CELLULAR CAR TELEPHONE
Congratulations... By choosing the Audiovox CTX-
4200 cellular telephone, you have joined the thou-
sands of satisfied customers who are enjoying the
benefits and quality performance that only an
Audiovox cellular telephone can provide.
Your Audiovox CTX - 4200 has been designed to
meet the same standards of quality that has made
Audiovox the leading supplier of cellular telephones
in the United States.
This fourth generation cellular telephone combines
the most advanced technology with the latest high
tech design to offer you even more enhanced features
than ever before.
The CTX-4200 can be converted into a transporta-
ble phone with the addition of the optional accessory
TCT-400. In the transportable mode, the CTX-
4200 provides longer standby time than previous
models, making cellular communications even more
convenient.
The styling of the CTX - 4200 is sleek and trim and
features a new mini transceiver. In addition, the CTX
- 4200 cellular car telephone offers an outstanding
array of enhanced features such as one touch speed
dialing that enables you to dial your most frequently
called numbers with just one touch of a button. The
one touch dialing feature eliminates the four steps
normally required to make a call allowing you to
concentrate on the road. Voice activated dialing that
allows for up to 20 numbers to be dialed by your
voice command; repertory dialing permits you to
store and recall up to 99 of vour frequently called
numbers; a large, easy to read alpha numeric display
with alpha search that allows vou to retrieve tele-
phone numbers by names or initials; and a 15 second
outgoing message feature that allows you to leave a
personal message to the calling party upon leaving
your vehicle.
Your CTX - 4200 also includes a RJ11 jack that
allows your phone to be interfaced with a laptop
computer or facsimile machine; an auto answer fea-
ture that will automatically answer the phone after
the second ring allowing you to talk to the calling
party without touching the handset (in hands-free
mode); and automatic number storage which elimi-
nates the problem of accidentally writing over a
previously stored number, by storing numbers in the
first vacant memory location.
The CTX -4200 also has multi-city registration,
which allows registration of your phone in multiple
cities and saves on costly roaming charges, and 911
emergency calling, even if your phone is in the locked
or restricted modes.
The flexible mounting system allows for the phone to
be installed in a second vehicle with the addition of
an optional second vehicle installation kit,
For all its high tech sophistication, the Audiovox
CTX - 4200 Cellular Telehone is surprisingly easy
to use; with its built-in function review menu, you can
review at the touch of a button, what keys to use in
order to access the many different features.
And the Audiovox cellular car telephone is a no
nonsense, high quality instrument, rugged enough for
off - road use as well as high speed freeway vibration.
The following pages, which describe the unit's func-
tions and many of its components, will help you to
make the easiest and most efficient use of the
Audiovox CTX - 4200 cellular car telephone.

VOICE ACTIVATED DIALING
This feature allows the user to dial frequently called
numbers by voice command. Once you pre-program
the names and phone numbers you frequently call, all
you do is press any digit key on the keypad until you
hear a change in tone.
Then, simply say the name of the person you wish to
call. The Voice Activated Dialing System recognizes
the name, repeats the name and then automatically
dials the phone number. Voice recognition occurs
either through the handset or through the hands-free
microphone.
For best results when using voice activated dialing,
remember that pronunciation and the lowest level
background noise possible are of extreme impor-
tance.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PAGES. CARE-
FULLY TO ASSURE OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE
OF THIS ATTRACTIVE FEATURE.
1. Pronunciation
To accurately recall a particular name or word, the
name or word must be spoken as closely to the way
it was recorded as possible. There are many vari-
ables in the way a word is pronounced. Even if you
believe you say a word exactly the same way twice,
an analysis by an electronic ear shows there are
actually many differences such as pronouncing speed,
tone quality, pitch, intonation, etc. The user’s control
of these factors can vastly increase the recognition
capability. Therefore, it takes a certain amount of
practice to use the voice activated dialing system
efficiently.
Here are some hints to help control the factors just
mentioned:
I9
1) Relax and speak clearly in a “normal” tone.
2) When using hands-free, it may be necessary to
speak a little louder than you would when using
the handset. |
3) Don't speak too quickly or too slowly. For accu-
rate recognition, use words that are approximate-
ly 1 second in duration.
4) When making a call, try to speak the same way as
when you programmed the system to recognize
your voice (see next paragraph).
5) When using the handset, keep your mouth about
one inch from the mouthpiece. With hands-free
microphone, use 5 to 8 inches for better recogni-
tion,
2. Refining the Programming (for better recogni-
tion)
Refining the Programming is the technique for teach-
ing the system to recognize your voice during the
“NAME” part of the phone number programming
procedure.
1) A beep tone after your “NAME” pronunciation
for programming indicates that your pronuncia-
tion level or speed is not acceptable to the system.
Try changing your voice level or speed slightly.
If a beep tone ts still heard, try replacing the word
with another.
2) Some words may be more easily recognized than
others. If you have significant difficulty program-
ming a word with the system, try changing the
word to another one.
3) If there is a short pause between two words, the
system may recognize them as two separate
words rather than one word. If this happens, you
will hear beep tones before finishing your registra-
tion, Either say the words together so the system
recognizes it as only one word, or change it to a
single word.
4) When you complete the progamming procedure,
try the recognition of each registered word sev-
eral times with the handset. In case the recogni-
tion is poor, try the programming procedure for
that particular memory address again.
The performance of this system may be somewhat
influenced by surrounding background noise. It is
recommended that you close the windows, switch off
the radio, turn off windshield wipers(if possible), etc..
Relatively loud noises picked up by either the hand-
set or the hands-free microphone can have an adverse
effect on the recognition capabilities of this system.
