combined form of the voice command is given. You
can also break the commands into parts and say each

example, you can use the combined form voice com-
mand9Phonebook New Entry,9 or you can break the
combined form command into two voice commands:

For identification purposes, you will be prompted to
give the uconnectt
phone a name for your cellular

priority level between one and seven, with one being
the highest priority. You can pair up to seven cellular
phones to your uconnectt phone. However, at any
given time, only one cellular phone can be in use,
connected to your uconnectt phone. The priority
allows the uconnectt phone to know which cellular
phone to use if multiple cellular phones are in the
vehicle at the same time. For example, if priority three
and priority five phones are present in the vehicle, the

phone when you make a call. You can select to use a
