Working with Automated Systems
This method is used in instances where one generally has
to press numbers on the cellular phone keypad while
navigating through an automated telephone system.
You can use your uconnectphone to access a voice mail
system or an automated service, such as a paging service
or automated customer service line. Some services re-
quire immediate response selection. In some instances,
that may be too quick for use of the uconnect phone.
When calling a number with your uconnect phone that
normally requires you to enter in a touch-tone sequence
on your cellular phone keypad, you can press the VOICE
RECOGNITION button and say the sequence you wish
to enter, followed by the word Send.For example, if
required to enter your PIN followed with a pound, (3 7 4
6 #), you can press the VOICE RECOGNITION button
and say, 3746#Send. Saying a number, or sequence of
numbers, followed by Send,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
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 VOICE RECOGNITION button
and say, “Send.” 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 phone will then
send the corresponding phone number associated with
the phonebook entry, as tones over the phone.
NOTE:
•You may not hear all of the tones due to cellular phone
network configurations. This is normal.
•Some paging and voice mail systems have system time
out settings that are too short and may not allow the
use of this feature.

will not repeat a phone number before you dial it).
•Press the PHONE button to begin.

such as the instrument panel cluster, and supported by
your cellular phone, the uconnect phone will provide
notification to inform you of your phone and network
status when you are attempting to make a phone call
using uconnect phone. The status is given for roaming,
network 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 phone (while dialing
via the cellular phone keypad, the user must exercise
caution and take precautionary safety measures). By

phone, the audio will be played through your vehicle’s
audio system. The uconnect phone will work the same
as if you dial the number using voice recognition.
98 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:Certain brands of cellular phones do not send
the dial ring to the uconnect phone to play it on the
vehicle audio system, so you will not hear it. Under this

call is in progress. Once your call is answered, you will
hear the audio.
