An hourglass is shown when data is loading.ELEMENT SELECTIONTo highlight/select active elements (link, selections, input, softkeys) in the card, use the selection knob to the left (rotate). Only the items shown on the screen can be highlighted. If a card takes up more than one screen, the scroll up/down options will be active in the lower bar.CARD SELECTIONOne of the cards in the loaded deck may be selected directly.A WAP site may be accessed by specifying the address or selecting it from the list of bookmarks (if this operation is allowed by the Provider).Phonebook.The address of the WAP site may be stored in the phonebook (bookmarks) and associated with a name if required. The address is stored when the OK key is pressed.

Procedure for general use

Before the phone module can be used, the user must enter a PIN security code whenever the CONNECT system is turned on after being turned off (unless "exclude PIN request" has been set under Settings). Unless the PIN code is entered, the system can be used only for emergency calls (112 in Italy) and not normal user calls or for the Service Call function.If an incorrect PIN is entered three times, the module is bound to request the PUK code to release the block.Management of controls from steering wheelThe phone module can be partly controlled by the buttons on the steering wheel.Audio status repetition on the control panel displayThe CONNECT module sends various information to the control panel via the CAN network on phone section operating status.

Voice recognition

Voice recognition module with speaker dependent functions (Phonebook, Navigation address book, Radio Station memory) and speaker independent functions for Radio, CD, CDC, Phone and Services, Navigation System. The speaker dependent function allows a voice command (prerecorded by the user) to be associated with a phone number in the phonebook, a stored radio station or a destination present in the destination list (personal).The speaker independent functions allow the activation of general controls (e.g.: "Radio Autostore", "CD play", "Navigatore Zoom", ...).Voice commandAfter pressing the VR key, the user can speak a voice command. The module compares the sample with those present in its memory and, if recognised, allows the relevant command to be activated (call one fo the phone numbers in the phonebook, select one of the preset stations as an audio source, start the autostore procedure for the radio stations in the current band, change to CD source, etc...) The system guides the user using voice information (Example - After pressing the VR key, the user says: "Call number" and the Connect responds: "Number please").Speaker dependent functionsRECORDING RADIO VOICE COMMAND: When storing a radio station in one of the positions available in the radio bands (FM1, FM2, FM3….), the user can associate it with a voice command. Upon the user''s request, this gives rise to an initialisation stage when the module asks for a voice command to be entered and repeated and then confirms recording.RECORDING PHONE (NAVIGATION SYSTEM) VOICE COMMAND: When entering a number and associated name in the phone book the user can associate a voice command with this item in the same way as with the radio stations.RECORDING NAVIGATION SYSTEM VOICE COMMAND: When entering a destination in the navigation system address book the user can associate a voice command with this item in the same way as with the radio stations.DELETING A VOICE COMMAND: The voice commands described above may be deleted or modified.Speaker independent functionsThe system does not require an initialisation stage to use this function (i.e. recording of voice samples by the user). Although the terminology has been designed to include commonly used phrases, it is nevertheless advisable to read the keyword table in the Connect User Handbook. As an example, the keywords for the CD player are given below.LANGUAGES AVAILABLE: The following languages are availalbe for requests and communication with the user: Italian, English, French, German, Spanish and European Portuguese.Record voice messagesThis module, known as the Voice Memo, allows the user to record and re-enter voice messages up to 3 minutes long. The messages are recorded sequentially in the frame and a warning message is displayed if the memory contains messages.Recording: the recording activated by the user can last up to 3 minutes and terminates automatically when the available time is up. The user can interrupt the recording manually in any case.Voice memo

The following functions are available:

  • Play: plays the message
  • Stop : interrupts playback or recording
  • SKIP : skips to the next message
  • SKIP : skips to the previous message
  • Record: Starts recording
  • Delete: clears the message memory (individual frames cannot be deleted).

Operation

Once the phone module is activated, it is always possible to make emergency calls to 112 regardless of whether a SIM card is present or a PIN has been entered.When the Telephone module has been activated and no valid SIM card has been inserted, a warning message appears on the screen.Insertion of a valid SIM card makes the phone operational and gives access to its functions.The card must be inserted in its seat with the chip at the front and to the right in relation to the car''s direction of motion.Correct SIM card insertion activates a request to enter the PIN code, as shown in the following figure.
Extraction of the SIM card with the phone active may give rise to temporary malfunction. In this case, turn off the phone by means of a long press on the TEL key or turn off Connect using the ON button before removing the SIM card.
After entering a valid PIN code, the following screen appears. The user can display the phone number to be called on the left part of the display.The lower part shows icons with numbers from 0 to 9 and the “ */+ “ and “ # “ symbols found on a normal phone keypad.

A menu with these items appears on the right side of the display:

  • OTHER MENUS
  • FREQUENT NUMBERS
  • LAST NOS RECEIVED
  • LAST NOS CALLED
  • ADDRESS BOOK
  • WAP
  • VOICE MEMO
1 - Other menus2 - Frequent numbers3 - Last numbers received4 - Last numbers called5 - Address book6 - Wap7 - Voice memo

The Telephone Module functions are the same as for a mobile phone, i.e. in addition to PIN code input/update and emergency calls without a SIM card, the following are also available:

  • call-up of phone numbers saved on the SIM card
  • input of a new phone number on the SIM card
  • deletion of a phone number from the SIM card
  • information on SIM card status (correct or incorrect input)
  • list of the last 10 numbers dialled
  • list of the last 10 calls received
  • text messages
  • DTMF settings
  • select network access provider
  • set incoming call volume
  • display remaining credit in the case of prepaid SIM cards
  • display signal field intensity and other status reports by means of icons and messages
Incoming callsWhichever Connect system mode is active, when a phone call is received, a dialogue box appears over the current display window as shown in the following figure.
To accept the call, give the key with the handset symbol a short pressTo end the call, give the key with the handset symbol a short pressTo refuse the call, give the key with the handset symbol a long pressOutgoing callsTo make a call, go into Telephone mode (TEL key), dial the required user number using the 12 letter/number keys at the bottom. To use an international prefix ("+" character), give the "0" key a long press.After dialling the required phone number, give the key with the "handset" symbol a short press.Wap modeThe term WAP stands for: WIRELESS APPLICATION PROTOCOL.WAP technology makes it possible to access the Internet using a mobile phone when no computer is available.WAP browsing is relatively similar to conventional browsing on the PC but the same performance cannot be expected as with PC Internet access and an ADSL (“Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line”: a technique that allows data to be transferred at high speed over normal phone lines using special Modems) because the graphics are very poor with WAP and the information is reduced to the essentials.Because WAP technology is specific, mobile phones cannot be used to access ordinary WEB sites as with a PC.The Internet supports WEB pages produced with language such as HTML (“Hyper Text Markup Language”: the international language of electronic texts - hypertexts) that are displayed on a PC by means of BROWSERS (Navigators, such as: NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR, INTERNET EXPLORER, etc…).WAP is based on a different language: WML (Wireless Markup Language) with its own Script (another word for Program. usually indicates a program written in a particular language to perform tasks connected with the operating system) with its own image formats and also requiring its own , BROWSER or MICRO- BROWSER to display WEB pages.These BROWSERS are built into the latest WAP mobile phones: if you enter the required settings (indicated below), you are able to access the required WAP sites.For WAP phones, addresses are also in “ HTTP:// ”; the format used for the WEB.WAP pages are located on an HTTP Server and their technical operation is as follows: when a WAP address is entered on the display of a mobile phone, the phone forwards an HTTP request for a WML page resident on a WEB Server.The request is received over the GSM network by the WAP GATEWAY that forwards it to the WEB Server by means of a coding/decoding procedure.At this point, the requested page returns to the WAP GATEWAY that codes/decodes it to route it to the mobile phone that originated the request.This is what happens when the requested content is already in WML format (for mobile phones).The requested pages are often in HTML format (for PC). In this case, the WAP GATEWAY acts as a HTML - WML translator in real time.
In the case of complex sites with lots of graphics, the result on the mobile display could be illegible.
Text messagesIn TEL mode, the user can access the OTHER MENUS screen from the main menu and then select the text message service (Short Message Service - SMS) that allows the reading and sending of short messages up to 160 characters via the GSM phone.
Refer to the Owner''s Handbook for user instructions.
Remember that to user the text message service, you need to enter the Phone Number of the Service Centre of the Service Provider that the user intends to use.To set the service centre phone number, select the following from the text message (SMS) menu: "Centre number".Dial the Service Centre telephone number using the multifunction keys (the service centre phone number is supplied by the user''s SIM card network provider).
