Voice Recognition and Phone Contact Tips
The system may have difficulty understanding
some accents or uncommon names . Improve
the performance by making a few simple
changes to your phone contacts, listed below .
To help optimize the Bluetooth® Wireless
Technology Voice Recognition system, see
other tips and reminders under Quick Tips:
•Use full names (first and last names) vs .
short or single-syllable names (e .g ., “John
Smith” vs . “Dad," “Smith Residence” vs .
“Home”)
•Avoid using special characters, emojis or
hyphenated names (e .g ., @, &, #, /, -, *,
+, etc . )
•Avoid using acronyms (e .g ., “In Case of
Emergency” vs . “ICE”) or words with all
capital letters
•Spell words completely, no abbreviations
(e .g ., “Doctor Smith” vs . “Dr . Smith”)
• When placing a call, speak in a natural, moderate tone, with clear pronunciation . The system may have trouble recognizing commands if you speak too softly or too loudly
• Always wait for the beep before speaking any commands
• Close windows and turn off A /C - Open windows, weather (wind/rain), or an A /C fan operating at higher speeds can interfere with Voice Recognition
