Add Names To Your Uconnect™
Phonebook
NOTE:
Adding names to the Uconnect™ Phone-
book is recommended when the vehicle is
not in motion.
• Press the
button to begin.
• After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say “Phonebook New Entry”.
• When prompted, say the name of the new
entry. Use of long names helps the Voice
Command and it is recommended. For ex-
ample, say “Robert Smith” or “Robert” in-
stead of “Bob”.
• When prompted, enter the number designa-
tion (e.g., “Home”, “Work”, “Mobile”, or
“Other”). This will allow you to store multiple
numbers for each phonebook entry, if de-
sired. •
When prompted, recite the phone number
for the phonebook entry that you are adding.
After you are finished adding an entry into the
phonebook, you will be given the opportunity to
add more phone numbers to the current entry
or to return to the main menu.
The Uconnect™ Phone will allow you to enter
up to 32 names in the phonebook with each
name having up to four associated phone
numbers and designations. Each language has
a separate 32-name phonebook accessible
only in that language. In addition, if equipped
and supported by your phone, Uconnect™
Phone automatically downloads your mobile
phone’s phonebook.
Phonebook Download — Automatic
Phonebook Transfer From Mobile Phone
If equipped and specifically supported by your
phone, Uconnect™ Phone automatically down-
loads names (text names) and number entries
from your mobile phone’s phonebook. Specific
Bluetooth Phones with Phone Book Access
Profile may support this feature. See
Uconnect™ website for supported phones. •
To call a name from downloaded (or
Uconnect™) Phonebook, follow the proce-
dure in “Call by Saying a Name” section.
• Automatic download and update, if sup-
ported, begins as soon as the phone
Bluetooth wireless connection is made to
the Uconnect™ Phone. For example, after
you start the vehicle.
• Maximum of 1000 entries per phone will be
downloaded and updated every time a
phone is connected to the Uconnect™
Phone.
• Depending on the maximum number of en-
tries downloaded, there may be a short
delay before the latest downloaded names
can be used. Until then, if available, the
previously downloaded phonebook is avail-
able for use.
• Only the phonebook of the currently con-
nected mobile phone is accessible.
• Only the mobile phone’s phonebook is
downloaded. SIM card phonebook is not
part of the mobile phonebook.
77

•This downloaded phonebook cannot be ed-
ited or deleted on the Uconnect™ Phone.
These can only be edited on the mobile
phone. The changes are transferred and
updated to Uconnect™ Phone on the next
phone connection.
Edit Uconnect™ Phonebook Entries
Editing names in the phonebook is recom-
mended when the vehicle is not in motion.
Automatic downloaded phonebook entries
cannot be deleted or edited.

beep, say “Phonebook Edit”.
• You will then be asked for the name of the
phonebook entry that you wish to edit.
• Next, choose the number designation
(home, work, mobile, or other) that you wish
to edit.
• When prompted, recite the new phone num-
ber for the phonebook entry that you are
editing. After you are finished editing an entry in the
phonebook, you will be given the opportunity to
edit another entry in the phonebook, call the
number you just edited, or return to the main
menu.
“Phonebook Edit” can be used to add another
phone number to a name entry that already
exists in the phonebook. For example, the entry
John Doe may have a mobile and a home
number, but you can add “John Doe’s” work
number later using the “Phonebook Edit” fea-
ture.

Paging
To learn how to page refer to “Working with
Automated Systems”. Paging works properly
except for pagers of certain companies which
time out a little too soon to work properly with
the Uconnect™ Phone.
Voice Mail Calling
To learn how to access your voice mail, refer to
“Working with Automated Systems”.
Working With Automated Systems
This method is used in instances where one
generally has to press numbers on the mobile
phone keypad while navigating through an
automated telephone system.
81

You can use your Uconnect™ Phone to access
a voice mail system or an automated service,
such as a paging service or automated cus-
tomer service. Some services require immedi-
ate response selection. In some instances, that
may be too quick for use of the Uconnect™
Phone.
When calling a number with your Uconnect™
Phone that normally requires you to enter in a
touch-tone sequence on your mobile phone
keypad, you can press the
button and
say the sequence you wish to enter followed by
the word “Send”. For example, if required to
enter your PIN followed with a hash, (3746#),
you can press the
button and say, “3 7 4
6 # Send”. Saying a number, or sequence of
numbers, followed by “Send”, is also to be
used for navigating through an automated cus-
tomer service center menu structure, and to
leave a number on a pager.
You can also send stored Uconnect™ Phone-
book 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
button and say “Send.”
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™ Phone
will then send the corresponding phone num-
ber associated with the phonebook entry, as
tones over the phone.
NOTE:
•
You may not hear all of the tones due to
mobile phone network configurations;
this is normal.
• 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 “Voice Command” button can be used
when you wish to skip part of a prompt and
issue your voice command immediately. For
example, if a prompt is asking “Would you like
to pair a phone, clear a,” you could press the
button and say, “Pair a Phone” to select
that option without having to listen to the rest of
the voice prompt.
Turning Confirmation Prompts On/Off
Turning confirmation prompts off will stop the
system from confirming your choices (e.g., the Uconnect™ Phone will not repeat a phone
number before you dial it).
•
Press the
button to begin.
• After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say:
“Setup Confirmations Prompts On”
“Setup Confirmations Prompts Off”
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 mobile phone, the
Uconnect™ Phone will provide notification to
inform you of your phone and network status
when you are attempting to make a phone call
using Uconnect™ Phone. The status is given
for network signal strength, phone battery
strength, etc.
Dialing Using The Mobile Phone Keypad
You can dial a phone number with your mobile
phone keypad and still use the Uconnect™
Phone (while dialing via the mobile phone
keypad, the user must exercise caution and
take precautionary safety measures). By dial-
ing a number with your paired Bluetooth mo-
82

bile phone, the audio will be played through
your vehicle’s audio system. The Uconnect™
Phone will work the same as if you dialed the
number using a Voice Command.
NOTE:
Certain brands of mobile phones do not
send the dial ring to the Uconnect™ Phone
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)
