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 uconnectt phone 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 uconnectt phone.
When calling a number with your uconnectt 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 9Send.9For example, if
required to enter your PIN followed with a pound, (3 7 4
6 #), you can press the VOICE RECOGNITION button
and say, 93 7 4 6 # Send.9 Saying a number, or sequence of
numbers, followed by 9Send,9is 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 uconnecttphonebook 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 uconnectt 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.
Barge In - Overriding Prompts
The “Voice Recognition” 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 9Would you like to pair a phone, clear
a...,9 you could press the VOICE RECOGNITION button
and say, 9Pair a Phone9 to select that option without
having to listen to the rest of the voice prompt.
Turning Confirmation Prompts ON/OFF
Turning confirmation prompts off will stop the system
from confirming your choices (e.g., the uconnectt phone
will not repeat a phone number before you dial it).
Press the PHONE button to begin.
After the 9Ready9prompt and the following beep, say
9Setup Confirmations.9 The uconnecttphone will play

Phone and Network Status IndicatorsIf available on the radio and/or on a premium display
such as the instrument panel cluster, and supported by
your cellular phone, the uconnectt
phone will provide
notification to inform you of your phone and network
status when you are attempting to make a phone call
using uconnectt 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 uconnectt phone (while dialing
via the cellular phone keypad, the user must exercise
caution and take precautionary safety measures). By
dialing a number with your paired Bluetootht cellular
phone, the audio will be played through your vehicle’s
audio system. The uconnectt phone will work the same
as if you dial the number using voice recognition. NOTE:
Certain brands of cellular phones do not send
the dial ring to the uconnectt phone 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.
Mute/Un-Mute (Mute OFF)
When you mute the uconnectt phone, you will still be
able to hear the conversation coming from the other
party, but the other party will not be able to hear you. In
order to mute the uconnectt phone:
Press the VOICE RECOGNITION button.
Following the beep, say9Mute.9
