TELEPHONE VOICE RECOGNITION
Telephone Voice Recognition
IMPORTANT
Voice control enables you to activate important
functions of your telephone system, without the
need to operate the controls manually. This
enables you to concentrate fully on driving the
vehicle, you do not need to divert your eyes from
the road ahead in order to check read-outs, and the
voice control system feeds back information to you.
A number of voice commands are available and,
with a little experience, you will find them easy and
convenient to use. Whenever you issue one of the
defined commands with the system active, the
voice control system converts your command into a
control signal for the telephone system. Your inputs
take the form of dialogues or commands. You are
guided through these dialogues by announcements
or questions. Please familiarise yourself with the
functions of your telephone system, before using
voice control.
WARNING
Do not use the voice control for placing
emergency calls. Your voice and tone could be
affected by stressful situations as a result of
which, the process of establishing the
telephone connection could be unnecessarily
delayed
Making Yourself Clearly Understood
The voice control system includes a special hands-
free microphone mounted in the roof lining of your
vehicle, at the front. This microphone filters out
ambient noise. There are nevertheless a few points
to observe in making sure you are properly
understood:
•Speak continuously and at normal volume,
avoiding unnatural emphasis and pauses between
words.
•Do not speak while the voice control system itself
is giving an output. The voice system gives a beep
when it is waiting for a speech input.
•It is possible that noise interference from outside
the vehicle could affect commands so to avoid this
keep doors, windows and the sunroof closed.
•If a command is not understood or your speech
was not heard, the voice system responds with
‘Sorry’, ‘Command not recognised’ or ‘No
speech detected’. Please try again if this happens.
•Avoid causing background noise in the vehicle
while you are speaking and ask your passengers
not to talk while you are issuing voice commands.
•The hands-free microphone is positioned to pick
up the driver’s voice. Other occupants of the
vehicle could be understood with less accuracy and
are, therefore, advised to use the handset when
making a telephone call.
Note:
The voice recognition directory is separate
from your phone handset SIM card/
addressbook/phonebook.
