Nametags

Nametags are a unique name or phrase of
your choice which can be used to recall a
radio station or dial a phone number.

For radio commands, ‘PHONE DIAL
<nametag>’ is used to select a station
that has been previously stored using the
‘RADIO STORE NAME’ command.

For phone commands, ‘RADIO TUNE
<nametag>’ is used to dial a phone
number that has been previously stored
using the ‘PHONE ENTER’ or ‘PHONE
STORE’ command. Phone numbers held
in the voice system memory are quite
separate from numbers held in the phone
system memory (To call a number held in
the phone memory, use the ‘PHONE DIAL
MEMORY <number>’ command).

A spoken list of current nametags can be
heard by giving the appropriate directory
command.
• ‘RADIO DIRECTORY’
• ‘PHONE DIRECTORY’

There are also commands for deleting
either individual names in a directory, or a
complete directory, see Voice Command
List on page 340.

Hints on storing nametags
• You will have greater success of

recalling, and remembering,
nametags of two, three, or four words
in length. Although nametags of one
word in length are also acceptable.

• For best results, store nametags in a

quiet environment, i.e. with the
windows and sunroof closed, try not
to be travelling at speeds above
100 km/h (60 mph), and ask other
occupants to be quiet.

• Try not to store a nametag that

sounds similar to a nametag already
stored, or to any of the commands
recognized by the system.

In addition, for phone nametags, do
not use numbers, and for radio
nametags, try not to use radio
frequencies.

Volume level adjustment

The verbal feedback volume level can be
adjusted independently for the
JaguarVoice system. To adjust, operate
the sound system volume control or the
steering wheel volume control whilst the
voice system is being used. The speaker
volume level can also be adjusted within
the volume preset menu of the audio
system.

Some useful notes:
• Only one person at a time can use the

voice system.

• Excessive noise, for example while

driving with windows open or in
demist mode, may cause voice
command misrecognition. If it is too
noisy to use the phone, it is likely that
voice commands will not be
recognised.

• Voice commands cannot be given

while hands-free phone call or radio
traffic announcement is in progress.

• If the voice button is pressed whilst a

radio traffic announcement is in
progress, the announcement will be
cancelled. Press the voice button
again to start a voice session.

• While ‘LISTENING’ is displayed on the

message centre, the command can
be cancelled by pressing the same
voice button (could be a rear voice
button) that was used to start the
voice session, except when using the
‘PHONE ENTER’ command. To
cancel a ‘PHONE ENTER’ voice
session either say ‘CANCEL’ when
‘LISTENING’ is displayed or press the
voice button and after the end of the
beep say ‘CANCEL’. During a store
nametag session, if the voice button is
pressed and released during
‘LISTENING’, the system will cancel
after up to two seconds.

• Voice feedback can be interrupted by

pressing the voice button that was
used to start the voice session, whilst
the feedback is playing.

• After starting to speak, the command

must be completed within
ten seconds.

• During a voice command the audio

system and direction indicator ticking
will be muted.

• The voice session will be cancelled if

an alternative message requires the
display/speaker (e.g. incoming phone
call or radio traffic announcement).
