List of voice commands
Voice command types
Voice commands are categorized
into ‘Global Commands’ and ‘Local
Commands’.
1) Global Commands (● ): Commands
that can be used immediately after
voice recognition is started.
2) Local Commands (O): Commands that can be used when radio,
media or
Bluetooth®Wireless
Technology phone functions are
running or displayed on the screen
after voice recognition is started.

Audio system
546Phone voice commands
Voice commands associated with phone functions can
be used after a
Bluetooth®Wireless Technology device
has been connected.
To use voice commands using contact names, such as ‘Call John Smith’, download contacts beforehand.
After contacts are downloaded over
Bluetooth®
Wireless Technology, some time may be required for
conversion of contact info into voice data. During this
conversion, phone calls cannot be made by saying con-
tact names. The time required for contact info conver-
sion depends on the number of entries in Contacts.
When the ‘Call ’ command is used, the name info saved in the downloaded contacts is used. If a
friend with the name ‘John Smith’ is saved to Contacts
under the nickname ‘Buddy’, ‘Call John Smith’ is not
recognized as a valid command. Instead, ‘Call Buddy’ is
recognized.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
When dialing by name, if there are similar names or
multiple subentries (mobile, work, home, other), you
may be prompted to select the contact desired from a
list.
