Commonly used voice commands –
SYNC… say the word
Every time you want to give SYNC a voice command, you
must first pull the voice control and when prompted,
speak your voice command. For a list of voice commands
say “What can I say?”
Using My Phone with SYNC:
Note: You must download your phone book to make phone
calls with voice commands by name. Contacts listed in all caps
will require you to spell them (i.e. JAKE, will be J-A-K-E).
Making a phone call: Use SYNC to make a phone call to
anyone in your phone book by pulling the voice control
and when prompted, giving any of the following
voice commands:
Call
Call
For example, you could say “Call Jake Smith at home”. SYNC
repeats the command back to you and dials the number.
Note:
• You can also make phone calls by pulling
and when
prompted, giving the voice command “Dial”, then verbally
saying the phone number.
Answering incoming calls: Whenever you have an incoming
call, you will be able to see the name and number of the
person calling in your display. Press the phone button
to
answer an incoming call. You can hang up at any time by
pressing and holding the phone button
. Do not disturb mode: This feature blocks incoming calls
and text messages, and saves them for later. You still have
access to outgoing calls when this feature is active. Say the
voice command, “Do not disturb on” to enable and “Do not
disturb off” to disable.
Using SYNC to access digital media
SYNC has a media hub with multiple inputs allowing you
to access personal media from your digital devices. Plug in
your USB media devices such as phones and MP3 players
and use SYNC to play all of your favorite music. Note: SYNC
indexes your music. The more music that is stored on your
device, the longer it takes SYNC to index.
Using voice commands to play music: You can use voice
commands to access and play music on your digital media
player when it is plugged into your media hub
1)
Plug your media player into your USB port.
2) Pull the voice control
. When prompted say
“USB”, then follow-up saying one of the following
voice commands.
“Play all” “Play next song”
“Play song
3) You will hear the command repeated back to you and the
selected item will play.

most out of your SYNC experience. This includes voice-
activated, turn-by-turn directions, the latest traffic reports,
business searches, sports scores, stock market reports and
more. Say the voice command, “Services”, and SYNC will
