HOW TO SAy nuMBeRS
The system provides two commands for entering and dialing a phone number: “ diAL” and
“inTe RnATi OnAL c ALL.” The “diAL” command is used for domestic phone numbers up to
10-digits in length, starting with the area code. The “inTe RnATi OnAL c ALL” command is used
when more than 10-digits need to be dialed or when special characters are required, such as: *,
# or +. When using these two commands, please follow the phone digit speaking rul\
es below:

Only single digits 0 (zero) to 9 (nine) can be spoken.

When saying the phone number 800-662-6200, the system will accept “eight hundred” in

and finally the last 4 digits.

The interior of the vehicle should be as quiet as possible. close the windows to minimize the
surrounding noises.

Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a command.

Speak in a natural conversational voice with minimal pauses between words.
