UConnect Hands Free Communications- Complete Instructions

HANDS–FREE COMMUNICATION (UConnect™) — IF EQUIPPED

UConnect™ is a voice-activated, hands-free, in- vehicle communications system.

UConnect™ allows you to dial a phone number with your cellular phone using simple voice commands (e.g., “Call Mike” ”Work” or “Dial 248-555-1212”). Your cellular phone’s audio is transmitted through your vehicle’s audio system; the system will automatically mute your radio when using the UConnect™ system.

NOTE: The UConnect™ system use requires a cellular phone equipped with the

Bluetooth “Hands-Free Profile, version 0.96 or higher. See www.chrysler.com/uconnect for supported phones.

The UConnect™ system is fully integrated with the vehicle’s audio system. The volume of the UConnect™system can either be adjusted from the radio volume control knob, or from the steering wheel radio control (right switch), if so equipped.

The radio display will be used for visual prompts from the UConnect™ system such as “CELL” or caller ID on certain radios.

Operations

Voice commands can be used to operate the UConnect™ system and to navigate through the UConnect™ menu structure. Voice commands are required after most

UConnect™ system prompts. You will be prompted for a specific command and then guided through the available options.

• Prior to giving a voice command , one must wait for the voice on beep, which follows the “Ready” prompt or another prompt.

• For certain operations, compound commands can be used. For example, instead of saying “Setup” and then “Phone Pairing,” the following compound command can be said: “Setup Phone Pairing.”

• For each feature explanation in this section, only the combined form of the voice command is given. You can also break the commands into parts and say each part of the command, when you are asked for it.

For example, you can either use the combined form voice command “Phonebook

New Entry,” or you can break the combined form command into two voice commands: “Phonebook” and “New Entry”. Please remember, the UConnect™ system works best when you talk in a normal conversational tone, as if speaking to some one sitting eight feet away from you.

Voice Command Tree

Refer to “Voice Tree” at the end of this section.

Help Command

If you need assistance at any prompt or if you want to know what your options are at any prompt, say “Help” following the voice on beep. The UConnect™ system will

play all the options at any prompt if you ask for help.

To activate the UConnect™ system from idle, simply press the "Phone" button and follow audible prompts for directions. All UConnect™ system sessions begin with a press of the ’Phone’ button on the mirror.

Cancel Command

At any prompt, after the voice on beep, you can say “Cancel” and you will be returned to the main menu. However, in a few instances the system will take you back to the previous menu.

Pair (Link) UConnect™ System to a Cellular Phone

To begin using your UConnect™ system, you must pair your compatible

Bluetooth™ enabled cellular phone.

NOTE: The UConnect™ system use requires a cellular phone equipped with the

Bluetooth “Hands-Free Profile,” version 0.96 or higher. See www.chrysler.com/uconnect for supported phones.

To complete the pairing process, you will need to reference your cellular phone owner’s manual. One of the following vehicle specific websites may also provide detailed instructions for pairing with the brand of phone that you have:

• www.chrysler.com/uconnect

• www.dodge.com/uconnect

• www.jeep.com/uconnect

The following are general phone to UConnect™ System pairing instructions:

• Press the "Phone" button to begin.

• After the “Ready” prompt and the following beep, say “Setup Phone Pairing”.

• When prompted, after the voice on beep, say “Pair a Phone".

• You will be asked to say a four-digit pin number which you will later need to enter into your cellular. You can enter any four-digit pin number. You will not need to remember this pin number after the initial pairing process.

• The UConnect™ system will then prompt you to begin the cellular phone pairing process on your cellular phone. Before attempting to pair phone, please see your cellular phone’s user manual (Bluetooth section) for instructions on how to complete this step.

• For identification purposes, you will be prompted to give the UConnect™ system a name for your cellular phone. Each cellular phone that is paired should be given a unique phone name.

• You will then be asked to give your cellular phone a priority level between 1 and 7,

1 being the highest priority. You can pair up to seven cellular phones to your

UConnect™ system. However, at any given time, only one cellular phone can be in use, connected to your UConnect™ System.

The priority allows the UConnect™ system to know which cellular phone to use if

multiple cellular phones are in the vehicle at the same time. For example, if priority

3 and priority 5 phones are present in the vehicle, the UConnect™system will use the priority 3 cellular phone when you make a call. You can select to use a lower priority cellular phone at any time (refer to “Advanced Phone Connectivity”).

Dial by Saying a Number

• Press the "Phone" button to begin.

• After the “Ready” prompt and the following beep, say “Dial”.

• System will prompt you to say the number you want call.

• For example, you can say “234-567-8901”. The phone number that you enter must be of valid length and combination. The UConnect™ limits the user from dialing invalid combination of numbers. For example, 234-567-890 is nine digits long, which is not a valid phone number - the closest valid phone number has ten digits.

• The UConnect™ system will confirm the phone number and then dial. The number will appear in the display of certain radios.

Call by Saying a Name

• Press the “Phone” button to begin.

• After the “Ready” prompt and the following beep, say "Call".

• System will prompt you to say the name of the person you want call.

• After the “Ready” prompt and the following beep, say the name of the person you want to call. For example, you can say “John Doe”, where John Doe is a previously stored name entry in the UConnect™ phonebook. Refer to “Add Names to Your

UConnect™ Phonebook”, to learn how to store a name in the phonebook.

• The UConnect™ system will confirm the name and then dial the corresponding phone number, which may appear in the display of certain radios.

Add Names to Your UConnect™ Phonebook

NOTE: Adding names to phonebook is recommended when vehicle is not in motion.

• Press the “Phone” button to begin.

• After the “Ready” prompt and the following beep, say “Phonebook New Entry”.

• When prompted, say the name of the new entry. Use of long names helps the voice recognition and is recommended. For example, say “Robert Smith” or “Robert” instead of “Bob”.

• When prompted, enter the number designation (e.g.: “Home”, “Work”, “Mobile” or “Pager”). This will allow you to store multiple numbers for each phonebook entry, if desired.

• When prompted, recite the phone number for the phonebook entry that you are adding. After you are finished adding an entry into the phonebook, you will be given the opportunity to add more phone numbers to the current entry or to return to the main menu.

The UConnect™ system will allow you to enter up to 32 names in the phonebook with each name having up to four associated phone numbers and designations. Each language has a separate 32 name phonebook accessible only in that language.

Edit Entries in the UConnect™ Phonebook

NOTE: Editing phonebook entries is recommended when vehicle is not in motion.

• Press the "Phone" button to begin.

• After the “Ready” prompt and the following beep, say “Phonebook Edit”.

• Next, choose the number designation (home, work, mobile, or pager) that you wish to edit.

• When prompted, recite the new phone number for the phonebook entry that you are editing. After you are finished editing an entry in the phonebook, you will be given the opportunities to edit another entry in the phonebook, call the number you just edited, or return to the main menu.

Note: “Phonebook Edit” can be used to add another phone number to a name entry that already exists in the phonebook. For example, the entry John Doe may have a mobile and a home number, but you can add John Doe’s work number later using the “Phonebook Edit” feature.

Delete Entries in the UConnect™ Phonebook

NOTE: Editing phonebook entries is recommended when vehicle is not in motion.

• Press the ’Phone’ button to begin.

• After the “Ready” prompt and the following beep, say “Phonebook Delete.”

• After you enter the Phonebook Delete menu, you will then be asked for the name of the entry that you wish to delete. You can either say the name of a phonebook entry that you wish to delete or you can say “List Names” to hear a list of the entries in the phonebook from which you choose. To select one of the entries from the list, press the “Voice Recognition” button while the UConnect™ system is playing the desired entry and say “Delete.”

• After you enter the name, the UConnect™ system will ask you which designation you wish to delete: home, work, mobile or pager. Say the designation you wish to delete.

• Note that only the phonebook entry in the current language is deleted. After confirmation, the phonebook entries will be deleted. Note that only the phonebook in the current language is deleted.

Paging

To learn how to page, refer to “Working with Automated Systems”. Paging works properly except for pagers of certain companies which time-out a little too soon to work properly with the UConnect™ system.

Voice Mail Calling

To learn how to access your voice mail, refer to “Working with Automated

Systems”.

Working with Automated Systems

This method is designed to be used in instances where one generally has to press numbers on the cellular phone keypad while navigating through an automated telephone system. You can use your UConnect™ system to access a voicemail system or an automated service, such as, paging service or automated customer service.

Some services require immediate response selection, in some instances, that may be too quick for use of UConnect™ system. When calling a number with your

UConnect™ system that normally requires you to enter in a touch-tone sequence on your cellular phone keypad, you can push the "Voice Recognition" button and say the sequence you wish to enter followed by the word “Send.”

For example, if required to enter your pin number followed with a pound 3 7 4 6 #, you can press the "Voice Recognition" button and say “3 7 4 6 # Send.” Saying a number, or sequence of numbers, followed by “Send” is also to be used to navigate through an automated customer service center menu structure and to leave a number on a pager.

Barge In - Overriding Prompts

The ’Voice Recognition’ button can be used when you wish to skip part of a prompt and issue your voice recognition command immediately. For example, if a prompt is playing “Would you like to pair a phone, clear a...” you could press the "Voice

Recognition" button and say “Pair a Phone” to select that option without having to listen to the rest of the voice prompt.

Turning Confirmation Prompts On/Off

• Press the "Phone" button to begin.

• After the “Ready” prompt and the following beep, say “Setup Confirmations”.

The UConnect™ system will play the current confirmation prompt status and you will be given the choice to change it.

Phone and Network Status Indicators

If available on the radio and/or on a premium display such as the instrument panel cluster, and supported by your cell phone, the UConnect™ system will provide notification to inform you of your phone and network status when you are attempting to make a phone call using UConnect™. The status is given for roaming network signal strength, phone battery strength, etc.

Dialing Using the Cellular Phone Keypad

You can dial a phone number with your cellular phone keypad and still use the

UConnect™ system (while dialing via the cell phone keypad, the user must exercise

caution and take precautionary safety measures). By dialing a number with your paired Bluetooth™ cellular phone, the audio will be played through your vehicle’s audio system. The UConnect™ system will work the same as if you dial the number using voice recognition.

NOTE: Certain brands of mobile phones do not send the dial ring to the

UConnect™ system to play it on the vehicle audio system, so you will not hear it.

Under this situation, after successfully dialing a number, the user may feel that the call did not go through even though the call is in progress. Once your call is answered, you will hear the audio.

Mute/Un-mute (Mute off)

When you mute the UConnect™ system, you will still be able to hear the conversation coming from the other party, but the other party will not be able to hear you. In order to mute the UConnect™ system:
