The UConnect\3system is fully integrated with the vehi-
cle’s audio system. The volume of the UConnect\3 system
can be adjusted either from the radio volume control
knob or from the steering wheel radio control (right
switch), if so equipped.
The radio display will be used for visual prompts from
the UConnect\3 system such as \6CELL\6or caller ID on
certain radios.
Operation
Voice commands can be used to operate the UConnect \3
system and to navigate through the UConnect\3 menu
structure. Voice commands are required after most
UConnect\3 system prompts. You will be prompted for a
specific command and then guided through the available
options.
•Prior to giving a voice command, one must wait for
the beep, which follows the \6Ready\6prompt or another
prompt.
•For certain operations, compound commands can be
used. For example, instead of saying \6Setup\6and then
\6Phone Pairing,\6 the following compound command
can be said: \6Setup Phone Pairing.\6
•For each feature explanation in this section, only the
combined form of the voice command is given. You
can also break the commands into parts and say each
part of the command when you are asked for it. For
example, you can use the combined form voice com-
mand\6Phonebook New Entry,\6 or you can break the
combined form command into two voice commands:
\6Phonebook\6 and\6New Entry.\6 Please remember, the
UConnect\3 system works best when you talk in a
normal conversational tone, as if speaking to someone
sitting a few feet/meters away from you.

•For identification purposes, you will be prompted to
give the UConnect\3system a name for your cellular
phone. Each cellular phone that is paired should be
given a unique phone name.
•You will then be asked to give your cellular phone a
priority level between one and seven, with one being
the highest priority. You can pair up to seven cellular
phones to your UConnect\3 system. However, at any
given time, only one cellular phone can be in use,
connected to your UConnect\3 system. The priority
allows the UConnect\3 system 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
UConnect\3 system will use the priority three cellular
phone when you make a call. You can select to use a
lower priority cellular phone at any time (refer to
\6Advanced Phone Connectivity\6 in this section).

you can say \6John Doe,\6where John Doe is a previ-
ously stored name entry in the UConnect\3 phonebook
or downloaded phonebook. To learn how to store a

recommended when the vehicle is not in motion.
•Press the PHONE button to begin.
•After the \6Ready\6prompt and the following beep, say
\6Phonebook New Entry.\6

\6Robert\6 instead of \6Bob.\6
•When prompted, enter the number designation (e.g.,
\6Home,\6\6Work,\6\6Mobile,\6 or\6Pager\6). This will allow
you to store multiple numbers for each phonebook
entry, if desired.
•When prompted, recite the phone number for the
phonebook entry that you are adding.
After you are finished adding an entry into the phone-
book, you will be given the opportunity to add more

•This downloaded phonebook cannot be edited or
deleted on the UConnect\3. These can only be edited on
the mobile phone. The changes are transferred and
updated to UConnect\3on the next phone connection.
Phonebook Download — Single Entry
If equipped and supported by your phone, UConnect \3
allows the user to download entries from their phone via
Bluetooth\3. To use this feature, press the PHONE button
and say “Phonebook Download.” The system prompts,
“Ready to accept “V” card entry via Bluetooth\3…” The
system is now ready to accept phonebook entries from
your phone using the Bluetooth\3 Object Exchange Profile
(OBEX). Please see your phone Owner’s Manual for
specific instructions on how to send these entries from
your phone.
NOTE:
•The phone handset must support Bluetooth\3 OBEX
transfers of phonebook entries to use this feature.
•Some phones cannot send phonebook entries if they
are already connected to any system via Bluetooth \3,
and you may see a message on the phone display that
the Bluetooth\3 link is busy. In this case, the user must
first disconnect or drop the Bluetooth\3 connection to
the UConnect\3 system, and then send the address
book entry via Bluetooth\3. Please see your phone
Owner ’s Manual for specific instructions on how to
drop the Bluetooth\3 connection.
•If the phonebook entry is longer than 24 characters, it
will only use the first 24 characters.

•After the\6Ready\6prompt and the following beep, say
\6Setup Confirmations.\6 The UConnect\3system will
play the current confirmation prompt status and you
will be given the choice to change it.
Phone and Network Status Indicators
If available on the radio and/or on a premium display
such as the instrument panel cluster, and supported by
your cellular phone, the UConnect\3 system will provide
notification to inform you of your phone and network
status when you are attempting to make a phone call
using UConnect\3. The status is given for roaming, net-
work 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 UConnect\3 system (while dial-
ing via the cellular phone keypad, the user must exercise
caution and take precautionary safety measures). By
dialing a number with your paired Bluetooth \3cellular phone, the audio will be played through your vehicle’s
audio system. The UConnect\3
system 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 UConnect\3 system 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 UConnect\3 system, 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 UConnect\3 system:
•Press the VOICE RECOGNITION button.
•Following the beep, say\6Mute.\6
