OVERVIEW
Blue&Me™Nav Nav based on Windows
Mobile™ is a personal telematic system that
allows the use of communication, entertainment and navigation applications specifically designed for in-car use.
The Blue&Me
your vehicle has the following functions:
hands-free, SMS text reader (not all mobile
phones support this function), multimedia
player and navigator; it is also prepared for
additional services that will become available in the course of time.
The Blue&Me
gral with voice commands, buttons on the
steering wheel and multifunction display
messages, gives you the possibility of interacting with your Bluetooth®wireless
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

This implies that the system is nearly equally performing with different persons, i.e.:
the voice recognition system is of the
“speaker independent” type.
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.

ROAD SAFETY
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; for this reason certain func-
tions shall only be used when driving conditions are secure and, if required, only when the car is stopped.
WARNING
Read and Follow Instructions: before using your system, read and follow all instructions and safety information provided in this end
user manual (“User’s Guide”). Not following precautions found in this User’s Guide can lead to an accident or other serious consequences.
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.
GENERAL OPERATION
Voice Command Control: functions within the system may be accomplished using only voice commands. Using voice commands while driving al-
lows 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
and pronouncing “Help” or,
‘
pronouncing “Help” after whichever question of the system. Blue&Me
™
Nav al-
so 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.
To issue a voice command to the system,
press
and wait for the tone indicating
‘
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
st
level, 2ndlevel and
3rdlevel.

the keyword “Mobile” represents
the type of phone number you would
like to call. The phone number type
can either be “(at) Home”, “(at)Work”, or “(on/at) Other”).
If the name is recognized, the system
will display the recognized contact’s
information (John, in the example)
on the display screen.
If John has just one phone number,
the system will ask if you would like
to call John. To start the call say
“Yes”, otherwise say “No”.
If John has several phone numbers,
the system will ask which phone number you would like to call (e.g.: “Call
John (at) Work or (at) Home?”). Answer with the type of required phone

The system will respond with “Num-
ber, please”.
Pronounce the phone number as a se-
quence 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

‘
2222
The system will start the call to the
displayed phone number.
To end the phone call, press
longer than 1 second.
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”.
ß
To cancel the phone call and start dialling again, pronounce “Start
for
over”.
To ask the system to repeat the rec-
ognized phone number, pronounce
“Repeat”. If no phone number was
dialled, the system says “No num-ber 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.
Dialling a phone number
using the mobile phone
keypad
Alternatively, you can dial a phone
number using your mobile phone key-
?
pad and then continue your conversation using the hands-free phone system.
