Hands-free kit with Bluetooth®wireless technology
and media player
OVERVIEW
Windows Mobile™-based Fiat
Blue&Me™ is a personal telematic system enabling to use communication and
entertainment applications expressly designed for use in the car.
The Blue&Me™ system installed on your
car is equipped with hands-free kit and
media player, and it is preset for future installation of additional services.
The Blue&Me™ system, fully integral
with voice commands, buttons on the
steering wheel and multifunction display
messages, gives you the possibility of interacting with your Bluetooth
technology mobile phone (even if you
keep it in your pocket or bag) without having to take your eyes off the road or removing your hands from the steering
wheel. To use voice commands you are
not required to train the voice recognition
system to recognize your voice. This implies that the system is nearly equally performing with different persons, i.e.: the
voice recognition system is of the “speaker independent” type.
®
wireless
With this system you can also play your
favourite music stored on USB device and
select tracks and playback modes with
both voice commands or buttons on the
steering wheel.
THE HANDS-FREE KIT
The basic characteristic of this hands-free
kit is voice recognition with Bluetooth
wireless technology. With this system you
can make and receive calls safely and securely using either voice commands or
buttons on the steering wheel under whatever driving condition without having to
take your eyes off the road or removing
your hands from the steering wheel, as required by current law regulations.
Bluetooth
®
wireless technology enables
wireless connection between your mobile
phone and the hands-free kit installed on
your car.
To use the hands-free kit, you need a
Bluetooth
®
wireless technology enabled
mobile phone. This hands-free kit gives
you the possibility of interacting vocally
with your mobile phone while driving,
even if your mobile device does not feature this capability. You can also interact
with your mobile phone manually and visually using the steering wheel controls
®
and the instrument panel multifunction display.
For further details on the mobile phones
supported by Blue&Me™, refer to section Blue&Me™ SUPPORTED MOBILE
PHONES.
To get started with Blue&Me™ handsfree kit with voice recognition, you have
to simply pair your Bluetooth
technology enabled mobile phone with the
system.
Pairing is an operation that has to be made
only once.
®
wireless
3
Note
During the mobile phone pairing procedure, Blue&Me™ attempts to detect a
phone equipped with Bluetooth
®
wireless technology within range and then establishes the connection using a Personal
Identification Number (PIN).
Once your phone is paired, you have the
option to transfer your mobile phone contacts to the hands-free kit, to make a
phone call either by using the contacts list
or directly pronouncing the phone number, to answer a call and also to answer
another incoming phone call.
To interact with Blue&Me
™
you can use
either buttons on the steering wheel and
voice commands. With voice recognition,
you can perform system function by
speaking voice commands, also identified
as “keywords”. When the system recognizes a keyword, it will respond with the
appropriate action. Voice recognition is an
easy and convenient way to use
Blue&Me™.
All the system functions are available within the Blue&Me
™
Main Menu. When the
car is not moving, you can surf through the
menu using either buttons on the steering
wheel and voice commands. When you
are travelling, you can interact with
Blue&Me™using buttons on the steer-
ing wheel or voice commands relevant only to phone functions (Last calls and
Phonebook) and media player. To activate settings when travelling you can only use voice commands.
The hands-free kit enables the following
operations:
❒
Contact calling by voice - you can call
a contact in your mobile phone phonebook using your voice. You can also call
a contact in your phonebook by scanning through the entries on the multifunction display.
(To use this option you have to transfer
your mobile phone contacts to the handsfree kit phonebook).
❒
Digit-dialling by voice - you can dial a
phone number by speaking the digits to
be dialled.
❒
Receiving phone calls - you can accept an incoming call simply by pressing
a button on the steering wheel.
❒
Conference Call - you can call another contact while you are engaged in a
phone conversation (with Bluetooth
®
phones supporting this option)
❒
Call waiting - while engaged in a phone
conversation, you can receive notification of another incoming phone call, answer the other incoming phone call, and
switch between two ongoing phone conversations. (Call waiting is only supported by a subset of compatible mobile
phones).
After you place your mobile phone in the
car environment and create a pairing relationship with Blue&Me™, you can make
phone calls by speaking keywords or pressing buttons on the steering wheel. When
using the hands-free phone, the audio output of a phone conversation is heard
through your car sound speakers.
4
MEDIA PLAYER
With the Blue&Me™ media player you
can play, via the car sound system, the digital audio files stored on a USB device by
simply connecting it to the USB port located in the car.
In this way, while you are driving you can
play your favourite personal music collections.
The media player enables the following operations:
❒
Digital audio playback - you can play
all your digital audio files (.mp3, .wma,
.wav) or play a customized playlist (.m3u
or .wpl format).
❒
Audio file selection by category you can play all audio files of a certain
category, e.g.: album, artist or genre.
❒
Playback options - while playing tracks
you can select the following options: Play,
Stop, Next track, Previous track, Shuffle and
Loop track.
Note
The media player does not support audio
files compressed with other formats (e.g.:
.aac) and DRM (Digital Right Management)
protected audio files. Non-supported audio files that may be present on the USB
device will be ignored.
To use the media player, you have to simply connect (directly or by an extension
lead) your USB device to the car USB
port. Turning the ignition key to MAR,
Blue&Me™ will start building your media library. At the end of this operation
you can surf the whole library and scroll
its categories as required using the buttons on the steering wheel or voice commands. Blue&Me™ will then play your
selection via the car sound system.

quences.
Keep User’s Guide in the car: when kept in the car, the User’s Guide will be a ready reference for you and other users unfamiliar with the
system. Please make certain that before using the system for the first time, all persons have access to the User’s Guide and read its instructions
and safety information carefully.
WARNING: Operating certain parts of this system while driving can distract your attention away from the road, and possibly
cause an accident or other serious consequences. Do not change system settings or enter data non-verbally (using your
hands) while driving. Stop the car in a safe and legal manner before attempting these operations. This is important since
while setting up or changing some functions you might be required to distract your attention away from the road and remove your hands from the wheel.
Voice Command Control: functions within the system may be accomplished using only voice commands. Using voice commands while dri-
ving allows you to operate the system without removing your hands from the wheel.
Prolonged Views of Screen: do not access any function requiring a prolonged view of the screen while you are driving. Pull over in a safe
and legal manner before attempting to access a function of the system requiring prolonged attention. Even occasional short scans to the screen
may be hazardous if your attention has been diverted away from your driving task at a critical time.
Volume Setting: do not raise the volume excessively. Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear outside traffic and emergency signals while driving. Driving while unable to hear these sounds could cause an accident.
Use of Speech Recognition Functions: speech recognition software is inherently a statistical process which is subject to errors. It is your
responsibility to monitor any speech recognition functions included in the system and address any errors.
Distraction Hazard: any features may require manual (non-verbal) setup. Attempting to perform such set-up or insert data while driving can
seriously distract your attention and could cause an accident or other serious consequences. Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner before
attempting these operations.

VOICE COMMANDS
Voice commands can be pronounced by
the driver, which does not need to change
his/her normal driving position to be heard
by the system, since the microphone is
properly located and oriented to this purpose.
Voice commands, which are words recognized by the system, are identified as
“keywords”.
The hands-free phone system recognizes
and responds to a preset list of voice commands. The list of available voice commands depends on the keyword level that
you are currently on. The current list is always available by pressing
nouncing “Help” or, pronouncing “Help”
after whichever question of the system.
Blue&Me™ also recognizes personalized
versions of voice commands like the name
of a contact in your phonebook.
There is no voice training required for using voice commands with this system.
.
‘
and pro-
To issue a voice command to the system,
press
that voice recognition is active. Then,
speak the command in your natural voice
at a moderate pace. When the system recognizes the command, it will acknowledge
your command by speaking a response or
acting on your command.
Voice commands are organized according
to three increasing levels: 1
el and 3rdlevel.
When a valid* 1
nounced, the system will activate 2ndlevel keywords; when a valid 2ndlevel keyword is pronounced, the system will activate 3rdlevel keywords.
and wait for the tone indicating

st
level keyword is pro-
* Valid means that the keyword pronounced is included in the Blue&Me™ “dictionary” and that can therefore be recognized by
the system for the concerned level.
13
If the user pronounces a valid 1stlevel keyword, then the submenu relevant to that
command will remain active until a keyword leading to another level is given or
the interaction is interrupted; the same
rule applies for the other lower levels (2
and 3rdlevel).
nd
For the list of available keywords, re-
fer to section VOICE COMMANDS
(KEYWORDS) - SUMMARY.
To repeat the last system voice announcement, press
second or press shortly ‘and pronounce “Repeat”.
The system can issue voice announcements. A voice announcement is a spoken
message initiated by the system. To cancel a voice announcement, press
or press ‘and pronounce “Cancel”.
A voice interaction is a two-way communication/spoken exchange between system
and user. To initiate a voice interaction,

help system, say “Help Listen to the list
of currently available commands and decide on which command you’d like to issue to the system.
Adjust the volume of phone calls to a level that is comfortable and safe while the
car is in motion. To adjust the default volume of Blue&Me™, see paragraph “EXTERNAL AUDIO VOL function” in the
sound system owner handbook. To temporarily adjust the volume of the current
phone call, press + or – or adjust the po-
sition of the radio knob. After the phone
call is disconnected, the volume will revert
back to the original level.
You can press + or – also to adjust the
volume of the current Blue&Me™ voice
announcement.
Please remember that to interrupt a voice
announcement, you can always press
at any time during a voice interaction and
give a new voice command.
Note
❒
Instructions concerning voice commands are identified in the text by symbol }.
‘
Notes
❒
After you press ‘, if you do not issue a voice command within a few seconds, the system will prompt you to
pronounce a voice command. If you do
not respond, then voice recognition
shuts off. It is the same case with not
responding to a question during a voice
interaction. You will hear a tone indicating when voice recognition is deactivated.
❒
When the system fails to recognize
your voice command, it will give you another opportunity to re-pronounce the
voice command. If you are unsure of
whether the voice command is appropriate for the given context, pronounce
“Help”.
14
Using voice recognition
The voice recognition system may occasionally misrecognize a voice command.
To ensure that your voice commands are
always recognized by the system, use the
following guidelines:
❒
After pressing ‘, pronounce the voice
command after the system plays a tone
indicating that voice recognition is active.
❒
After the system asks a question, wait
for one second before pronouncing the
response to ensure that voice recognition is active.
❒
If you want to pronounce a command
without waiting that the system has finished its announcement or question,
you can press again shortly ‘to interrupt what the system is saying and
pronounce your command.
❒
Speak at a normal volume.
❒
Pronounce words clearly, in your natural voice at a moderate pace, without
stops.
❒
If possible, try to minimize background
noise in the car.
❒
Ask the other passengers to keep silent
while you are pronouncing voice commands to prevent misunderstanding
since the system could recognize other words (in addition to or different
from your voice command) if several
people are speaking.
❒
If your car has a convertible top, close
it before using voice recognition.
Notes
As concerns countries where the version
in native language is not available, voice
recognition of the different commands and
phonebook contacts could be difficult.
You are therefore recommended to adopt
a pronunciation/accent meeting the lan-
™
guage present on Blue&Me
.
To change the voice recognition language
contact Fiat Dealership or consult the
dedicated site at www.fiat.com.

HANDS-FREE KIT
FUNCTIONS
Blue&Me™ lets you make and receive
phone calls on your Bluetooth®wireless
technology-enabled mobile phone using
voice commands (keywords) or steering
wheel buttons.
By using voice commands, you can make
calls to people in your phonebook by pronouncing their first and/or last name, or
you can make phone calls to numbers not
stored in your phonebook by pronouncing the digits of the phone number.
By using steering wheel buttons, you can
make phone calls to people in your phonebook or call history list by selecting the associated item in the LAST CALLS or
PHONEBOOK submenus.
In addition, you can use other calling features such as responding to incoming calls,
redial, callback and call waiting.
If you encounter difficulties with any of
the voice recognition operations, consult
section HANDS-FREE KIT - TROUBLESHOOTING.

sequence of single digits (e.g.: “0”,
“1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7”, “8”,
“9”, “+” (plus), “#” (pound) or “*”
(star).
For example, 0113290103 has to be
pronounced as: “zero, one, one,
three, two, nine, zero, one, zero,
three”.
The system will repeat the complete
phone number and display it.
If the number is complete, pronounce “Dial”. If you have not finished speaking the phone number,

‘
The system will start the call to the
displayed phone number.
To end the phone call, press
/MAIN for longer than 1 second.
ß
You can pronounce the sequence of
phone number digits in “digit
groups” which allows you to verify
the recognized number in several
small portions. Digit groups are created by the pauses you use while
pronouncing the sequence of digits.
If you pause after pronouncing several digits, a digit group is created.
The system will repeat the recognized digits.
If the spoken digits are correct, you
can continue pronouncing the
phone number. If the spoken digits
are incorrect, you can delete the
digit group by pronouncing
“Delete”. The system will delete
the last group of numbers and display the partially-dialled phone number. Then, you can re-pronounce
the digit group and also the remaining phone number digits.
To cancel the phone call, pronounce
“Cancel”.
To cancel the phone call and start
dialling again, pronounce “Start
over”.
To ask the system to repeat the
recognized phone number, pronounce “Repeat”. If no phone
number was dialled, the system says
“No number available”.
If the repeated phone number is
correct, pronounce “Dial” to start
the call.
Note
When dialling a phone number by voice
commands, it is essential to minimize
background noise in the car and to ask the
other passengers to keep silent while you
are speaking digits. Since the system is of
the speaker independent type it can recognize also other voices; there is therefore the risk that some numbers are accidentally recognized, added to correct
numbers or not recognized.
