Important information
Warran ty
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.
Device operation
The unit 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 pressure 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 an authorised 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 once again 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.

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.

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
