Practical hints
To improve both the voice recognition of your
phonebook entries and Blue&Me™ pro-
nunciation accuracy when repeating the en-
tries, please try to enter contact entries and
memorize them using the following criteria:
❒ Avoid abbreviations.
❒ Write foreign names according to the way
in which they are pronounced according
to the rules of the Blue&Me™ lan-
guage set on your car. For example, en-
ter "Tanja" as "Tanya", to improve recog-
nition accuracy and also to obtain the cor-
rect pronunciation by the system.
❒ When adding or editing contact entries, in-
sert the appropriate accent marks when
the name requires these marks to be prop-
erly pronounced and recognized by the sys-
tem. For example enter "Nicolo Rebora"
as "Nicolò Rébora" to obtain the correct
pronunciation.
❒ When adding or editing contact entries,
bear in mind that certain isolated block
letter may be read as Roman numerals
(e.g.: V may be read as fifth).
❒ When calling contacts by voice, do not in-
clude the middle names or middle initials
of your contacts.

Notes
❒ You are only required to pair your mobile
phone a single time.
❒ You can pair up to five mobile phones, to
be used one at a time.
❒ On your paired mobile phone, the Blue-
tooth ® setting must be turned on in or-
der to connect your mobile phone with
Blue&Me™.
❒ Before transferring your mobile phone
contacts to the hands-free system, make
sure that each contact first and last name
is unique and distinctly recognizable so
that the voice recognition system will
function properly (not all mobile phones
support automatic downloading of the di-
rectory).
❒ The system will download only valid con-
tact entries. A valid contact entry must in-
clude both a name and at least one
phone number.
❒ If you would like to re-pair your mobile
phone, delete the old pairing relationship
first. During this operation all user data
will be deleted. To delete the old pairing
relationship, use the menu option USER
DATA, DELETE USERS. On your mo-
bile phone, delete "Blue&Me" from the
list of Bluetooth devices following the
®
specific instructions for your mobile phone
(refer to your mobile phone owner's man-
ual).
❒ If you download a phonebook with a con-
tacts list including more than 1000 con-
tacts, the system may operate slower
than expected and voice recognition of
the names in your phonebook may de-
grade.
❒ If the pairing relationship is accidentally
deleted, the pairing procedure shall be re-
peated.
