Voice Training
For users experiencing difficulty with the system recog-
nizing their voice commands or numbers, the UConnect

system will adapt to the last trained voice only.
To restore the Voice Recognition system to factory default
settings, enter the Voice Training session via the above
procedure and follow the prompts.

cents, the system may not always work for some.
•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 saySend.
