CAUTION■ŠKODA is not responsible for damage to the unit or to the vehicle by the use
of faulty or incorrectly programmed applications in the connected device.■
Due to the low charging current from the USB input, intensive use of the
SmartLink function can lead to the discharge of the battery of the connected
device.
■
To establish the connection, it is necessary that the date and time values in
the device are set correctly. If the setting of the date and time values are
based on the GPS signal, then a connection may not be possible with bad
signal reception. If there is sufficient signal reception, the synchronization of
the device with the GPS signal may take up to ten minutes.
Note
■ We recommend that you use extension cords from ŠKODA Original Accesso-
ries.■
The device saves the last 10 connected devices.
■
With some connected devices, it is necessary that the connected device is
“unlocked” over the entire duration of the connection for trouble-free func-
tioning of the SmartLink function.
