Address Book
GWarning!
Please devote your attention first and
foremost to the traffic situation you are in.
Before your journey, please familiarize
yourself with the address book functions.
Only use the Voice Control System when road
and traffic conditions permit you to do so.
Otherwise you could be involved in an
accident in which you or others could be
injured.
Overview
The address book gives you the option of
storing information about people in the form
of entries.
Using voice control, you can dial a phone
number stored in the address book or start
route guidance for a stored address.
Apart from the speaker-dependent voice tags
stored in the address book, voice control can
recognize all the entries in the name fields of
the address book. Recognition of the entries
in the address book depends on the text that
was entered. To make a call you must say the
text of the entry.
Check the address book entries for the
following:

RThe name entries, e.g. last name and first
name, are in the right fields.
R Do not use abbreviations or acronyms.
R Avoid unnecessary spaces in names.
R Do not use special characters.
You can improve voice recognition by saving
a speaker-dependent voice tag for address
book entries.
Use a speaker-dependent voice tag:
R for names which are difficult to pronounce
R to distinguish names which sound similar
R for names which are not pronounced as
they are written
Voice control can store up to 50 of these
address book entries by means of a speaker-
dependent voice tag.
