Dodge 2500 (2009 year). Instruction

After you are finished adding an entry into the phone-
book, you will be given the opportunity to add more
phone numbers to the current entry or to return to the
main menu.

The uconnect

威 phone 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. In addition, if equipped and
supported by your phone, uconnect

威 phone automati-

cally downloads your cellular phone’s phonebook.

Phonebook Download – Automatic Phonebook
Transfer From Cellular Phone
If equipped and specifically supported by your phone,
uconnect

威 phone automatically downloads names (text

names) and number entries from the cellular phone’s
phonebook. Specific Bluetooth

威 Phones with Phone Book

Access Profile may support this feature. See uconnect

威

website for supported phones.

• To call a name from downloaded (or uconnect威)

Phonebook, follow the procedure in “Call by Saying a
Name” section.

• Automatic download and update, if supported, begins

as soon as the Bluetooth

威 wireless phone connection is

made to the uconnect

威 phone, for example, after you

start the vehicle.

• A maximum of 1000 entries per phone will be down-

loaded and updated every time a phone is connected
to the uconnect

威 phone.

• Depending on the maximum number of entries down-

loaded, there may be a short delay before the latest
downloaded names can be used. Until then, if avail-
able, the previous downloaded phonebook is available
for use.

• Only the phonebook of the currently connected cellu-

lar phone is accessible.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

• Only the cellular phone’s phonebook is downloaded.

SIM card phonebook is not part of the Mobile phone-
book.

• This downloaded phonebook cannot be edited or

deleted on the uconnect

威 phone. These can only be

edited on the cellular phone. The changes are trans-
ferred and updated to uconnect

Bluetooth

威…” The system is now ready to accept phone-

book entries from your phone using the Bluetooth

威

Object Exchange Profile (OBEX). Please see your phone
Owner’s Instruction for specific instructions on how to send
these entries from your phone.

NOTE:

• The phone handset must support Bluetooth威 OBEX

transfers of phonebook entries to use this feature.

• Some phones cannot send phonebook entries if they

are already connected to any system via Bluetooth

威,

and you may see a message on the phone display that
the Bluetooth

威 link is busy. In this case, the user must

first disconnect or drop the Bluetooth

威 connection to

the uconnect

威 phone, and then send the address book

entry via Bluetooth

威. Please see your phone Owner’s

Instruction for specific instructions on how to drop the
Bluetooth

威 connection.

• If the phonebook entry is longer than 24 characters, it

will only use the first 24 characters.

network configurations. This is normal.

• Some paging and voice mail systems have system time

out settings that are too short and may not allow the
use of this feature.

Barge In - Overriding Prompts

your cellular phone, the uconnect

威 phone will provide

notification to inform you of your phone and network
status when you are attempting to make a phone call
using uconnect

威 phone. 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

威 phone (while dialing

via the cellular phone keypad, the user must exercise
caution and take precautionary safety measures). By
dialing a number with your paired Bluetooth

威 cellular

phone, the audio will be played through your vehicle’s
audio system. The uconnect

威 phone will work the same

as if you dial the number using voice recognition.

NOTE:

Certain brands of cellular phones do not send

the dial ring to the uconnect

威 phone 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.
