2009 FIAT DUCATO 250 Blue And Me Manual

Notes
❒Instructions concerning voice com-
mands are identified in the text by sym-
bol
}.
❒After you press ‘, if you do not is-
sue a voice command within a few sec-
onds, the system will prompt you to
pronounce a voice command. If you do
not respond, then voice recognition
shuts off. It is the same case with not
responding to a question during a voice
interaction. You will hear a tone indi-
cating when voice recognition is deac-
tivated.
❒When the system fails to recognize
your voice command, it will give you an-
other opportunity to re-pronounce the
voice command. If you are unsure of
whether the voice command is appro-
priate for the given context, pronounce
“Help”. Using voice recognition
The voice recognition system may occa-
sionally misrecognize a voice command.
To ensure that your voice commands are
always recognized by the system, use the
following guidelines:
❒After pressing ‘, pronounce the voice
command after the system plays a tone
indicating that voice recognition is ac-
tive.
❒After the system asks a question, wait
for one second before pronouncing the
response to ensure that voice recog-
nition is active.
❒If you want to pronounce a command
without waiting that the system has fin-
ished its announcement or question,
you can press again shortly
‘to in-
terrupt what the system is saying and
pronounce your command.
❒Speak at a normal volume.
❒Pronounce words clearly, in your nat-
ural voice at a moderate pace, without
stops.
❒If possible, try to minimize background
noise in the vehicle.
❒Ask the other passengers to keep silent
while you are pronouncing voice com-
mands to prevent misunderstanding
since the system could recognize oth-
er words (in addition to or different
from your voice command) if several
people are speaking.
Notes
As concerns countries where the version
in native language is not available, voice
recognition of the different commands and
phonebook contacts could be difficult.
You are therefore recommended to adopt
a pronunciation/accent meeting the lan-
guage present on Blue&Me
™.
To change the voice recognition language
contact Fiat Dealership or consult the ded-
icated site at www.fiat.com.

Calling a contact in your
phonebook
It is a requirement that you create a pair-
ing relationship and download your mo-
bile phone phonebook to the hands-free
phone system to use this dialing feature.
?
To call a contact in your phonebook
using manual interaction, proceed as
follows:
Press
˜MAINto open the Main
Menu.
Select PHONEBOOKand then
press OK
ıor ˜MAIN.
Press
NorOto select the alpha-
betical grouping which your con-
tact’s name belongs to, press OK
ıor ˜MAINand then select the
required contact.
If the contact has just one phone
number, press OK
ıor ˜MAIN
to start the call.
If the contact has multiple phone
numbers, press OK
ıor ˜MAIN
to view the different phone numbers
and then select the required one by
NorOand press OK ıor
˜MAINto start the call.
To end the phone call, press
˜MAINfor longer than 1 second.
}
Or, using voice interaction:
Assume you would like to call the
contact “John” in your mobile
phone phonebook.
Press
‘and pronounce “Call
John” or “Call John (on/at) Mo-
bile“ (in the previous statement, the
keyword “Mobile” represents the
type of phone number you would
like to call. The phone number type
can either be “(at) Home”, “(at)
Work”, or “(on/at) Other”).
If the name is recognized, the sys-
tem will display the recognized con-
tact’s information (John, in the ex-
ample) on the display screen.
If John has just one phone number,
the system will ask if you would like
to call John. To start the call say
“Yes”, otherwise say “No”.
If John has several phone numbers,
the system will ask which phone
number you would like to call (e.g.:
“Call John (at) Work or (at)
Home?”). Answer with the type of
required phone number (e.g.: “(at)
Home”). If John has several phone numbers
but the “location” (i.e.: the type of
phone number like work, home,
etc.) is missing, the system will dis-
play the selected contact and a list
of related phone numbers.
To call the displayed phone number,
pronounce “Call”.
If the contact is correct but the
phone number is wrong, you can
surf the phone number list manual-
ly by pressing
NorO. When you
find the required number, press
˜MAINor OK ıto start the call.
To end the phone call, press
˜MAINfor longer than 1 second.
Practical hint
When you call a contact with multiple
phone numbers, use the “at location” por-
tion of the voice command (e.g.: “(at)
Home”, “(at) Work”, “(on/at) Mo-
bile”). This will shorten the amount of
steps required to make the phone call.

Dialling a phone number using
voice commands
}
To dial a phone number using voice
interaction, proceed as follows:
Press
‘and pronounce “Dial”.
The system will respond with
“Number, please”.
Pronounce the phone number as a
sequence of single digits (e.g.: “0”,
“1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7”, “8”,
“9”, “+” (plus), “#” (pound) or “*”
(star).
For example, 0113290103 has to be
pronounced as: “zero, one, one,
three, two, nine, zero, one, zero,
three”.
The system will repeat the complete
phone number and display it.
If the number is complete, pro-
nounce “Dial”. If you have not fin-
ished speaking the phone number,
then pronounce the remaining dig-
its and then pronounce “Dial”.The system will start the call to the
displayed phone number.
To end the phone call, press
˜MAINfor longer than 1 second.
You can pronounce the sequence of
phone number digits in “digit
groups” which allows you to verify
the recognized number in several
small portions. Digit groups are cre-
ated by the pauses you use while
pronouncing the sequence of digits.
If you pause after pronouncing sev-
eral digits, a digit group is created.
The system will repeat the recog-
nized digits.
If the spoken digits are correct, you
can continue pronouncing the
phone number. If the spoken digits
are incorrect, you can delete the
digit group by pronouncing
“Delete”. The system will delete
the last group of numbers and dis-
play the partially-dialled phone num-
ber. Then, you can re-pronounce
the digit group and also the re-
maining phone number digits.
To cancel the phone call, pronounce
“Cancel”.
To cancel the phone call and start
dialling again, pronounce “Start
over”.To ask the system to repeat the rec-
ognized phone number, pronounce
“Repeat”. If no phone number was
dialled, the system says “No num-
ber available”.
If the repeated phone number is
correct, pronounce “Dial” to start
the call.
Note
When dialling a phone number by voice
commands, it is essential to minimize
background noise in the vehicle and to ask
the other passengers to keep silent while
you are speaking digits. Since the system
is of the speaker independent type it can
recognize also other voices; there is there-
fore the risk that some numbers are ac-
cidentally recognized, added to correct
numbers or not recognized.
