Voice Training

The voice system is able to interpret most
English speakers without difficulty. If,
however, you find that commands are
sometimes not being recognised, you can
train the voice system to recognize your
voice. The voice system can be trained for
two people using voice memories A
and B.

After Voice Training, the system will
automatically recognise the users whose
voices are held in the voice memory. The
system can still be used by other users,
with no loss of recognition.

Training procedure

Training can only be carried out whilst
sitting in the driver’s seat.

Give the command ‘VOICE DIRECTORY’,
this will list the memories used and tell
you if they are stored with a nametag.

If no memories are in use, either memory
can be used.

If both memories are in use and you wish
to overwrite one of the memories, select
the memory you wish to overwrite.
• First, select which voice memory to

train.

• Position the vehicle, with the sunroof

and windows closed, in a reasonably
quiet outdoor location.

• Sit in the driving seat with the engine

running, the handbrake or Electric
parking Brake (EPB) on and the
transmission in Park or Neutral.

• Press and release the MODE button

on the radio (adjacent to the volume
control). Mode level 1 will display.
Press the MODE button repeatedly
until ‘ADV MODE N/Y’ is displayed.
Turn the volume control to select
‘ADV MODE YES’ Press the MODE
button repeatedly until ‘VOICE A’ is
displayed. To select ‘VOICE B’ press
the MODE button again.

• With ‘VOICE A’ or ‘VOICE B’

displayed on the radio press the seek
up control to start Voice Training.
Once you have selected which
memory to use, the system gives
verbal instructions about the training
procedure.

• Follow the instructions given by the

system. See Training Command List
on page 346.

• To cancel Voice Training at any time

press and hold the voice button for
five seconds.

Note:

•

Some of the phrases which the voice
system asks you to repeat during
Voice Training are not valid voice
commands, these are used to collect
specific phonetic phrases required by
the system.

•

If the user does not speak after a
phrase prompt, the voice system will
provide two reminder prompts then
cancel Voice Training.

•

The voice system turns off the phone
whilst in training mode, so it will need
to be turned on manually after Voice
Training has finished.

VOICE NOT READY

The voice system is initialising (when
ignition is first turned on). It takes the
voice system approximately
ten seconds to initialise.

NO SPEECH
DETECTED

The voice system has not heard any
speech.
• Ensure that the command is given

after the end of the beep.

• Ensure that the command is given

within a maximum of five seconds
from the end of the beep.

Note: Be sure you know what to say
before pressing the Voice button.

If this error is displayed for all
commands given this may indicate a
fault with the microphone or microphone
wiring, consult your Jaguar Dealer for
assistance.

COMMAND

Displayed if the user cancels a voice
session during the LISTENING period or
another system interrupts the voice
session (i.e. incoming phone call or

COMMAND NOT
RECOGNISED

The voice system has failed to recognise
your command.
• Ensure that the command format is

valid, see Voice Command List on
page 340.

• Ensure that the command is given

after the end of the beep.

• Look forward and speak clearly

without pausing between words and
at a level appropriate to the ambient
noise level; imagine you are making
a hands-free phone call.

• Ensure that the ambient noise level

is not excessive, for example,
windows open or demist on.

Note: If it is too noisy to use the
phone, it is likely that voice
commands will not be recognised.

• If optional words of the command

have been omitted, then the
command should be tried with these
in place.

• If a number of commands have been

given in rapid succession resulting in
the message ‘COMMAND NOT
RECOGNISED’ to be displayed, then
allow the system to recover
(approximately one minute) before
trying the command again.

• If the system consistently fails to

recognise commands, the voice
training procedure should be carried
out to improve the recognition
response for the speaker.
