To Store a Number and Voice Tag in Memory
^ Enter the number you wish to store. We suggest you enter the area code for all phone numbers stored in memory locations. Many cellular systems, when you are roaming require an area code in order to place a call.
If you make a mistake, pressing Clear will clear a digit. Pressing and holding Clear will erase all entered digits.
^ Press Store, followed by the desired 2-digit memory location (01-99), using the handset keypad. The location you've selected will be displayed to confirm it storage.
^ Next, the phone will respond with "Directory name, please". Pause a moment and say the name of the person whose number you have just entered. Repeat the name as requested. The phone will respond "Done training ... " when it has finished storing the voice tag.
You can store up to 10 voice tags associated with any 10 of the 99 memory locations. Typically, these 10 voice tags will be used with your 10 most frequently called numbers. When you have stored all 10 voice tags, the phone will respond "Directory full" instead of "Directory name, please".
As a suggestion, please make your voice tags as distinct as possible. Use first and last names or two-syllable words where possible. In cases where names sound similar, us a last name or other identifier which will distinguish the two. Also, use a normal, clear tone of voice, and do not attempt to store while the vehicle is in motion, since irregular background noise inhibits proper voice storage. Finally, make sure the doors, sunroof and windows are closed during voice tag storage.
If the phone does not hear your response, you will hear "Ready!". Press Store and the two-digit memory location again to re-store the voice tag.
More About Voice Recognition
Voice recognition provides for the safest possible operation of your BMW phone. Using the stalk control levers, you can place a call without taking your hands off the wheel or your eyes off the road. In addition, the voice recognition feature of your phone removes much of the background road and fan noise which may be heard by to people you call.
Voice recognition allows you to store voice tags for any ten of the phone numbers you have stored. Typically, you will want to store voice tags for the ten people you call the most frequently.
Use a normal, calm tone of voice when you store a voice tag. Do not store voice tags when the vehicle is in motion, since the irregular background noise inhibits proper storage, making recognition more difficult. Also, turn the fan speed to low, and close all windows and the sunroof. Whenever there is too much background noise for storage, the phone will respond with "Sorry, too noisy to train". Instead of "Directory name, please".
Make your voioe tags as distinct as possible. If you have both "Rob" and "Bob" stored, it is very possible the phone will recognize the wrong voice tag, thus placing a call to the wrong person. Use first and last names, or two-syllable names, if possible.
The message "Memory full" indicates that you cannot store any more spoken names. This may happen, even if the limit of 10 names has not been reached because some of the stored names are longer than usual.
If, when placing a call, the phone does not hear a response to "Name, please", you will hear "Ready", and no call will be placed.
If the phone cannot match the name you are saying with any stored names, you will hear "Again, please" or "Repeat, please". Repeat the name, or press End to start over. If the phone cannot match the name after three attempts, you will hear "Name not recognized".
If you speak too softly, the phone will respond with "Louder, please".
If you have not stored any voice tags in memory, but try to place a call with voice recognition, the phone will respond with "Directory empty".
