2008 DODGE AVENGER Owners Manual

When calling a number with your UConnect t system
that normally requires you to enter in a touch-tone
sequence on your cellular phone keypad, you can press
the ªVoice Recognitionº button and say the sequence you
wish to enter, followed by the word 9 Send. 9 For example,
if required to enter your PIN followed with a pound, (3 7
4 6 #), you can press the ªVoice Recognitionº button and
say, 9 3746# Send. 9 Saying a number, or sequence of
numbers, followed by 9 Send, 9 is also to be used for
navigating through an automated customer service cen-
ter menu structure, and to leave a number on a pager.
You can also send stored UConnect t phonebook 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 ªVoice Recognitionº button and
say, ªSend.º 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 t system will then send the corresponding phone number associated with
the phonebook entry, as tones over the phone.
NOTE:
² You may not hear all of the tones due to cellular phone
network configurations; this is normal.
² 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 ªVoice Recognitionº button can be used when you
wish to skip part of a prompt and issue your voice
recognition command immediately. For example, if a
prompt is asking 9 Would you like to pair a phone, clear
a { , 9 you could press the ªVoice Recognitionº button and
say, 9 Pair a Phone 9 to select that option without having to
listen to the rest of the voice prompt. UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 103

Turning Confirmation Prompts On/Off
Turning confirmation prompts off will stop the system
from confirming your choices (e.g., the UConnect t sys-
tem will not repeat a phone number before you dial it).
² Press the PHONE button to begin.
² After the 9 Ready 9 prompt and the following beep, say
9 Setup Confirmations. 9 The UConnect t system will
play the current confirmation prompt status and you
will be given the choice to change it.
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 cell phone, the UConnect t system will provide
notification to inform you of your phone and network
status when you are attempting to make a phone call
using UConnect t . The status is given for roaming, net-
work signal strength, phone battery strength, etc. Dialing Using the Cellular Phone Keypad
You can dial a phone number with your cellular phone
keypad and still use the UConnect t system (while dial-
ing via the cell phone keypad, the user must exercise
caution and take precautionary safety measures). By
dialing a number with your paired Bluetooth t cellular
phone, the audio will be played through your vehicle's
audio system. The UConnect t system will work the same
as if you dial the number using voice recognition.
NOTE: Certain brands of mobile phones do not send the
dial ring to the UConnect t system 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.104 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

² Speak normally, without pausing, just as you would
speak to a person sitting a few feet/meters away from
you.
² Make sure that no one other than you is speaking
during a voice recognition period.
² Performance is maximized under:
² low-to-medium blower setting,
² low-to-medium vehicle speed,
² low road noise,
² smooth road surface,
² fully closed windows,
² dry weather condition.
² Even though the system is designed for users speaking
in North American English, French, and Spanish ac-
cents, the system may not always work for some. ² When navigating through an automated system such
as voice mail, or when sending a page, at the end of
speaking the digit string, make sure to say 9 Send. 9
² Storing names in the phonebook when the vehicle is
not in motion is recommended.
² It is not recommended to store similar sounding
names in the UConnect t phonebook.
² The UConnect t phonebook nametag recognition rate
is optimized for the person who stored the name in the
phonebook.
² You can say 9 O 9 (letter 9 O 9 ) for 9 0 9 (zero). 9 800 9 must be
spoken 9 eight-zero-zero. 9

lowering the in-vehicle audio volume.
² In a convertible vehicle, system performance may be
compromised with the convertible top down.

in Bluetooth t ON mode.
Power-Up
After switching the ignition key from OFF to either ON
or ACC position, or after a language change, you must
