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 UConnectŸ system will provide
notification to inform you of your phone and network
status when you are attempting to make a phone call
using UConnectŸ. The status is given for roaming,
network 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 UConnectŸ system (while
dialing via the cell phone keypad, the user must exercise
caution and take precautionary safety measures). By
dialing a number with your paired BluetoothŸ cellular
phone, the audio will be played through your vehicle's
audio system. The UConnectŸ 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 UConnectŸ 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.
Mute/Un-Mute (Mute Off)
When you mute the UConnectŸ system, you will still be
able to hear the conversation coming from the other
party, but the other party will not be able to hear you. In
order to mute the UConnectŸ system:
²Press the ªVoice Recognitionº button.
²Following the beep, say9Mute.9
