Convenient operating tips for us ing the voice recognition function
Examples of effective voice commands in various categories are displayed on the voice
recognition screen.
NOTE
The voice command examples shown in this manual are only a partial list of the available
commands. Some commands may be unusable depending on the vehicle specifications.
Some commands cannot be used depending on the device connection conditions and the
use conditions.
When the Barge-In setting is on, voice commands can be made even while the voice
guidance is being announced. For details on Barge-In, refer to the System Settings section
in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
For details on voice commands which can be used on the navigation screen, refer to the
navigation system manual.
To prevent misunderstood voice commands, be aware of the follow ing points:
Connect your mobile phone to Bluetooth® before operating the mobile phone using voice
recognition.
After pressing the talk/pick-up button, wait for the beep befor e speaking a command.
Speaking in a slightly louder voice will improve voice recognit ion, but an excessively
loud voice is unnecessary. Try t o speak in a slightly louder voice than when talking to
other passengers in the vehicle.
You do not need to speak slowly. Speak at a normal speed.
When calling a person in the device's phonebook, the recognitio n rate increases the longer
the name is. Errors may occur with names that are short such as “Mama”, “Home”, or
“wife”.
Speak clearly, without pausing between words or numbers.
Voice commands other than those specified, cannot be recognized . Speak in the wording
specified by the voice commands.
