Some connected audio sources may not be recognised and cannot be charged.
The charging of the connected audio source is automatically stopped after
switching off the ignition.
CAUTION

The Telephone menu is available when the following conditions are met.
The ignition is switched on.
The Bluetooth ®
function on the device is switched on.
After the device is switched on, the system attempts to connect to the most
recently connected mobile phone 1)
.
If a telephone is connected to the device and the device is turned off, the con-
nection to the phone is not dropped. The connection is lost after switching off
the ignition (for vehicles with KESSY system after switching off the ignition
and opening the driver's door).
WARNING■ 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.
WARNING (Continued)■ Never leave a mobile phone on a seat, on the dashboard or anywhere,
from which it can be thrown during a sudden braking manoeuvre, an acci-
dent or a collision - risk of injury. Use storage compartments with lid or the
multimedia holder for safe storage » Vehicle Owner's Manual , chap-
ter Practical equipment.■
Before transport of the vehicle by air, the Bluetooth ®
function must be
switched off by a specialist company.
CAUTION
■ In areas with no signal and possibly in tunnels, garages and subways a tele-
phone conversation can be interrupted and no telephone connection can be
established - not even in an emergency!■
The range of the Bluetooth ®
connection to the hands-free system is limited
to the vehicle interior. The range is dependent on local factors, e.g. obstacles
between the devices and mutual interferences with other devices. If your mo-
bile phone is in a jacket pocket, for example, this can lead to difficulties when
establishing a connection with the device or transferring data.
Introductory information
Read and observe
and on page 33 first.
The device allows for a wireless connection to the mobile phone. Your mobile
phone can be operated from this unit.
ŠKODA permits the operation of mobile phones and two-way radio systems
with a professionally installed external aerial and a maximum transmission
power of up to 10 watts.
Please ask at a specialist workshop about installing and operating mobile
phones and two-way radio systems that have a transmission power of more
than 10 W.
Operating mobile phones or two-way radio systems may interfere with the
functionality of the electronic systems in your vehicle. 
1)
With some phones, it is necessary to set the connection to the device as "authorised" in order for the
automatic connection to be successful. If this is not set, the system will prompt you for a confirmation
each time you attempt to connect to the mobile phone.
33Communication

The reasons for this are as follows:
› no external aerial;
› external aerial incorrectly installed;
› transmission power greater than 10 watts.
Note
■
We recommend that the installation of mobile phones and two-way radio
systems in a vehicle be carried out by a specialist garage.■
The phone features depend on the mobile network operators and on the
phone being used. Further information is available from the mobile network
operator or refer to your phone manual
■
In signal-free areas reception can be interrupted or the call disconnected.
■
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. In exceptional
cases, electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals and
telephone service may be disrupted.

Function
When the mobile phone is inserted into the Phonebox, the phone signal in-
creases in strength by about 20%. This reduces the level of phone battery dis-
charge and the electromagnetic radiation inside the vehicle.
