select and play tracks, albums, artists and
playlists by interacting manually or ver-
bally with Blue&Me™. Building the li-
brary may require a few minutes if your

HOW TO USE
Blue&Me™
CONTROLS STEERING WHEEL
Buttons on the steering wheel (see fig. 1)
are used to perform functions on the
hands-free kit, activating voice recognition,
using the media player functions or select-

?.VOICE COMMANDS
Voice commands can be pronounced by
the driver, which does not need to change
his/her normal driving position to be heard
by the system, since the microphone is
properly located and oriented to this pur-
pose.
Voice commands, which are words rec-
ognized by the system, are identified as
“keywords”.
The hands-free phone system recognizes
and responds to a preset list of voice com-
mands. The list of available voice com-
mands depends on the keyword level that
you are currently on. The current list is al-
ways available by pressing
‘and pro-
nouncing “Help” or, pronouncing “Help”
after whichever question of the system.
Blue&Me™also recognizes personalized
versions of voice commands like the name
of a contact in your phonebook.
There is no voice training required for us-
ing voice commands with this system.
15
To issue a voice command to the system,
press
‘and wait for the tone indicating
that voice recognition is active. Then,
speak the command in your natural voice
at a moderate pace. When the system rec-
ognizes the command, it will acknowledge
your command by speaking a response or
acting on your command.
Voice commands are organized according
to three increasing levels: 1
stlevel, 2ndlev-
el and 3rdlevel.
When a valid* 1
stlevel keyword is pro-
nounced, the system will activate 2ndlev-
el keywords; when a valid 2ndlevel key-
word is pronounced, the system will ac-
tivate 3
rdlevel keywords.
If the user pronounces a valid 1
stlevel key-
word, then the submenu relevant to that
command will remain active until a key-
word leading to another level is given or
the interaction is interrupted; the same
rule applies for the other lower levels (2
nd
and 3rdlevel).
For the list of available keywords, re-
fer to section VOICE COMMANDS
(KEYWORDS) - SUMMARY.To repeat the last system voice an-
nouncement, press
‘for longer than 1
second or press shortly
‘and pro-
nounce “Repeat”.
The system can issue voice announce-
ments. A voice announcement is a spoken
message initiated by the system. To can-
cel a voice announcement, press
&/ESC,
or press
‘and pronounce “Cancel”.
A voice interaction is a two-way commu-
nication/spoken exchange between system
and user. To initiate a voice interaction,
press
‘and issue a command. To inter-
rupt an ongoing interaction and start a
new interaction, press
‘at any time dur-
ing the interaction and issue a voice com-
mand.
To stop an ongoing interaction press
&/ESC. You will hear a tone indicating
when voice recognition is deactivated.
The hands-free kit help option can speak
the list of commands available to you at
any time, depending on the keyword lev-
el that you are currently on. To use the
help system, say “HelpListen to the list
of currently available commands and de-
cide on which command you’d like to is-
sue to the system.Adjust the volume of phone calls to a lev-
el that is comfortable and safe while the
car is in motion. To adjust the default vol-
ume of Blue&Me™, see paragraph “EX-
TERNAL AUDIO VOL function” in the
sound system owner handbook. To tem-
porarily adjust the volume of the current
phone call, press +or –or adjust the po-
sition of the radio knob. After the phone
call is disconnected, the volume will revert
back to the original level.
You can press +or –also to adjust the
volume of the current Blue&Me™voice
announcement.
Please remember that to interrupt a voice
announcement, you can always press
‘at any time during a voice interaction and
give a new voice command.
Note
❒Instructions concerning voice com-
mands are identified in the text by sym-
bol
}.
* Validmeans that the keyword pronounced is included in the Blue&Me™“dictionary” and that can therefore be recognized by
the system for the concerned level.

}
Or, using voice interaction:
Assume you would like to call the
contact “John” in your mobile
phone phonebook.
Press
‘and pronounce “Call
John” or “Call John (on/at) Mo-
bile“ (in the previous statement, the
keyword “Mobile” represents the
type of phone number you would
like to call. The phone number type
can either be “(at) Home”, “(at)
Work”, or “(on/at) Other”).
If the name is recognized, the sys-
tem will display the recognized con-
tact’s information (John, in the ex-
ample) on the display screen.
If John has just one phone number,
the system will ask if you would like
to call John. To start the call say
“Yes”, otherwise say “No”.
If John has several phone numbers,
the system will ask which phone
number you would like to call (e.g.:
“Call John (at) Work or (at)
Home?”). Answer with the type of
required phone number (e.g.: “(at)
Home”). If John has several phone numbers
but the “location” (i.e.: the type of
phone number like work, home,
etc.) is missing, the system will dis-
play the selected contact and a list
of related phone numbers.
To call the displayed phone number,
pronounce “Call”.
If the contact is correct but the
phone number is wrong, you can
surf the phone number list manual-
ly by pressing
NorO. When you
find the required number, press
ß/MAINor SRC/OKto start the
call.
To end the phone call, press
ß/MAINfor longer than 1 second.
Practical hint
When you call a contact with multiple
phone numbers, use the “at location” por-
tion of the voice command (e.g.: “(at)
Home”, “(at) Work”, “(on/at) Mo-
bile”). This will shorten the amount of
steps required to make the phone call. Dialling a phone number using
voice commands
}
To dial a phone number using voice
interaction, proceed as follows:
Press
‘and pronounce “Dial”.
The system will respond with
“Number, please”.
Pronounce the phone number as a
sequence of single digits (e.g.: “0”,
“1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7”, “8”,
“9”, “+” (plus), “#” (pound) or “*”
(star).
For example, 0113290103 has to be
pronounced as: “zero, one, one,
three, two, nine, zero, one, zero,
three”.
The system will repeat the complete
phone number and display it.
If the number is complete, pro-
nounce “Dial”. If you have not fin-
ished speaking the phone number,
then pronounce the remaining dig-
its and then pronounce “Dial”.
21
The system will start the call to the
displayed phone number.
To end the phone call, press
ß/MAINfor longer than 1 second.
You can pronounce the sequence of
phone number digits in “digit
groups” which allows you to verify
the recognized number in several
small portions. Digit groups are cre-
ated by the pauses you use while
pronouncing the sequence of digits.
If you pause after pronouncing sev-
eral digits, a digit group is created.
The system will repeat the recog-
nized digits.
If the spoken digits are correct, you
can continue pronouncing the phone
number. If the spoken digits are in-
correct, you can delete the digit
group by pronouncing “Delete”.
The system will delete the last group
of numbers and display the partially-
dialled phone number. Then, you can
re-pronounce the digit group and al-
so the remaining phone number dig-
its.
To cancel the phone call, pronounce
“Cancel”.To cancel the phone call and start
dialling again, pronounce “Start
over”.
To ask the system to repeat the
recognized phone number, pro-
nounce “Repeat”. If no phone
number was dialled, the system says
“No number available”.
If the repeated phone number is
correct, pronounce “Dial” to start
the call.
Note
When dialling a phone number by voice
commands, it is essential to minimize
background noise in the car and to ask the
other passengers to keep silent while you
are speaking digits. Since the system is of
the speaker independent type it can rec-
ognize also other voices; there is there-
fore the risk that some numbers are ac-
cidentally recognized, added to correct
numbers or not recognized.Dialling a phone number using
the mobile phone keypad?
Alternatively, you can dial a phone
number using your mobile phone
keypad and then continue your con-
versation using the hands-free
phone system.
It is a requirement that you create
a pairing relationship and that the
mobile phone is within range of the
hands-free phone system of your
car.
