Radio Reception

Unplug electronic devices from the accessory power outlets if there is interference or static in the radio.
FM
FM signals only reach about 16 to 65 km (10 to 40 mi). Although the radio has a built-in electronic circuit that automatically works to reduce interference, some static can occur, especially around tall buildings or hills, causing the sound to fade in and out.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at night. The longer range can cause station frequencies to interfere with each other. Static can also occur when things like storms and power lines interfere with radio reception. When this happens, try reducing the treble on the radio.
SiriusXM Satellite Radio Service
If equipped, SiriusXM Satellite Radio Service provides digital radio reception. Tall buildings or hills can
Page 18
Cadillac User Experience (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-11434397) - 2018 - crc - 5/2/17
RADIO 17
interfere with satellite radio signals, causing the sound to fade in and out. In addition, traveling or standing under heavy foliage, bridges, garages, or tunnels may cause loss of the SiriusXM signal for a period of time.
Cell Phone Usage
Cell phone usage, such as making or receiving phone calls, charging, or just having the phone on may cause static interference in the radio. Unplug the phone or turn it off if this happens.

Backglass Antenna

The AM-FM antenna is integrated with the rear window defogger in the rear window. Do not scratch the inside surface or damage the lines in the glass. If the inside surface is damaged, it could interfere with radio reception. For proper radio reception, the
antenna connector needs to be properly attached to the post on the glass.
If attaching a cell phone antenna to the glass, attach it between the grid lines.
Caution
Using a razor blade or sharp object to clear the inside rear window can damage the rear window antenna and/or the rear window defogger. Repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not clear the inside rear window with sharp objects.
Caution
Do not apply aftermarket glass tinting with metallic film. The metallic film in some tinting materials will interfere with or distort the incoming radio reception. Any damage caused to the backglass antenna due to metallic tinting materials will not be covered by the vehicle warranty.

Multi-Band Antenna

The roof antenna is for OnStar and GPS (Global Positioning System). Keep clear of obstructions for clear reception. If the vehicle has a sunroof, and it is open, reception can also be affected.

Continue to touch and hold, and any additional special characters associated with that letter are displayed around the current letter. To select one of the special characters, slide a finger left or right to adjust the highlight of the special character.
When the alternate keyboard is used, the system remembers it the next time it is viewed.
Character Handwriting Recognition
Character handwriting recognition is offered as an alternative to using a keyboard. This character input method allows the drawing out of characters instead of picking them out from the keyboard. Character handwriting recognition has two main modes, Upper Case and Mixed Case. The Upper Case mode is used for Destination Entry while Mixed Case is used for all other character entry modes. This feature is available by touching the globe button from the keyboard screen.
The Handwriting Recognition screen is split into different zones:
.
Drawing Pad

If mixed case character mode is supported, the last buttons of character recognition will be upper and lower case.
One-Shot Search
Enter a full or partial Address, Contact, or POI into the search bar and the system will search and display all of the matches.
The contacts that are searched include both the connected phones contacts list and the vehicles contacts list.
Search Process
The process of prioritizing the search is to help shorten the length of time at finding the results. If there is a 100% match found when a search type is carried out, the remaining searches abort.
The system conducts the search in the following order:
1. Vehicle Contacts List
2. Connected Phone Contacts List
3. POIs
4. Addresses
The Contacts are done first because the list will be relatively short and can be done quickly.
POIs are done next because the amount of time it takes to search for the average POI is consistent. The less deviation during a search would mean an average of less time taken.
Page 71
Cadillac User Experience (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-11434397) - 2018 - crc - 5/2/17
70 NAVIGATION
The Addresses are last because the standard deviation for an address search is very large. Some address searches are very quick, but others may take very long. Because of this, the address search would not be conducted unless a good match could not be found in either Contacts or POIs.
Autocomplete
The autocomplete is preloaded with all recent destinations and POI category names. Previous POI name searches are remembered.
If only one type of result is found, the single type result screen is shown. Within each group, they are listed in confidence order. This means the highest confidence result will be at the top.
If multiple types of matches are found, the result list with the highest confidence match displays.
Address and Contact matches are shown in full width list format. The match results will display unique
icons for full addresses, streets, intersections, cities, states, and countries.
POIs show in a split list format with the map on the right displaying the locations of the matches. The brand icon or category icon will display for the match results.
When a list displays, the results for a particular type can be filtered by touching the filter buttons along the top of the screen. If there are no particular results for a selected type, a message is indicated in the list.
For example:
.
For no addresses: No Addresses Found Within <state/region>
.
For no POIs: No POIs Found Within<75 km/50 mi/800 km/ 500 mi>.This distance is shown depending on what radius is completed and what current units are selected.
.
For no contacts: No Contacts Found.
The system performs partial searches on contacts, so typing a first name or last name would find a match. The
entire contact name does not need to be entered for it to be found in a search.
Touching a contact listed on the results list displays the standard contact details view to select an item, such as an address to start routing, or a phone number to place a call.
Address
.
A destination can be searched by typing out the address, intersection, highway, or freeway entrance ramps on the keyboard. This information is typed and displayed in the information field. Touch the search icon to start the search.
For example:
City: Crawford

.
State information does not have to be included in the search field if entering an address that is located in the same state.
.
Whenever the keyboard view is entered, the last text that was typed, even if it was not searched on, will display.
.
A partial or complete address can be typed in the search field. If a partial address is typed, the system attempts to use local knowledge to fill in additional information. For example, if no city name or state are given, the system assumes a search for something in the current city or a nearby city in the current state. The system is also capable of recognizing address formats according to other regions.
If a destination address or location being entered is outside of the country, the country abbreviation must be added after the address.
Spelling Mistakes
The system is able to offer alternatives if the searched term is not found exactly. The system uses the closest term it finds and provides those results.
The system first searches the entered term exactly. If no matches are found, partial words are used.
Search in Process
Touch the Search button, and the results screen displays with the activity indicator. There is a non-selectable List item in the list that says Searchingto indicate that it is in process.
Once the results are found, the correct list screen will display.
No Results Found
If no results are found from an entered search term, a pop-up displays indicating there are no results found. Touch the OK screen button to return to the keyboard view.

VOICE RECOGNITION 89

Voice Recognition

Voice recognition allows for hands-free operation within the navigation, audio, phone, and weather applications. This feature can be
started by pressing wheel or
display.
However, not all features within these areas are supported by voice commands. Generally, only complex tasks that require multiple manual interactions to complete are supported by voice commands.
For example, tasks that take more than one or a two button touch such as selecting a song or artist to play from a media device would be supported by voice commands. Other tasks, like adjusting the volume or seeking up or down, are audio features that are easily performed by touching one or two buttons, and are not supported by voice commands.
In general there are flexible ways to speak commands for completing the tasks. Most of them, except destination entry and voice keypad,
g on the infotainment
g on the steering
can be completed in a single command. If the task takes more than one command to complete, the first command should be to indicate the kind of task to be per formed, like Navigation Destination Entry.The system replies with prompts that lead you through a dialog to enter the necessary information. For example, if a destination for route guidance is needed, say Navigationor Destination Entry.
If your language supports it, try stating a One-Shot command, such as Navigate to Address one two three Main Street, Lansing Michigan.This type of destination entry command is supported in some languages. Another example of a One-Shot Destination Entry command is, Navigate to Place of Interest – Hotels.If these commands do not work, try saying,
Navigate to Place of InterestorNavigate to Addressand the system
will do the rest.
Voice recognition can be used when the ignition is on or when Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is active. See Retained Accessory Power (RAP)in the owner manual.
Using Voice Recognition
Voice recognition becomes available once the system has been initialized. This begins when the ignition is turned on. Initialization may take a few moments.

3. Wait until after the beep completes, then clearly speak one of the commands described in this section.
A voice recognition system prompt can be interrupted while
it is playing by pressing
For example, if the prompt seems to be taking too long to finish,
press
g again and the beep
should happen right away.
There are two voice prompt modes supported:
.
Long verbal prompts: The longer prompts provide more information regarding the supported actions.
.
Short prompts: The short prompts provide simple instructions about what can be stated.
If a command is not spoken, the voice recognition system says a help prompt.

interaction in the voice recognition session is permitted. Interaction during a voice session may be completed entirely using voice commands, or some selections may expedite a session. If a selection is made using a manual control, the dialog will progress in the same way as if the selection was made through a voice command. Once the system is able to complete the task, or the session is terminated, the voice recognition dialog stops.
An example of this type of manual intervention is touching on an entry of a displayed number list instead of speaking the number associated with the entry desired.
Canceling Voice Recognition
.
Touch the Home screen button. Touching this button will terminate the voice recognition session.

Touch or say Cancelor Exitto terminate the voice recognition session and display the screen from which voice recognition was initiated.
.
Press

controls to terminate the voice session and display the screen from which voice recognition was initiated.
Most languages do not support natural language commands in sentence form. For those languages, use direct commands like the examples shown on the display.
Helpful Hints for Speaking Commands
Voice recognition can understand commands that are either naturally stated in sentence form or direct commands that state the application and the task.
For best results:
.
Listen for the prompt and wait for the beep before saying a command or reply.
.
Say Helpor look at the infotainment display for example commands.
.
A voice recognition system prompt can be interrupted while it is
playing by pressing
g again.

VOICE RECOGNITION 91
For example, if the prompt seems to be taking too long to finish, to speak the command without waiting for the prompt to
complete, press for the beep.
.
Speak the command naturally, not too fast, not too slow. Use direct commands without a lot of extra words.
.
Usually Phone and Audio commands can be spoken in a single command.
For example, Call Dave Smith at work,” “Playfollowed by the artist or song name, or Tunefollowed by the radio station number.
.
Navigation destinations are too complex for a single command. First, state a command that explains the type of destination needed, such as I want directions to an Address,” “Navigate to an intersection,” “I need to find a Place of Interest or POI,or Directions to a Contact.The system responds with requesting more details. After saying Place of Interest,only major chains are

available by name. Chains are businesses with at least 20 locations. For other POIs, say the name of a category like
Restaurants,” “Shopping Malls,orHospitals.
Some languages support complete destination requests in a single command. If your language supports it, try stating a One-Shot command such as, Navigate to Address one two three Main Street, Lansing Michigan. Another example of a One-Shot Destination Entry command is, Navigate to Place of Interest – Hotels.If these commands do not work, try saying Navigate to Place of Interestor Navigate to Addressand the system will come back and ask for details of your destination.
Most languages do not support natural language commands in sentence form. For those languages, use direct commands like the examples shown on the display.
There is no need to memorize specific command words. Direct commands might be more clearly understood by the system. An example of a direct
command would be Call 555-1212. Examples of these direct commands are displayed on most of the screens while a voice session is active. If Phoneor Phone Commands,is stated, the system understands that a phone call is requested and will respond with questions until enough details are gathered.
If the phone number has been saved with a name and a place, the direct command should include both, for example Call Dave Smith at work.
Using Voice Recognition for List Options
When a list is displayed, a voice prompt will ask to confirm or select an option from that list. A selection can be made by manually selecting the item, or by speaking the line number for the item to select.
When a screen contains a list, there may be options that are available but not displayed. The list on a voice recognition screen functions the same as a list on other screens. Scrolling or flinging can be used to help display other entries from the list.

media. The system may limit the options of voice recognition by not allowing selection of song titles by voice at the highest level if the number of songs exceeds the maximum limit.
Voice command option changes through media content limits are:
.
Song files including other individual files of all media types such as audiobook chapters, podcast episodes, and videos.
.
Album type folders including types such as albums and audiobooks.
There are no restrictions if the number of song files and albums is less than 4,000. When the number of song files connected to the system is between 4,000 and 8,000, the content cannot be accessed directly with one command like Play <song name>.
The restriction is that the command Play Songmust be spoken first; the system will then ask for the song name. The reply command would be to say the name of the song to play.
Similar limits exist for album content. If there are more than 4,000 albums, but less than 8,000, the content cannot be accessed directly with one command like, Play <album name>. The command Play Albummust first be spoken; the system will then ask for the album name. The reply would be to say the name of the album to play.
Once the number of songs has exceeded approximately 8,000, there is no support for accessing the songs directly through voice commands. There will still be access to the media content by using commands for playlists, artists, and genres.
The access commands for playlists, artists, and genres are prohibited after the number of this type of media exceeds 4,000.
The system will provide feedback the first time voice recognition is initiated if it has become apparent that any of these limits are reached during a device initializing process.
