Important information
Warranty
The equipment warranty terms and conditions also apply for new vehicles.
After the expiration of the warranty, a piece 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 unprofessional repair attempts. It is also essential
that there is no external damage.
Operation of radio
The 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.
Power output
4x20 W
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 control of your vehicle in all traffic
situations!

Radio 3
Using the display
Carefully handle the display because dents and scratches can occur through pres-
sure of the finger or contact with sharp objects.
The display can be cleaned with a soft cloth 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 coding. 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 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 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 cluster. This ensures that it is automatically
decoded (convenience coding). Manual input of the code is normally not
necessary.
Enter code
– Switch on the radio if the ignition is on.
– Enter the safety code using the station keys - .
– Confirm the safety code by pressing the station key .
If you have confirmed a wrongly entered code, you can repeat onceagain the entire
process.
If the code number is entered incorrectly for the second time, the unit will be
blocked for approx. one hour. The safety code can only be entered again after one
hour has expired, with the unit switched on and the ignition key in the ignition lock.
The cycle - two attempts, blocked for an hour - will continue to apply.
Basic setting
Switching the unit on and off
– The system is switched on or off by turning / pressing the rotary / push
knob .
If the key is pulled out of the ignition lock with the unit switched on, the unit wil
switch off automatically. You can switch on again the unit by pressing the
rotary/push knob . If the engine is switched off, the unit (discharge protection of
the vehicle battery) switches off automatically after approx. one hour.
If you have switched off the radio by withdrawing the ignition key, the radio
switches on again once the ignition is on.
Audio settings
– Press the button and then the station key and select the desired
parameter.

RDS-REG
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 broadcast 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.
•FIX - the receiver switches to a regional “related” station, if the reception of the
current station could be interrupted;
•AUTO - the receiver can access the regional “related” station unlimited.

Information on how to use a CD
CD to jump
Uneven road surfaces and strong vibrations may cause the CD to jump.
Formation of condensation
When it is cold and after rain showers, moisture can deposit in the CD drive
(condensation). This can effect the CD jump or impair the play function. In such
cases wait until the moisture has dissipated.
Notes for the care of the CDs
If a CD is soiled, please neverclean the CDin the direction of a circle but rather from
inside to outside with a soft lint-free cloth. In case of severe layers of dirt we recom-
mend to clean the CD with a commercially available CD cleaner. Also in this case do
not clean the CD in the direction of a circle but rather from inside to outside and
then let it dry off.
Overheating protection
If the temperature in the unit exceeds 85°C, the play function of the CD is ended for
safety reasons.
Caution
•Never use liquids such as gasoline, paint thinner or disk cleaner, otherwise the
surface of the CD could get damaged!
•Never expose the CD to direct sun rays!
•Please never write or affix the CD!
Note
Dirt or damage of a CD can lead to difficulties when “reading” the information. The
difficulty in reading the error depends on the dirt or on the severity of the mechan-
ical damage. Severe scratches cause reading errors which can make the CD jump or
“get stuck”. All CDs must be treated carefully and always be stored in a protective
case.
