Voice command issues Possible solution(s) Possible cause(s) Issue Review the phone voice commands and the media voice commands at the beginning of their respective sections. You may be using the wrong voice commands. You may be speaking too soon or at the wrong time. SYNC does not understand what I am saying. After pressing the voice icon, wait until after the tone sounds and Listening appears before saying a command. Any command spoken before this does not register with the system. Review the media voice commands at the beginning of the media section. You may be using the wrong voice commands. You may be saying the name differently than the way you saved it. SYNC does not understand the name of a song or artist. Say the song or artist exactly as listed. If you say "Play Artist Prince", the system does not play music by Prince and the Revolution or Prince and the New Power Generation. The system may not be reading the name the same way you are saying it. Make sure you are saying the complete title, such as "California remix featuring Jennifer Nettles". If the song titles are in all CAPS, you have to spell them. LOLA requires you to say "L-O-L-A". Do not use special charac- ters in the title. The system does not recognize them.

Voice command issues Possible solution(s) Possible cause(s) Issue Make sure you are saying the contacts exactly as they are listed. For example, if you save a contact as Joe Wilson, say "Call Joe Wilson". The system may not be reading the name the same way you are saying it. Contacts in your phonebook may be very short and similar, or they may contain special characters. Using the SYNC phone menu, open the phonebook and scroll to the name SYNC is having trouble understanding. SYNC will read the name to you, giving you some idea of the pronunciation SYNC is expecting. Your phonebook contacts may be in CAPS. The system works better if you list full names, such as "Joe Wilson" rather than "Joe". Do not use special charac- ters, such as 123 or ICE, as the system does not recog- nize them. If a contact is in CAPS, you have to spell it. JAKE requires you to say "Call J- A-K-E".
