Dodge Challenger SRT8 (2009 year). Manual

Call Continuation
Call continuation is the progression of a phone call on the
uconnect

威 phone after the vehicle ignition key has been

switched to OFF. Call continuation functionality avail-
able on the vehicle can be any one of three types:

• After the ignition key is switched to OFF, a call can

continue on the uconnect

威 phone either until the call

ends, or until the vehicle battery condition dictates
cessation of the call on the uconnect

威 phone and

transfer of the call to the cellular phone.

• After the ignition key is switched to OFF, a call can

continue on the uconnect

威 phone for a certain dura-

tion, after which the call is automatically transferred
from the uconnect

威 phone to the cellular phone.

• An active call is automatically transferred to the

cellular phone after the ignition key is switched to
OFF.

Emergency Assistance
If you are in an emergency and the cellular phone is
reachable:

• Pick up the phone and manually dial the emergency

number for your area.

If the phone is not reachable and the uconnect

威 phone is

operational, you may reach the emergency number as

⬙Emergency⬙ and the uconnect威 phone will instruct
the paired cellular phone to call the emergency num-
ber. This feature is supported in the U.S., Canada, and
Mexico.

NOTE:

• The emergency number dialed is based on the country

where the vehicle is purchased (911 for the U.S. and

Canada and 060 for Mexico). The number dialed may
not be applicable with the available cellular service
and area.

• If supported, this number may be programmable on

some systems. To do this, press the PHONE button
and say ‘Setup’, followed by ‘Emergency’.

• The uconnect威 phone does slightly lower your chances

of successfully making a phone call as to that for the
cellular phone directly.

WARNING!

Your phone must be turned on and paired to the
uconnect

威 phone to allow use of this vehicle feature

in emergency situations, when the cellular phone has

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

威 phone.

Voice Mail Calling
To learn how to access your voice mail, refer to

⬙Working

with Automated Systems.

⬙

Working with Automated Systems
This method is 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

威 phone to access a voice mail

system or an automated service, such as a paging service
or automated customer service line. Some services re-
quire immediate response selection. In some instances,
that may be too quick for use of the uconnect

威 phone.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

When calling a number with your uconnect

威 phone that

normally requires you to enter in a touch-tone sequence
on your cellular phone keypad, you can press 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 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 for

navigating through an automated customer service cen-
ter menu structure, and to leave a number on a pager.

You can also send stored uconnect

威 phonebook entries as

tones for fast and easy access to voice mail and pager
entries. To use this feature, dial the number you wish to
call and then press the VOICE RECOGNITION button
and say, “Send.” The system will prompt you to enter the
name or number and say the name of the phonebook
entry you wish to send. The uconnect

威 phone will then

send the corresponding phone number associated with
the phonebook entry, as tones over the phone.

NOTE:

• You may not hear all of the tones due to cellular phone

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
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 asking

⬙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.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Turning Confirmation Prompts ON/OFF
Turning confirmation prompts off will stop the system
from confirming your choices (e.g., the uconnect

威 phone

will not repeat a phone number before you dial it).

• Press the PHONE button to begin.
• After the ⬙Ready⬙ prompt and the following beep, say

⬙Setup Confirmations.⬙ The uconnect威 phone 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 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.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Mute/Un-Mute (Mute OFF)
