❒Blue&Me™will ask if you would like
to copy your paired phone phonebook
to Blue&Me™. It is recommended to
copy it. To start copying the phonebook
say “Yes”, otherwise say “No”.
❒For certain mobile phones the phone-
book is not copied automatically, in this
case you must transfer the phonebook
contacts using your mobile phone key-
pad. If Blue&Me™asks you to do this,
then perform this procedure following
the instructions specific to your mobile
phone and press
ßwhen you have fin-
ished. MAKING A PHONE CALL
Assume that “John” is one of the contacts
stored in your phonebook.
To call John, proceed as follows:
❒Press the steering wheel button ‘and
pronounce “Call John”.
❒If the name is recognized, the system
will display the recognized contact’s in-
formation on the display screen.
If there is just one phone number for John
in your phonebook, 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 sys-
tem will display the selected contact and
a list of related phone numbers. The
hands-free phone system will ask if you
would like to call the phone number dis-
played. To respond with “yes”, pronounce
“Yes”, otherwise pronounce “No”. If this
is the correct contact but the wrong num-
ber, say “Forward” or “Backward” to
navigate to the phone number you’d like
to call. To call the displayed phone num-
ber, pronounce “Call”. You can also surf
the phone number list manually by press-
ing the buttons on the steering wheel
Qor Zuntil you find the required number.
Now, press
ßor OKto start the call.
❒To end the phone call, press ßfor
longer than 1 second.

HOW TO USE
Blue&Me™
CONTROLS STEERING WHEEL
Buttons on the steering wheel (see fig. 1)
are used to perform functions on the
hands-free kit, activating voice recognition,
using the media player functions or select-
ing a Blue&Me™menu option.
Certain buttons have multiple functions
which depend on the current state of the
system.
The function chosen in response to a key
press is in some cases controlled by the
duration of the key press (short or long).
For further information read chapter
DISPLAY AND BUTTONS ON THE
STEERING WHEEL.
Note
Instructions concerning manual controls
are identified in the text by symbol
?.VOICE COMMANDS
Voice commands can be pronounced by
the driver, which does not need to change
his/her normal driving position to be heard
by the system, since the microphone is
properly located and oriented to this pur-
pose.
Voice commands, which are words rec-
ognized by the system, are identified as
“keywords”.
The hands-free phone system recognizes
and responds to a preset list of voice com-
mands. The list of available voice com-
mands depends on the keyword level that
you are currently on. The current list is al-
ways available by pressing
‘and pro-
nouncing “Help” or, pronouncing “Help”
after whichever question of the system.
Blue&Me™also recognizes personalized
versions of voice commands like the name
of a contact in your phonebook.
There is no voice training required for us-
ing voice commands with this system.To issue a voice command to the system,
press
‘and wait for the tone indicating
that voice recognition is active. Then,
speak the command in your natural voice
at a moderate pace. When the system rec-
ognizes the command, it will acknowledge
your command by speaking a response or
acting on your command.
Voice commands are organized according
to three increasing levels: 1
stlevel, 2ndlev-
el and 3rdlevel.
When a valid* 1
stlevel keyword is pro-
nounced, the system will activate 2ndlev-
el keywords; when a valid 2ndlevel key-
word is pronounced, the system will ac-
tivate 3
rdlevel keywords.
If the user pronounces a valid 1
stlevel key-
word, then the submenu relevant to that
command will remain active until a key-
word leading to another level is given or
the interaction is interrupted; the same
rule applies for the other lower levels (2
nd
and 3rdlevel).
For the list of available keywords, re-
fer to section VOICE COMMANDS
(KEYWORDS) - SUMMARY.
* Validmeans that the keyword pronounced is included in the Blue&Me™“dictionary” and that can therefore be recognized by
the system for the concerned level.

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
ßto open the Main Menu.
Select PHONEBOOKand then
press OKor
ß.
Press
QorZto select the alpha-
betical grouping which your con-
tact’s name belongs to, press OKor
ßand then select the required con-
tact.
If the contact has just one phone
number, press OKor
ßto start the
call.
If the contact has multiple phone
numbers, press OKor
ßto view the
different phone numbers and then
select the required one by
QorZand press OKor ßto start the call.
To end the phone call, press
ßfor
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,

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
ßfor
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 in-
correct, you can delete the digit
group by pronouncing “Delete”.
The system will delete the last group
of numbers and display the partially-
dialled phone number. Then, you can
re-pronounce the digit group and al-
so the remaining phone number dig-
its.
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 car 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 rec-
ognize also other voices; there is there-
fore the risk that some numbers are ac-
cidentally recognized, added to correct
numbers or not recognized.
