2008 DODGE RAM 2500 GAS Owners Manual

²For identification purposes, you will be prompted to
give the UConnecttsystem a name for your cellular
phone. Each cellular phone that is paired should be
given a unique phone name.
²You will then be asked to give your cellular phone a
priority level between 1 and 7, with 1 being the highest
priority. You can pair up to seven cellular phones to
your UConnecttsystem. However, at any given time,
only one cellular phone can be in use, connected to
your UConnecttsystem. The priority allows the
UConnecttsystem to know which cellular phone to
use if multiple cellular phones are in the vehicle at the
same time. For example, if priority 3 and priority 5
phones are present in the vehicle, the UConnectt
system will use the priority 3 cellular phone when you
make a call. You can select to use a lower priority
cellular phone at any time (refer to9Advanced Phone
Connectivity9in this section).
Dial by Saying a Number
²
Press the PHONE button to begin.
²After the9Ready9prompt and the following beep, say
9Dial.9
²The system will prompt you to say the number you
want to call.
²For example, you can say9234-567-8901.9The phone
number that you enter must be of valid length and
combination. Based on the country in which the ve-
hicle was purchased, the UConnecttsystem limits the
user from dialing an invalid combination of numbers.
For example, in the U.S., 234-567-890 is nine digits
long, which is not a valid U.S. phone number - the
closest valid phone number has 10 digits.
²The UConnecttsystem will confirm the phone num-
ber and then dial. The number will appear in the
display of certain radios.
