Digital audio broadcastingDigital audio broadcasting (DAB) isan innovative and universalbroadcast system.

DAB stations are indicated by theprogramme name instead of thebroadcasting frequency.General information■ With DAB, several radio

programmes (services) can bebroadcast on a single frequency(ensemble).

■ As long as a given DAB receivercan pick up the signal sent out by abroadcasting station (even if thesignal is very weak), soundreproduction is ensured.

■ There is no fading (weakening ofthe sound) that is typical of AM orFM reception. The DAB signal isreproduced at a constant volume.

■ If the DAB signal is too weak to bepicked up by the receiver, receptionis interrupted completely. This canbe avoided by activating DAB AFand/or DAB FM in the audiosettings menu.

■ Interference caused by stationsthat are on nearby frequencies (aphenomenon that is typical of AMand FM reception) does not occurwith DAB.

Radio 21

■ If the DAB signal is reflected bynatural obstacles or buildings, thereception quality of DAB isimproved, whereas AM or FMreception is considerably impairedin such cases.

■ The reception of DAB+ stations isalso supported by the DABreceiver.

■ When DAB reception is enabled,the FM tuner of the Infotainmentsystem remains active in thebackground and continuallysearches for the best receivable FMstations. If TP 3 17 is activated,traffic announcements of the FMstation which is currently bestreceivable are issued. DeactivateTP, if DAB reception should not beinterrupted by FM trafficannouncements.

Voice recognition

Voice recognition ......................... 45

Voice recognitionThe speech recognition systemenables you to operate some of themobile telephone’s functions by voiceinput. It recognises commands andsequences of numbers independentlyof the person speaking. Thecommands and sequences ofnumbers can be spoken without abreak between the individual words.You can also save telephonenumbers using a name randomlychosen (voice tag). The telephoneconnection can be created using thisname.If the speech recognition system failsto operate properly or fails torecognise your voice, it provides youwith acoustic messages and asks youto input the command you want again.The speech recognition system alsoprovides an answer to importantcommands and, if required, makesenquiries.Stop the voice dialogue at any time byre-pressing q.

Before you dial a telephone number,the following preconditions mustexist:■ The mobile telephone must be

ready for operation and slotted intothe telephone-specific adapter, or aBluetooth™ connection must exist.

■ The mobile telephone must belogged in.

To prevent conversations being heldin the interior of the vehicle fromcausing inadvertent control of themobile telephone or audio system,the speech recognition system onlystarts once it has been activated.

Activating the speechrecognition systemBy pressing q, the speechrecognition system is activated andthe symbol q appears on the display.The radio is switched to "silent" for theduration of the dialogue. Any trafficnews coming in will be interrupted.The functions can only then beoperated if the mobile telephone islogged into a network.

46 Voice recognition

Ending the dialogueThere are various ways to deactivatethe speech recognition system andend the dialogue:■ By pressing q■ Time-outs: if nothing has been

input for a certain period of timeThe speech recognition system isalso interrupted by an incoming call.

OperationWith the aid of the speech recognitionsystem, the mobile telephone can beoperated very comfortably using thevoice input function. Simply activatethe speech recognition system andsay the desired command. Once thecommand has been input, you will beled through the dialogue with thecorresponding questions andmessages in order to reach therequired action.Say the commands and digits in anormal voice, without any artificialpauses between the numbers.Recognition is most successful whenyou pause for at least half a secondafter every three to five numbers.

The Infotainment systemsimultaneously reacts to commandswith voice messages and displays.

SIM cardIf no SIM card has been inserted, thefollowing message appears: Pleaseinsert a SIM card!Once you have inserted a SIM card,you will be asked to enter the PINcode. For more on this, see the nextsection.

PIN codeIf the PIN code has not been entered,the following message appears:Please enter the PIN code!.Now say the PIN code in a normalvoice, without any artificial pausesbetween the numbers.The following commands areavailable:■ "Accept": The PIN code is

confirmed.■ "Change": The number last entered

is deleted.

■ "Delete": The PIN code is deleted.■ "Additional digits": Additional

numbers can be entered.Example of a dialogue whereby a PINcode is entered:Voice output: "Please enter the PINcode!"User: "One Two Three Four – Accept"Voice output: "The PIN code isincorrect!"User: "Four Three Two One – Accept"Voice output: "The PIN code hasbeen accepted"

Main commandsAfter the speech recognition systemhas been activated, you will hear ashort sound, which is a signal toinform you that the speechrecognition system is waiting for aninput.The following commands areavailable:■ "Call"■ "Redial"■ "Save"

Voice recognition 47

■ "Delete"■ "Phonebook"■ "Help"■ "Cancel"Detailed description of thesecommands see below.

"Call"Using this command, you can input atelephone number which has beensaved in the phone book under aname (voice tag) or which is to beused to create a connection. After thiscommand, the following commandsare available:■ "Number": The connection is

created using the number entered.■ "Name": The connection is created

using the voice tag."Number"After this command has been given,you will be asked to enter the number.The Infotainment system repeats therecognised numbers. You can theninput additional numbers or thefollowing commands:

■ "Call" or "Accept": The inputs areaccepted.

■ "Change": The last block ofnumbers has been deleted.

■ "Delete": The complete input hasbeen deleted.

■ "Help": The dialogue is ended andall commands available in thiscontext are listed.

■ "Plus": A plus is placed before thenumber for foreign calls.

■ "Additional digits": Additional digitsare being added.

■ "Cancel:" Ending the diallingprocess. After the request for acorrection, all blocks of numberspreviously entered are repeatedwith the exception of the last block.If all inputs have been deleted, youare once again asked to input atelephone number.

If there is a voice pause of more thanone second between the individualnumbers, the Infotainment systemassumes that the process of inputtingthe block of numbers has ended andrepeats the block of numbers.

In order to make a foreign call, youcan say the word "Plus" (+) in front ofthe number. The plus allows you tomake a call from that country withoutknowing the foreign dialling code forthe country in question. Then say thecountry code.The country code corresponds to theconventional format, i. e. 49 forGermany, 44 for Great Britain, etc.The "0" must be left out of the localnetwork code (dialling code) except inItaly.Example of a dialogue between theuser and voice output to dial atelephone number:User: "Call"Voice output: "Name or Number?"User: "Number"Voice output: "The number, please!"User: "Plus Four Nine"Voice output repeats: "Plus FourNine"User: "Seven Three One"Voice output repeats: "Seven ThreeOne"

48 Voice recognition

User: "One One Nine Nine"Voice output repeats: "One One NineNine"User: "Change"Voice output repeats the blocks ofnumbers previously input: "Plus FourNine – Seven Three One"User: "One One Nine One"Voice output repeats: "One One NineOne"User: "Call"Voice output: "The number is beingdialled""Name"Using this command, you can selecta telephone number under a name(voice tag).If the system recognises a name entryalready available, it is shown on thedisplay. The symbol q representinga voice tag appears to the right of thename. The connection is createdusing the voice tag.

"Redial"Using the "Redial" command, thenumber most recently dialled can beredialled.

"Save"Using this command, you can save atelephone number under a voice tag.Additionally the previously input voicetag in the phone book can beincluded.Voice tags can only be included in thephone book if they are saved in theInfotainment system.A maximum of 25 voice tags can bestored in the phone book. If 25 voicetags are already stored, the messageis given "The speech memory is full!".Voice tags are dependent on thespeaker, which means that only theperson who has spoken in the voicetag can select it.After three invalid attempts, thespeech recognition system is turnedoff automatically.

It can happen that the two namesinput are too different for the speechrecognition system, which thenrejects them. You can then decide ifyou want to input the names again orend the process:■ "Yes": Input the names again.■ "No"/"Cancel": The dialogue is

ended without anything beingsaved.

In order to prevent a cut-off at thebeginning of the recording whennames are being saved, a shortpause should be left after the requestfor an input.In order to be able to use the voice tagindependently of the location, i.e. inother countries, all telephonenumbers should be entered with a"Plus" and the country code.Example of a name being saved as avoice tag:User: "Call"Voice output: "Name or Number?"User: "Name"Voice output: "The name, please! "
