Voice control of the radio navigation system
62Voice commandsThe voice control is only possible in the following languages: 
Czech, English, German, French.
Due to the large number of possible voice  
commands, we give here only a few exam- 
ples. Therefore, please observe the system guidelines when entering voice commands. The system only recognises 30 000 entries (i.e, it will only recognise 30 000 of the  largest cities for the selected country 
, for example, in the operating mode 
NAV
. If the  
desired city is not included  
in the 30 000 entries, it cannot be pronounced normally,  
but it must be entered by spelling it out. Call up the general information for the voic 
e control by briefly pressing the button    
on the unit and by pronouncing the command “ 
Instructions
”. Then you hear a  
message that the instructions are divided into seven parts. If you want more detailed  information about individual parts of th 
e instructions, pronounce for example the  
command “ 
Tutorial part 2
”. 
Call up the general help for individual oper 
ating modes by briefl
y pressing the button  
 on the unit and by pronouncing the command “ 
Help Quick Commands
”. 
Changing between the operating modes If you wish to change between the operating modes after switching on the voice  control, always pronounce the name of th 
e operating mode in which you wish to  
change. This means, if you are in the operating mode  
RADIO
 and you wish to change  
into the operating mode  
MEDIA
 pronounce the command “
Media
”. Always  
pronounce the names of the operating modes  
PHONE, MAP, NAV
 as “
Telephone,  
map, navigation 
”. 
Voice command “Help” Help can be called up by pronouncing the command “ 
Help
”. Depending on the oper- 
ating mode in which you are, the help given wi 
ll offer different possibilities. If the possi- 
bilities offered are not sufficient, pronounce the command “ 
further options
”. 
If you pronounce the command “ 
Help
”, you can hear a mess
age on how the command  
should be correctly pronounced (e.g. “ 
auto Zoom
”). 
Help display If you want the help to be displayed on the touch-screen of the unit, you must only  activate it (then deactive it) manually in the operating modes  
SETUP
,  and  
. 
The help display can be set separately for  
each operating mode in the system (this  
means, if you only set the help display for the operating mode  
MAP
, it is only displayed  
in this operating mode). The help display includes so-called global and local commands. The range of these  commands is indicated in 
 the pop-up window 
Possible commands are
:
•
Global commands - commands which can al
so be used for another operating  
mode than the one you are currently in, this means if you are in the operating mode  RADIO 
 and you pronounce the command “
New dest.
”, the system changes over into  
the operating mode  
NAV
,
•
Local commands - commands which can only be used in the operating mode in  
which you are currently in and are always shown in brackets. If you do not wish the help display to be 
 shown when the dialogue is switched on,  
pronounce the command “ 
Block out
” while you are in the help display or press the  
function key  . The help display is show 
n again after repeatedly switching on  
the dialogue. Voice recording In the operating modes  
PHONE
, NAV
 and 
RADIO
 a short voice recording can be set up;  
after pronouncing the recorded term the de 
sired command is carried out (e.g. in the  
operating mode  
PHONE
, a voice recording can be set up besides a telephone contact  
and after pronouncing it the system carries out the selection procedure.Further voice commandsIf you wish to scroll through the lists in the operating modes  
MEDIA, PHONE, NAV,  
RADIO 
 (e.g. in the operating mode 
RADIO
 in the list of the radio station), you must  
pronounce the command “ 
next page
” or “
previous page
”. 
If you are in a list in which the details are shown (e.g. in the operating modes  
NAV
,  
,  ), pronounce the command “ 
Options for entry
” and then  
select a number by pronouncing the command “

” or “
