Important information
Warranty
The same warranty terms apply for the equipment as for new vehicles.
After the expiration of the warranty, a unit in need of repair will be replaced inex- pensively with a reconditioned, original unit with spare part warranty. However it is required that there is no housing dama ge and no unauthorised repair attempts have been made.
Note
A damage in the sense of the warranty must not be the result from improper handling of the system or from unprofes sional repair attempts. In addition, no external damage must be present.
Radio mode
The radio should only be used, if the traffic situation permits it.
The volume settings must be selected in su ch a way that acoustic signals from the outside, such as e.g. a Martins horn from utility vehicles (police cars, ambulances and fire brigade), can be heard at any time.

WARNING
Please always pay full attention to the traffic situation around you! As the driver you are fully responsible for the traffic safety. Only use the functions in such a way that you always maintain the control over your vehicle in all traffic situations!
Using the display
Carefully 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 protection
Anti-theft coding
Your radio is equipped with a convenience co ding. If the radio is being operated for the first time, the safety code is not only stored in the radio but also in the vehicle.
After disconnecting and reconnecting the batte ry, 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 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 cl uster. Through this it is automatically decoded (convenience coding). A manual entry of the code is normally not necessary.
Code entry
– Switch on the radio if the ignition is on. SAFE is displayed and then
0000 .
– Enter the safety code using the station keys .
– Confirm the safety code by pressing the button .
If you have confirmed a wrongly entered co de, you can repeat once again the entire process.
If the code number is entered incorrectl y for the second time, the unit will be blocked for approx. one hour. It is only po ssible to repeat the entry of the safety code after an hour has expired and while the unit is switched on and the ignition key remains in the ignition lock.
The cycle - two attempts, blocked for an hour - furthermore applies.
Basic setting
Switching the unit on and off
– The system is switched on or off by pressing the rotary/push knob .
If the key is pulled out of the ignition lock when the system is switched on, the system switches off automatically. You can switch on again the unit by pressing the rotary/push knob . If the engine is switch ed off, the unit (protection of the vehicle battery before discharging) switches of f automatically after approx. one hour.

Special functions
Setting the special functions
More and more broadcasting companies, mainly USW stations transmit
RDS information in addition to the pr ogram. E.g the station name and the
traffic status of the set statio n belong to this information.
Setting the radio functions
– If you press the button , the menu for setting the special func-
tions is shown on the display.
LEARN
This function enables an interference-fre e and clear reception as well as a fast station finding. The radio has its own list of receivable frequencies, which are arranged according to program identification (PI) and signal strength. This makes it possible to change to another frequency of the station which can be taken from a list containing the altern ative frequencies of the stations covering the area.
•LEARN ON - the radio constantly updates and classifies all available frequen- cies depending on the area in which you are located. This leads to short signal fail- ures;
•LEARN OFF - under certain circumstances the updating of the Learn list can cause disturbances. Then the radio te sts each frequency for switch-over.
REGIONAL
Certain programs of the broadcasting companies are divided into regional programs at specific times. That is why in individual regions the regional programs of a station can broadc ast different contents.
First of all the unit attempts to set only alternative frequencies of the selected station.
If the quality is however so low, that there is a risk of a “program loss”, the unit also accepts “related” frequencies.
•REGIONAL ON - the receiver switches to a regional “related” station, if the reception of the current station could be interrupted;
•REGIONAL OFF - the receiver can access the regional “related” station unlim- ited.
SEEK
•SEEK LOCAL - stops the station finding on the local stations with the strongest signal;
•SEEK DX - stops the station finding on all available stations.
AUX
Your radio is equipped with a connection which enables the play function of external sources.
AF
The function alternative frequency (AF) en sures that the best receivable frequency of the selected station is automatically an d precisely set. The replay of the broad- cast can be muted briefly during the search process according to the best receiv-able frequency. If no alte rnative frequency of the set station can be found and the station no longer offers a satisfactory quality, then please select another station.
Second level for setting the special functions
– You can call up the second level of the setting for special functions by
pressing the button and by subsequently pressing the station
key .
