 End of the paragraph. The paragraph continues on the following page.Important informationWarrantyThe equipment warranty terms and conditions also apply for new vehicles.
After the expiration of the warranty, a piec e of equipment in need of repair will be
replaced with a reconditioned, original item with spare part warranty. It is, however,
a precondition that the housing has not been damaged and no unauthorised
attempts have been made to carry out repairs.
Note
Damage within the meaning of the warranty must not be the result of improper
handling of the system or from unprofession al repair attempts. It is also essential
that there is no external damage.Device operationThe radio 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 rotary/push knobs 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 with a soft cl oth 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 contact a 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.Enter codeIf a keypad appears after switching on with the command to enter the
code, the unit can be unlocked by ente ring the correct four-digit code
number. The number of the possible attempts is shown in the second
display line.
– Press directly a digit from to on the digit block displayed on the
display. The digit is accepted in the entry line.
– After a four-digit order has been entered, the group of digits will turn grey (inactive) and no further digits can be accepted in the entry line.
– Press on the display to erase the digits in the entry line from right
to left and thereby correct your input, if necessary.

8If a radio station sends additional inform ation via the RDS function while a station
is being stored, it can occur that the name of the radio station is later displayed
incorrectly in the memory list.Traffic information function– Press on the button , in order to switch the traffic information func- tion on or off.The display “ TP” in combination with a station name (e. g. in the station or memory
list), indicates a traffic information station.
Irrespective of which radio station is heard, an additional receiver part in the unit
ensures that a traffic information station can always be received as long as the traffic
information function is switched on.
The operational readiness of the traffic information function is indicated by “ TP” at
the top right in the display.
If no traffic information st ation can be received becaus e, for example, radio recep-
tion is interrupted in general, “ No TP” will be displayed instead of “TP ”. Remember
that car parks, tunnels, high buildings or mountains can interrupt the radio signal
up to the total loss of reception.
Incoming traffic announcement
When a traffic announcemen t is being received, a pop-up window will open.
If you wish to interrupt the transmission of the traffic announcement, press on the
function key in the pop-up window Traffic announcement. The traffic infor-
mation function remains available and a following traffic announcement is made
again while the audio mode is in op eration. Pressing the function key
will switch off the traffic information function permanently.Traffic information memoryAutomatic recording of traffic reports
If the traffic information function is switched on and a traffic information station is
received, the incoming traffic reports will be recorded , as long as the ignition is switched on. This way you are informed at
any time of the current traffic situation,
even if you have your radio switched off for a lengthy period while driving.
If the vehicle is not in use (ignition off) while a traffic information station is received
and the traffic information function is sw itched on, incoming traffic reports from
this station are recorded for two hours.
When switching the ignition off the current traffic information station is displayed
for about five seconds, from which the ne xt two hours of traffic reports will be
recorded. During this display of five seco nds, you can select another traffic infor-
mation station using the arrow keys on the unit, which will be recorded.
If, when the vehicle is not in use, the rece ption of the set traffic information station
is too poor because of external influences , it will automatically search for another
traffic information station.
A maximum of nine traffic a nnouncements with a total length of up to four minutes
can be recorded. The oldest traffic report will always be overwritten if the memory
is full.
TIM recording times
You also have the possibility to set two TIM recording times, to which the unit will
also record traffic reports when the vehicl e is not in use. Then the radio starts
according to the set TIM recording time with the recording of all the incoming traffic
reports on the set traffic information station.
For example, when you drive your vehicle to work everyday at a certain time, only
enter the approximate start time. The radio starts with the recording 90 minutes
before the set start time and ends the recording 30 minutes afterwards. In this way,
before you begin your journey, you can retrie ve the last traffic reports and tune into
the current traffic situation of the distance to be driven.
Note
•
In case of a message of over four minu tes long, the beginning is overwritten.
•
If the vehicle has not been used for mo re than three days, no further traffic
reports are recorded, in order to stop the vehicle battery from running down.
