To learn how to access your voice mail, refer to 9 Working
with Automated Systems. 9
Working with Automated Systems
This method is used in instances where one generally has
to press numbers on the cellular phone keypad while
navigating through an automated telephone system.
You can use your UConnect t system to access a voice
mail system or an automated service, such as a paging
service or automated customer service line. Some ser-
vices require immediate response selection. In some
instances, that may be too quick for use of the UConnect t
system.102 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

When calling a number with your UConnect t system
that normally requires you to enter in a touch-tone
sequence on your cellular phone keypad, you can press
the ªVoice Recognitionº button and say the sequence you
wish to enter, followed by the word 9 Send. 9 For example,
if required to enter your PIN followed with a pound, (3 7
4 6 #), you can press the ªVoice Recognitionº button and
say, 9 3746# Send. 9 Saying a number, or sequence of
numbers, followed by 9 Send, 9 is also to be used for
navigating through an automated customer service cen-
ter menu structure, and to leave a number on a pager.
You can also send stored UConnect t phonebook entries
as tones for fast and easy access to voice mail and pager
entries. To use this feature, dial the number you wish to
call and then press the ªVoice Recognitionº button and
say, ªSend.º The system will prompt you to enter the
name or number and say the name of the phonebook
entry you wish to send. The UConnect t system will then send the corresponding phone number associated with
the phonebook entry, as tones over the phone.
NOTE:
² You may not hear all of the tones due to cellular phone
network configurations; this is normal.
² Some paging and voice mail systems have system time
out settings that are too short and may not allow the
use of this feature.
Barge In - Overriding Prompts
The ªVoice Recognitionº button can be used when you
wish to skip part of a prompt and issue your voice
recognition command immediately. For example, if a
prompt is asking 9 Would you like to pair a phone, clear
a { , 9 you could press the ªVoice Recognitionº button and
say, 9 Pair a Phone 9 to select that option without having to
listen to the rest of the voice prompt. UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 103

Turning Confirmation Prompts On/Off
Turning confirmation prompts off will stop the system
from confirming your choices (e.g., the UConnect t sys-
tem will not repeat a phone number before you dial it).
² Press the PHONE button to begin.
² After the 9 Ready 9 prompt and the following beep, say
9 Setup Confirmations. 9 The UConnect t system will
play the current confirmation prompt status and you
will be given the choice to change it.
Phone and Network Status Indicators
If available on the radio and/or on a premium display
such as the instrument panel cluster, and supported by
your cell phone, the UConnect t system will provide
notification to inform you of your phone and network
status when you are attempting to make a phone call
using UConnect t . The status is given for roaming, net-
work signal strength, phone battery strength, etc. Dialing Using the Cellular Phone Keypad
You can dial a phone number with your cellular phone
keypad and still use the UConnect t system (while dial-
ing via the cell phone keypad, the user must exercise
caution and take precautionary safety measures). By
dialing a number with your paired Bluetooth t cellular
phone, the audio will be played through your vehicle's
audio system. The UConnect t system will work the same
as if you dial the number using voice recognition.
NOTE: Certain brands of mobile phones do not send the
dial ring to the UConnect t system to play it on the
vehicle audio system, so you will not hear it. Under this
situation, after successfully dialing a number the user
may feel that the call did not go through even though the
call is in progress. Once your call is answered, you will
hear the audio.104 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE
