2009 RAM CHASSIS CAB Owners Manual

The UConnect\3system is driven through your
Bluetooth\3 “Hands-Free Profile” cellular phone.
UConnect\3 features Bluetooth\3 technology - the global
standard that enables different electronic devices to con-
nect to each other without wires or a docking station, so
UConnect\3 works no matter where you stow your cellu-
lar phone (be it your purse, pocket, or briefcase), as long
as your phone is turned on and has been paired to the
vehicle’s UConnect\3 system. The UConnect\3 system
allows up to seven cellular phones to be linked to the
system. Only one linked (or paired) cellular phone can be
used with the system at a time. The system is available in
English, Spanish, or French languages.
Phone Button The rearview mirror contains the microphone
for the system (depending on the type of
mirror and radio equipped), and either the radio or the mirror has the two control buttons (PHONE
Button and VOICE RECOGNITION button) that will
enable you to access the system.
Voice Recognition Button
Actual button location may vary with the ra-
dio. The individual buttons are described in the
“Operation” section.
The UConnect\3 system can be used with any Hands-Free
Profile certified Bluetooth\3 cellular phone. See the
UConnect\3 website for supported phones. If your cellu-
lar phone supports a different profile (e.g., Headset
Profile) you may not be able to use any UConnect \3
features. Refer to your cellular service provider or the
phone manufacturer for details.

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.

Help Command
If you need assistance at any prompt, or if you want to
know your options at any prompt, say\6Help\6following
the beep. The UConnect\3 system will play all the options
at any prompt if you ask for help.
To activate the UConnect\3 system from idle, simply press
the PHONE button and follow the audible prompts for
directions. All UConnect\3 system sessions begin with a
press of the PHONE button on the radio control head.
Cancel Command
At any prompt, after the beep, you can say \6Cancel\6and
you will be returned to the main menu. However, in a
few instances the system will take you back to the
previous menu.
Pair (Link) UConnect\3 System to a Cellular Phone
To begin using your UConnect\3 system, you must pair
your compatible Bluetooth\3 enabled cellular phone. To complete the pairing process, you will need to refer-
ence your cellular phone Owner’s Manual. The
UConnect\3
website may also provide detailed instruc-
tions for pairing.
The following are general phone to UConnect\3 system
pairing instructions:
•Press the PHONE button to begin.
•After the \6Ready\6prompt and the following beep, say
\6Setup Phone Pairing.\6
•When prompted, after the beep, say \6Pair a Phone\6and
follow the audible prompts.
•You will be asked to say a four-digit Personal Identi-
fication Number (PIN), which you will later need to
enter into your cellular phone. You can enter any
four-digit PIN. You will not need to remember this PIN
after the initial pairing process.

•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).
