2017 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL key

Voice command issues
Possible solution
Possible cause
Issue
Make sure that you are saying the name exactly as it appears on your
phone. For example, if your contact is "Joe Wilson", say "Call Joe
Wilson". If your contact name is "Mom", say "Call Mom".
You may not be saying the name exactly
as it appears on your phonebook.
SYNC 3 does not under-
stand or is calling the
wrong contact when I want
to make a call.
Make sure that your contact names do not have any special characters
like *, - or +.
The contact name may contain special
characters.
SYNC 3 applies the phonetic pronunciation rules of the selected
language to the contact names stored on your cell phone.
You may not be saying the name exactly
as it appears on your phonebook.
The SYNC 3 voice control
system is having trouble
recognizing foreign names
stored on my cell phone.
Helpful Hint: You can select your contact manually. Press PHONE.
Select the option for phonebook and then contact name. Press the
soft-key option to hear it. SYNC 3 will read the contact name to you,
giving you some idea of the pronunciation it is expecting.
