Dodge Magnum (2008 year). Manual

UConnect

t 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 your options at any prompt, say

9Help9 following

the beep. The UConnect

t system will play all the options

at any prompt if you ask for help.

To activate the UConnect

t system from idle, simply press

the “Phone” button and follow audible prompts for
directions. All UConnect

t system sessions begin with a

press of the “Phone” button on the radio control head.

Cancel Command
At any prompt, after the beep, you can say

9Cancel9 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

t System to a Cellular Phone

To begin using your UConnect

t system, you must pair

your compatible Bluetooth™ enabled cellular phone.

To complete the pairing process, you will need to refer-
ence your cellular phone owner’s manual. The UCon-
nect

t website may also provide detailed instructions for

pairing.

The following are general phone to UConnect

t System

pairing instructions:

• Press the “Phone” button to begin.
• After the 9Ready9 prompt and the following beep, say

9Setup Phone Pairing.9

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

• When prompted, after the beep, say 9Pair a Phone9 and

follow the audible prompts.

• 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.

• For identification purposes, you will be prompted to

give the UConnect

t 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

t system. However, at any given time,

only one cellular phone can be in use, connected to
your UConnect

t System. The priority allows the

UConnect

t 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

9Advanced Phone

Connectivity

9).

Dial by Saying a Number

• Press the “Phone” button to begin.
• After the 9Ready9 prompt and the following beep, say

9Dial.9

• System will prompt you to say the number you want

call.

• For example, you can say 9234-567-8901.9 The phone

number that you enter must be of valid length and
combination. Based on the country in which the ve-
hicle was purchased, the UConnect

t limits the user

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

from dialing invalid combination of numbers. For
example, in USA, 234-567-890 is nine digits long,
which is not a valid USA phone number - the closest
valid phone number has ten digits.

• The UConnectt system will confirm the phone num-

ber 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 9Ready9 prompt and the following beep, say

“Call.

• System will prompt you to say the name of the person

you want call.

the name of the person you want to call. For example,

you can say

9John Doe,9 where John Doe is a previ-

ously stored name entry in the UConnect

t phone

book. Refer to

9Add Names to Your UConnectt Phone-

book,

9 to learn how to store a name in the phone book.

• Press the “Phone” button to begin.
• After the 9Ready9 prompt and the following beep, say

9Phonebook New Entry.9

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

• When prompted, say the name of the new entry. Use of

phone book entry that you are adding.

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.

t system will allow you to enter up to 32

names in the phone book with each name having up to

four associated phone numbers and designations. Each
language has a separate 32-name phone book accessible
only in that language.

and you may see a message on the phone display that
the Bluetooth link is busy. In this case, the user must
first disconnect or drop the Bluetooth connection to
the UConnect

t and then send the address book entry

via Bluetooth. Please see your phone owners’ manual
for specific instructions on how to drop the Bluetooth
connection.
