Voice Command Issues
Possible Solution(s)
Possible Cause(s)
Issue
Say the song or artist
exactly as listed. If you say "Play Artist Prince", the
system does not play music
by Prince and the Revolution or Prince and the NewPower Generation.
You may be saying the
name differently than the way you saved it.
Make sure you are saying thecomplete title, such as
"California remix featuring Jennifer Nettles".
If the song titles are in all CAPS, you have to spell
them. LOLA requires you to say "L-O-L-A".
The system may not be
reading the name the same way you are saying it. Do not use special charac-
ters in the title. The system does not recognize them.
Review the Phone voice
commands at the beginning of the phone section.
You may be using the wrong voice commands.
SYNC does not understand or is calling the wrong
contact when I want to make a call. Make sure you are saying the
contacts exactly as they are
listed. For example, if you save a contact as JoeWilson, say "Call Joe Wilson".
Using the SYNC phone
menu, open the phonebook and scroll to the name
SYNC is having trouble
understanding. SYNC will
read the name to you, giving you some idea of the
pronunciation SYNC is expecting.
You may be saying the
name differently than the way you saved it.
