You can operate various telephone functions easi-
ly through the MMI in your vehicle.
Depending on the country and the vehicle equip-
ment, the following options may be available:
— Connecting a cell phone with Bluetooth
— Using two telephones
— Using the Audi phone box
ZA WARNING
— Medical experts warn that mobile devices
can interfere with the function of pacemak-
ers. Always maintain a minimum distance of
about 7.9 inches (20 cm) between the mo-
bile device antennas and the pacemaker.
— Do not carry the mobile device in a pocket
directly over the pacemaker when the
phone is switched on.
— Switch the mobile device off immediately
if you suspect it may be interfering with
the pacemaker.
— Do not use the voice recognition system*
= page 162 in emergencies because your
voice may change in stressful situations. The
system may take longer to dial the number
or may not be able to dial it at all. Dial the
emergency number manually.
— Switch your mobile device off in areas where
there is a risk of an explosion. These loca-
tions are not always clearly marked. This
may include gas stations, fuel and chemical
storage facilities or transport vehicles, or lo-
cations where fuel vapors (such as propane
or gasoline vapor in vehicles or buildings),
chemicals or large quantities of dust parti-
cles (such as flour, sawdust or metal) may
be present in the air. This also applies to all
other locations where you would normally
turn your vehicle engine off.
— The demands of traffic require your full at-
tention. Always read the chapter
=> page 146, Traffic safety information.
CG) Note
Read the information about Audi connect, and
be sure to note the connectivity costs section
=> page 182.
G@) Tips

switched on, for example because it is out
of the vehicle range or the Bluetooth func-
tion is switched off, then a previously paired
secondary phone is automatically connected
as the primary phone.
— You can send and receive messages on your
primary phone as well as on your secondary
phone > page 173, fig. 163. You do not
need to switch your primary phone and sec-

Audi phone box with connections
You can charge your mobile device battery using
the Audi phone box. You can make calls through
the exterior antenna* on the vehicle. Using the
external antenna* helps when there is a low sig-
nal and also provides better reception quality.
The options below are available:
— Connecting to the external vehicle antenna*:
lay the cell phone on the center of the cell
phone symbol in the Audi phone box with the
display facing up > fig. 162. Make sure there
are no objects between the Audi phone box and
the mobile device.
— Charging a cell phone wirelessly: place a Qi-ca-
pable!) cell phone centered on the @ symbol in
the Audi phone box with the display facing up
=> fig. 162. The cell phone will charge.
— Charging a mobile device using the USB
adapter: connect your mobile device to the
Audi music interface using a USB adapter cable
©. You can charge your mobile device using
specific USB adapters > page 217, fig. 190.
Z\ WARNING
— Loose objects can be thrown around the ve-
hicle interior during sudden driving or brak-
ing maneuvers, which increases the risk of
an accident. Store objects securely while
driving. >
D_ The Qi standard makes it possible to charge your mobile
device wirelessly.

wireless charging. Pay attention to the tem-
perature of your mobile device and be care-
ful when removing it from the Audi phone

wireless charging. Maintain a minimum dis-
tance of approximately 2.4 in (6 cm) to the
Audi phone box charging plate. The thresh-
olds for prolonged exposure at this distance
comply with ICNIRP1998. Therefore, inter-
actions such as irritation of sensory organs,
malfunctions of active implants (such as
pacemakers, infusion pumps, or neurosti-
mulators) or effects on passive implants
(such as prosthetic limbs) is highly unlikely.
If you have an implant, consult a medical
specialist if you have any questions.

Gi) Tips
— Snow and obstructions on the GPS antenna
or interference caused by trees and large
buildings can impair satellite reception and
affect the system's ability to determine the
vehicle position. Several deactivated or mal-
functioning satellites can also interrupt GPS
reception and affect the system's ability to
determine the vehicle position.
— Because street names sometimes change,
the names stored in the MMI may in rare
cases differ from the actual street name.
