specific command and then guided through the available
options.
•Prior to giving a voice command, one must wait for
the beep, which follows theReadyprompt or another

used. For example, instead of saying Setupand then
Phone Pairing, the following compound command
can be said: Setup Phone Pairing.

combined form of the voice command is given. You
can also break the commands into parts and say each
part of the command when you are asked for it. For example, you can use the combined form voice com-
mand
Phonebook New Entry, or you can break the
combined form command into two voice commands:
Phonebook andNew Entry. Please remember, the
Uconnect™ Phone works best when you talk in a
normal conversational tone, as if speaking to someone
sitting a few feet/meters away from you.
