD ju
mp or impair the play function. In such
cases wait until the moisture has dissipated. Notes for the care of the CDs If a CD is soiled, please never clean the CD in the direction of a circle but rather from inside to outside with a soft lint-free cloth. In case of severe layers of dir t we recom- m e n d t o c l e a n t h e C D w i th a c o m m e rc i a l l y a v a i l a b l e C D c l e a ne r. A l s o i n th i s c a s e d o not clean the CD in the direction of a circ
le but rather from inside to outside and
then let it dry off.

lly and always be stored in a protective
