2General information

Using the display
Carefully handle the display because dents and scratches can occur through pres- sure of the finger or contact with sharp objects.
The display can be cleaned with 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 displaysurface.Ð
Anti-theft protection
Anti-theft coding
Your radio is equipped with a convenience coding. If the radio is being operatedfor the first time, the safety code is not only stored in the radio but also in thevehicle.
After disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, first of all switch on the igni- tion and then the radio.
If you wish to install the radio in another vehicle, the safety code must be en- tered. In this case, please do not hesitate to contact a ŠKODA Service Partner or aŠKODA importer.
As the unit only functions after 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 cluster. This ensures that it is automaticallydecoded (convenience coding). Manual input of the code is normally not necessa-ry.Ð
Enter code
›Switch on the radio if the ignition is on. SAFE is displayed and then 1000.›Enter the safety code using the function keys 1 - 4.›Confirm the safety code by pressing down on the function key 6.
If you have confirmed a wrongly entered code, you can repeat once again the en-tire process.
If the code number is entered incorrectly for the second time, the unit will be blocked for approx. one hour. It is possible to enter again the safety code afterone hour has expired, when the unit and the ignition have been switched on.
The cycle - two attempts, blocked for an hour - will continue to apply.Ð

Information on how to use a CD
CD to jump Uneven road surfaces and strong vibrations may cause the CD to jump.
Formation of condensation When it is cold and after rain showers, moisture can deposit in the CD drive (con-densation). This can effect the CD jump or impair the play function. In such caseswait 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 ratherfrom inside to outside with a soft lint-free cloth. In case of severe layers of dirt werecommend to clean the CD with a commercially available CD cleaner. Also in thiscase do not clean the CD in the direction of a circle but rather from inside to out-side and then let it dry off.
Overheating protection If the temperature in the unit exceeds 85°C, the play function of the CD is endedfor safety reasons.
CAUTION
■Never use liquids such as gasoline, paint thinner or disk cleaner, otherwise thesurface of the CD could get damaged! ■Never expose the CD to direct sun rays!■Please never write or affix the CD!
Note
Dirt or damage of a CD can lead to difficulties when “reading” the information. The difficulty in reading the error depends on the dirt or on the severity of themechanical damage. Severe scratches cause reading errors which can make theCD jump or “get stuck”. All CDs must be treated carefully and always be stored ina protective case.Ð
