PREPARE THE DIRECTORY IN
YOUR MOBILE PHONE
Before registering your mobile phone on
the system, you must make sure you have
stored your contact names in the phone
directory in your mobile so that you can
call them using the car hands free system.
If your phone book does not contain
any names, enter the new names for the
phone numbers that you call the most of-
ten. For further information on this op-
eration, consult your mobile phone man-
ual.
For the best use of the car hands free
system, refer to the suggestions for how
to store the names in your mobile phone
directory in the chapter mobile TELE-
PHONE SETTING - REGISTRATION
FUNCTIONS. IMPORTANT NOTES
– Access to the directory copied onto
the system is only possible when the mo-
bile phone from which it has been copied
is connected.
– The names stored on the SIM card or
in your mobile phone memory can be
transferred onto the system in a different
way depending on the model of mobile
phone.

To practise the “Help” command, pro-
ceed as follows:

‘control on the steering
wheel.
– After the system has given an acoustic
signal to indicate that the voice recogni-
tion is activated, say “Help”. The system
will give the list of voice commands avail-
able.
– At the end of the help message, say
“Settings” and, at the end of the message,
“Help”. The system will give the list of
voice commands available for the Settings
menu.
– You can now say one of the com-
mands available and proceed with the di-
alogue as you wish.

‘and
say “Help”.REGISTERING YOUR MOBILE

tering and connecting mobile phones with

enter the PIN number shown in the pan-
el display using your mobile phone keypad.

and at the end will show the number of
the mobile phone registered on the dis-
play as confirmation.It is important to wait for this confirma-
tion message, if you press

celling the registration process. If the reg-
istration fails, an error message will ap-
pear: in this case the procedure will have

the first time you connect the system will
say “Welcome”. During subsequent reg-
istration procedures or connections with

longer be given.
