Dodge 2500 (2009 year). Instruction - part 7

Far End Audio Performance

• Audio quality is maximized under:

• low-to-medium blower setting,
• low-to-medium vehicle speed,
• low road noise,
• smooth road surface,
• fully closed windows,
• dry weather conditions, and
• operation from the driver’s seat.

• Performance, such as audio clarity, echo, and loudness

to a large degree rely on the phone and network, and
not the uconnect

威 phone.

• Echo at the far end can sometimes be reduced by

lowering the in-vehicle audio volume.

• In a convertible vehicle, system performance may be

compromised with the convertible top down.

Bluetooth

威 Communication Link

Cellular phones have been found to lose connection to
the uconnect

威 phone. When this happens, the connection

can generally be reestablished by switching the phone
off/on. Your cellular phone is recommended to remain in
Bluetooth

威 ON mode.

Power-Up
After switching the ignition key from OFF to either the
ON or ACC position, or after a language change, you
must wait at least five seconds prior to using the system.

VOICE RECOGNITION (VR) SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED

Voice Recognition (VR) System Operation

This Voice Recognition system allows you to
control your AM, FM radio, satellite radio, disc
player, and a memo recorder.

NOTE:

Take care to speak into the Voice Interface

System as calmly and normally as possible. The ability of
the Voice Interface System to recognize user voice com-
mands may be negatively affected by rapid speaking or a
raised voice level.

WARNING!

Any voice commanded system should be used only
in safe driving conditions and all attention should be
kept on the roadway ahead. Failure to do so may
result in an accident causing serious injury or death.

114

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

When you press the VR button, you will hear a beep. The
beep is your signal to give a command.

NOTE:

If you do not say a command within a few

seconds, the system will present you with a list of
options.

If you ever wish to interrupt the system while it lists
options, press the VR button, listen for the beep, and say
your command.

Pressing the VR button while the system is speaking is
known as “barging in.” The system will be interrupted,
and after the beep, you can add or change commands.
This will become helpful once you start to learn the
options.

NOTE:

At any time, you can say the words “Cancel”,

“Help”, or “Main Menu”.

These commands are universal and can be used from any
menu. All other commands can be used depending upon
the active application.

For example, if you are in the disc menu and you are
listening to FM radio, you can speak commands from the
disc menu or from the FM radio menu.

When using this system, you should speak clearly and at
a normal speaking volume.

The system will best recognize your speech if the win-
dows are closed, and the heater/air conditioning fan is
set to low.

At any point, if the system does not recognize one of your
commands, you will be prompted to repeat it.

To hear the first available Menu, press the VR button and
say “Help” or “Main Menu”.
