INSTALLATION OF RADIO TRANSMITTING EQUIPMENT
Special design considerations are incorporated into this vehicle’s electronic system to provide immunity to radio frequency signals. Mobile two-way radios and telephone equipment must be installed properly by trained person- nel. The following must be observed during installation.
The antenna cable should be as short as practical and routed away from the vehicle wiring when possible. Use only fully shielded coaxial cable.
Carefully match the antenna and cable to the radio to ensure a low Standing Wave Ratio (SWR).
INSTALLATION OF RADIO TRANSMITTING EQUIPMENT
Special design considerations are incorporated into this vehicle’s electronic system to provide immunity to radio frequency signals. Mobile two-way radios and telephone equipment must be installed properly by trained person- nel. The following must be observed during installation.
The positive power connection should be made directly to the battery and fused as close to the battery as possible. The negative power connection should be made to body sheet metal adjacent to the negative battery connection. This connection should not be fused.
Antennas for two-way radios should be mounted on the roof or the rear area of the vehicle. Care should be used in mounting antennas with magnet bases. Magnets may affect the accuracy or operation of the compass on vehicles so equipped.
The antenna cable should be as short as practical and routed away from the vehicle wiring when possible. Use only fully shielded coaxial cable.
Carefully match the antenna and cable to the radio to ensure a low Standing Wave Ratio (SWR).
Mobile radio equipment with output power greater than normal may require special precautions.
All installations should be checked for possible interfer- ence between the communications equipment and the vehicle’s electronic systems.

OVERVIEW
FIAT’s Windows Mobile™ based BLUE&ME™ Hands­Free Communication is a personal telematics system that incorporates communication and entertainment applica­tions that are expressly designed for use in your car.
The BLUE&ME™ Hands-Free Communication package installed in your car is equipped with integral hands-free kit, message reader, and media player. BLUE&ME™ is designed to support the future installation of additional services.

to recognize your voice. The system is “speaker indepen­dent” and performs equally well for different users.
With this system, you can also play your favorite music stored on a USB stick or iPod威 and select tracks and playback modes with both voice commands or buttons on the steering wheel.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.

The BLUE&ME™ Hands-Free Communication package features integrated voice recognition, steering wheel con­trols and a multifunction electronic display that allows you to use your Bluetooth威 wireless technology enabled mobile phone without having to take your eyes off the road. You can even keep your phone in a pocket or a bag. You are not required to train the voice recognition system
2. This device must accept all interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation
The BLUE&ME™ Hands-Free Communication Package
The basic characteristic of this hands-free package is voice recognition with Bluetooth威 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 any driving condition, without having to take your eyes off the road or removing your hands from the steering wheel, as required by current legal regulations.
Bluetooth威 wireless technology enables wireless connec- tion between your mobile phone and the hands-free package installed on your car.
To use the hands-free package, you need a Bluetooth威 wireless technology enabled mobile phone. This hands­free package 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 BLUE&ME™ SUPPORTED MO­BILE PHONES.
To get started with BLUE&ME™ Hands-Free Communi­cation with voice recognition, you have to simply pair your Bluetooth威 wireless technology enabled mobile phone with the system.
Pairing is an operation that has to be performed only once.
NOTE:
•
During the mobile phone pairing procedure, BLUE&ME™ attempts to detect a phone equipped with Bluetooth威 wireless technology within range and then establishes the connection using a Personal Iden­tification Number (PIN).
Page 9
•
Once your phone is paired, you have the option to transfer your mobile phone contacts to the hands-free package, to make a phone call either by using the contacts list or directly pronouncing the phone num­ber, to answer a call, and also answer a second incoming phone call.
•
To interact with BLUE&ME™ you can use either buttons on the steering wheel or voice commands. With voice recognition, you can perform system func­tions 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 you are travelling, you can interact with BLUE&ME™ using buttons on the steering wheel or voice commands relevant only to
BLUE&ME™ User’s Manual 7
phone functions (LAST CALLS and PHONEBOOK) and the media player. To activate settings when travelling you can only use voice commands.
The hands-free package 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 hands-free package phonebook).
•
Digit dialing by voice – you can dial a phone number by pressing the Windows icon button (VR button) on the steering wheel and speaking the digits to be dialed.
•
To call a SMS text sender – call the last SMS text sender directly or the sender of an SMS message received and stored in the BLUE&ME™ inbox.

•
To answer a call – you can answer an incoming call by pressing the MAIN/Phone button on the steering wheel.
•
Conference call – you can call another contact while you are engaged in a phone conversation (Conference Calling is only supported by a compatible mobile phone).
•
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 compatible mo­bile phone.)
•
Refusing an incoming call or ending a call – you can refuse an incoming call or end a current call by pressing the Phone Hang-up button on the steering wheel.
With your mobile phone in the vehicle and the pairing procedure complete, connect to your mobile phone to BLUE&ME™ and 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’s speakers.
Message Reader
The BLUE&ME™ message reader enables automatic reading, through the car sound system, of the SMS texts you receive on your Bluetooth威 wireless technology enabled mobile phone that are received when the phone is paired and connected to BLUE&ME™ system. The message reader does not provide access to messages that were received before you entered the car and connected with the BLUE&ME™ system. Only a subset of abbre­viations and emoticons are supported by the BLUE&ME™ system.
Page 11
NOTE: Not all mobile phones support the SMS text message reader function or automatic phonebook trans­fer via Bluetooth威. Consult www.fiatusa.com for further information on the list of compatible mobile phones.
Message reader functions are managed by the control buttons on the steering wheel or by the BLUE&ME™ voice commands.
The BLUE&ME™ message reader enables the following operations:
•
To display on the instrument panel multifunction display a visual notification signal indicating that you have received a new SMS text on your Bluetooth威 wireless technology enabled mobile phone, with send­er’s number/name; BLUE&ME™ will also ask whether to read you the message that has been re­ceived.
BLUE&ME™ User’s Manual 9
•
To manage the list of SMS texts received on your
BLUE&ME™ paired mobile phone.

To read the messages received and stored. Messages can be read multiple times.
•
To call the SMS text sender using the buttons on the steering wheel or voice commands.

The BLUE&ME™ system can also recognize and read abbreviations, if any (e.g., “ILUVU” will be read “I love you”) and can interpret most common emoticons (e.g., :-) will be read “Smile”), used today to write SMS texts.
Media Player
With the BLUE&ME™ media player you can play, via the car sound system, digital audio files stored on a USB stick or iPod威 by simply connecting it to the USB port located in the glove box of the car.
With this feature, you can play your favorite personal music collections while you drive.
•
iPod威 player - refer to MEDIA PLAYER FUNCTIONS.
The media player feature allows the following opera­tions:
•
Digital audio playback - you can play all your digital audio files (.mp3,.wma,.wav,.aac) 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.
NOTE: Each audio file category must be tagged before connecting to the BLUE&ME™ system. If no category is tagged, the BLUE&ME™ system will index the song by the song title.
•
Playback options - while playing tracks you can select the following options: Play, Stop, Next track, Previous track, Shuffle and Repeat.
NOTE:
•
The media player does not support audio files com­pressed with other formats and DRM (Digital Right Management) protected audio files. Non-supported audio files that may be present on the USB device will be ignored.
Page 13
•
To use the media player, you have to simply connect (directly or by an extension lead) your USB stick or iPod威 to the car USB port. When the ignition key is turned to ON, 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 desired using the buttons on the steering wheel or voice commands. BLUE&ME™ will then play your selec­tion via the car sound system.

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 functions are disabled by the BLUE&ME™ system until driving conditions are secure and, if required, only when the car is stopped.
•
Read and Follow Instructions: before using your system, read and follow all instructions and safety information provided in this end user manual (“User’s Manual”). Failing to follow precautions found in this User’s Manual can lead to an acci­dent or other serious consequences.

WARNING! (Continued)
•
Keep User ’s Manual in the car: when kept in the car, the User’s Manual 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 Manual and read its instructions and safety information carefully.
•
Do not change system settings or enter data non­verbally (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.
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
General Operation
•
Voice Command Control: some functions within the system may be accomplished using only voice commands. Using voice commands while driving 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.
(Continued)
Page 15
WARNING! (Continued)
•
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: many features may require manual (non-verbal) setup. Attempting to perform such set-up or entering 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.

HOW TO USE BLUE&ME™ HANDS-FREE COMMUNICATION
Steering Wheel Controls
Buttons on the steering wheel are used to perform functions on the hands-free communication package, activating voice recognition, using the media player functions, or selecting a BLUE&ME™ menu option.
Voice Commands
Voice commands can be said by the driver, who 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”.
Certain buttons have multiple functions which depend on the current state of the system.
The function chosen in response to a key press is in some cases controlled by the duration of the key press (short or long).
NOTE:
•
For further information refer to DISPLAY AND BUT­TONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL.

The hands-free communication system recognizes and responds to a preset list of voice commands. The list of available voice commands depends on the keyword menu level that you are currently on. The current list is always available by pressing the
steering wheel
button and saying “Help” or, saying “Help” when
BLUE&ME™ is waiting for a voice command. BLUE&ME™ also recognizes personalized versions of
voice commands, like the name of a contact in your phonebook.
Page 27
There is no voice training required for using voice commands with this system.
To issue a voice command to the system, press the steering wheel button and wait for the radio to mute,
then listen for “Say a command” and then a 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: 1st level, 2nd level and 3rd level.
When a valid* 1st level keyword is said, the system will activate 2nd level keywords; when a valid 2nd level keyword is said, the system will activate 3rd level keywords.
BLUE&ME™ User’s Manual 25
If the user says a valid 1st level keyword, then the submenu relevant to that command will remain active until a keyword leading to another level is given, the interaction is interrupted or the system times out because no command has been given; the same rule applies for the other lower levels (2nd and 3rd level).
NOTE: For the list of available keywords, refer to VOICE COMMANDS (KEYWORDS) - SUMMARY.
* Valid means that the keyword said is included in the BLUE&ME™ “dictionary” and can therefore be recog­nized by the system for the concerned level.
To repeat the last system voice announcement, press the
steering wheel button and say “Repeat” or hold
the
steering wheel down for longer than 1 second.
The system can issue voice announcements. A voice announcement is a spoken message initiated by the system. To cancel a voice announcement, press the

steering wheel button, wait for the beep and say
“Cancel”.
A voice interaction is a two-way communication/spoken exchange between system and user. To initiate a voice interaction, press the
steering wheel button and
issue a command. To interrupt a voice announcement from BLUE&ME™ and say your reply before listening to the entire voice announcement, press the

ton. You will hear a tone indicating when voice recogni­tion is deactivated.
The hands-free communication Help option can speak the list of commands available to you at any time, depending on the keyword level that you are currently on. To use the 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™ , refer to EXTERNAL AUDIO VOL function in the Owner’s Manual on the DVD. To temporarily adjust the volume of the current phone call, press + or – or adjust the position of the radio knob. After the phone call is disconnected, the volume will revert back to the original level.
You can press Vol + or Vo l – buttons on the rear of the steering wheel also to adjust the volume of the current BLUE&ME™ voice announcement.
Please remember that to interrupt a voice announcement, you can always press the
steering wheel button at
any time during a voice interaction and give a new voice command.
Page 29
NOTE:
•
After you press the steering wheel button, if you do not issue a voice command within a few seconds,
the system will prompt you to say a voice command. If you do not respond after two or three prompts to enter a command, the voice recognition session will end. 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 say the voice command again. If you are unsure of whether the voice command is appropriate for the given con­text, say “Help”.

After pressing the steering wheel button, say the voice command after the system says “Say a Com-
mand” and plays a tone indicating that voice recogni­tion is active.
•
After the system asks a question, begin saying your command.
•

and Scan Down buttons on the rear of the steering wheel to select PHONEBOOK and then press PRESET UP/OK button on the rear of the steering wheel.
To select the alphabetical grouping which your contact’s name belongs to, press the PRESET UP/OK on the rear of the steering wheel, then select the required contact.
BLUE&ME™ User’s Manual 33
If the contact has just one phone number, press the
PRESET/OK button or the
/MAIN on the steering
wheel to start the call.
If the contact has multiple phone numbers, use the scan up and scan down buttons on the rear of the steering wheel to view the different phone numbers and then select the required one by pressing the PRESET UP/OK button or the

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 Smith, in this example) on the display screen.
If John Smith has just one phone number, the system will ask if you would like to call John Smith. To start the call say “Yes” , otherwise say “No”.
If John Smith has several phone numbers, the system will ask which phone number you would like to call (e.g., “Call John Smith(at) Work or (at) Home?”). Answer with the type of required phone number (e.g., “(at) Home” ).
If John Smith has several phone numbers but the “loca­tion” (i.e.: the type of phone number like work, home, etc.) is missing, the system will display the selected contact and a list of related phone numbers.

“Delete”. The system will delete the last group of num­bers and display the partially dialed phone number. Then, you can say the digit group again and also the remaining phone number digits.
To cancel the phone call, say “Cancel”.
To cancel the phone call and start dialing again, say “Start over”.
To ask the system to repeat the recognized phone num­ber, say “Repeat”. If no phone number was dialed, the system says “No number available”.
If the repeated phone number is correct, say “Dial” to start the call.

Pairing a Mobile Phone
Before you can use your mobile phone with the hands­free communication function on your car, you must create a pairing relationship between the mobile phone and the hands-free communication system.
During the pairing procedure, the hands-free communi­cation system attempts to detect a Bluetooth威 wireless technology enabled mobile phone within range, and then establishes the connection using a Personal Identification Number (PIN). After a pairing relationship is established, you can use the hands-free communication system to make and receive phone calls, and do other operations via your wirelessly-connected mobile phone.
BLUE&ME™ User’s Manual 57
NOTE: Some mobile phones may require a setting change or access permission change in order for BLUE&ME™ to automatically reconnect. See your mo­bile phones manual for more information.
IMPORTANT! The mobile phone pairing PIN number is a special PIN generated randomly at each new pairing and used just for this operation. It is not your SIM PIN and therefore it is not required to store or to keep it in mind; losing it will not impair the hands-free communi­cation system operation.
The pairing procedure will only need to be performed once for your mobile phone. After this procedure BLUE&ME™ will automatically connect to your phone each time you get into the car and turn the ignition key to ON.
You can create a pairing relationship using the PAIRING option in the SETTINGS menu.

BLUE&ME™ will show the mobile phone pairing PIN on the instrument panel display and announces it. Please note that this is a PIN used just for this operation; it is not your SIM PIN.
For the next two steps, consult your mobile phone owner’s manual about Bluetooth威 pairing.
On your mobile phone, query for Bluetooth威 wireless technology enabled mobile phones that are within range (this option on your mobile phone might be called Discover, New Device, etc.). View the list of Bluetooth威
wireless technology enabled mobile phones and select BLUE&ME™ (item that identifies BLUE&ME™ on your car).
When prompted by the mobile phone, enter the PIN number shown on the instrument panel display. If pair­ing is successful, the system will say “Connecting” and then the display will show the paired mobile phone ID.
It is of vital importance to wait until this confirmation message is displayed, since pressing the
/MAIN
button or the /ESC button will cancel the pairing process. If pairing fails, an error message will be dis-
played and the pairing procedure needs to be repeated.
After pairing, the system will say “Welcome” immedi- ately after connecting. This message will no longer be heard the next time the phone connects to the system.
The system will ask if you would like to copy your paired phone’s phonebook. It is recommended to copy it. To

The system will ask if you would like to copy your phone’s phonebook. Copying is recommended. To start copying the phonebook, say “Yes”; otherwise say “No”.
For certain mobile phones the phonebook is not copied automatically, in this case you must send the contacts in your mobile phone’s phonebook to the BLUE&ME™ hands-free communication system using your mobile phone keypad.
Practical hints
To improve both the voice recognition of your phone­book entries and BLUE&ME™ pronunciation accuracy when repeating the entries, please try to enter contact entries and memorize them using the following criteria:
•
Avoid abbreviations.
•
Write foreign names according to the way in which they are pronounced according to the rules of the BLUE&ME™ language set on your car. For example,
enter “Tanja” as “Tanya”, to improve recognition ac­curacy and also to obtain the correct pronunciation by the system.
•
When adding or editing contact entries, insert the appropriate accent marks when the name requires these marks to be properly pronounced and recog­nized by the system. For example enter “Nicolo Re­bora” as “Nicolò Rébora” to obtain the correct pronun­ciation.
•
When adding or editing contact entries, bear in mind that certain capital letters may be read as Roman numerals (e.g., V may be read as fifth).
•
When calling contacts by voice, do not include the middle names or middle initials of your contacts.
Page 63
NOTE:
•
You only need to pair your mobile phone a single time.
•
You can pair up to five mobile phones, but only one phone can be used at a time. To use one of the other paired phones, the currently connected phone needs to be powered off or it’s Bluetooth威 setting must be turned off. BLUE&ME™ will then search the paired phone list looking for a phone to connect to.
•
On your paired mobile phone, the Bluetooth威 setting must be turned on in order to connect your mobile phone with BLUE&ME™ Hands-Free Communica­tion.
•
Before transferring your mobile phone contacts to the hands-free communication system, make sure that each contacts first and last name is unique and dis­tinctly recognizable to improve the voice recognition results.
BLUE&ME™ User’s Manual 61
•
Depending on the size of your phonebook, BLUE&ME™ may take some time to download or check for updates. So, if you try to immediately make a phone call after getting into the vehicle, the BLUE&ME™ system may tell you to wait.
•
The system will download only valid contact entries. A valid contact entry must include both a name and at least one phone number.
•
If you would like to re-pair your mobile phone, delete the old pairing relationship first. During this operation all paired phones and their associated phonebook information will be deleted. To delete a paired phone from the system, from the USER DATA menu, select
DELETE USERS. On your mobile phone, delete BLUE&ME™ from the list of Bluetooth威 mobile
phones following the specific instructions for your mobile phone (refer to your mobile phone owner’s manual).
