Administering coupled devices

To connect a telephone with the device, the two devices must be paired via
Bluetooth ®
.
The pairing procedure is dependent on the number of telephones already con-
nected, whether using the inserted SIM card in the external module or via the
telephone using the profile rSAP » page 37, Possible connection types .
A connection with a telephone that is already paired does not require coupling. It is enough to find the telephone that has been coupled in the list of coupled
telephones and make the connection.
If a SIM card is located in the external module with activated telephone serv-
ices, then only one telephone can be connected with the device. Depending on
the telephone used only those telephone contact lists and text messages
(SMS) are available.
If a device is connected to the device using Apple CarPlay, then a connection
using Bluetooth ®
is possible.
Note
■ The range of the connection to the hands-free system is limited to the pas-
senger compartment.■
The maximum number of paired telephones is 20. Pairing a new telephone
after reaching the maximum number causes the telephone that has not been
paired for the longest time to be automatically replaced.
conditions for coupling
The telephone can be coupled with the device under the following conditions. The ignition is switched on.
The Bluetooth ®
function of the device » page 16 and the telephone is
switched on.
The visibility of the device » page 16 and the telephone is switched on.
The telephone is within range of the Bluetooth ®
signal of the device.
The telephone is compatible with the device.
There is no device connected to the device using Apple CarPlay.
The pairing can be initiated from the device or from the telephone.
During the pairing and connecting process the device can demand the confir-
mation by the Bluetooth ®
profile (e.g., enable contact import, enable the test
messaging or the connection of an audio player or similar). The telephone dis-
play should be monitored to acknowledge any possible request.
Please refer to the compatibility of telephones as well as updates which are
available for the Bluetooth ®
device, and are available on the following ŠKODA
Internet pages.

The device allows you to set up the WLAN hotspot on which up to 8 external
devices can be connected, or to connect to an external device via WLAN client.
WLAN hotspot and WLAN client are two independent connections, these can
be turned on simultaneously.
If the external module has a SIM card with activated data services or if there is
a connection with the telephone via the rSAP profile then it is not possible to
connect the device to the external device using WLAN.
