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 unauthor-

ised 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.

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!

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. SAFE is displayed and then

1000.

– 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. It is possible to enter again the safety code after one

hour has expired, when the unit and the ignition have been switched on.

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 . When the ignition is switched off, the unit switches off auto-

matically after approx. one hour (discharge protection of the vehicle battery).

REG AUTO / REG OFF

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.

When opting for REG AUTO the change to a regional “related” station can only be

performed if there is a risk of losing the station. When selecting REG OFF, the

receiver can access the regional “related” stations unlimited.

GALA

Your radio increases automatically its volume with the increasing vehicle speed. A

higher setting value results in a stronger volume increase.

LOUD

In case of low volume level, the function reinforces the range of bass and treble

frequencies.

BEEP

ON VOL

Your radio stores the last volume set before switching off. If the value is higher, the

volume is reduced to the value of the parameter ON VOL after switching on the

radio again.

PHONE*

If your vehicle is equipped with a handsfree system, the monophone play function

of the mobile phone calls is carried out via the loudspeakers of the vehicle.

PDC AT*

If your vehicle is equipped with “parking aid”, the volume is automatically

decreased to a pre-defined value, when the “parking aid” is active.

•PDC AT0 - does not restrict the volume;

•PDC AT1 - restricts the current volume to a middle level;

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 CD in the direction of a circle butrather 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 protec-

tive case.

external audio source is not switched off, it remains always active in the back-

ground.

Please refer to the Owner's manual of the respective manufacturer for the opera-

tion of the external audio source.

Use the standard jack plug 3.5 mm for the AUX-IN socket. If the external audio

source does not have this jack plug, you must use an adapter.

Adjust the play function volume of the external audio source

The play function volume of the external audio source can be changed via the

volume control on the radio.

Note

•Your radio has no control over the level setting of the external source. Make

sure that the highest quality is achieved by a suitable combination of input sensi-

tivity and output sensitivity of the external source (volume control). You will find

detailed information for this setting in the operating instructions of the units.

•If an external audio source is connected via AUX-IN, which is equipped with an

adapter for external power supply, it can occur that the audio signal is interrupted.

This depends on the quality of the adapter which is used.
