Mercedes-Benz E-Coupe 2010 COMAND Manual - Manual (Page 200)

Overview
The address book gives you the option of
storing information about people in the form
of entries.
Using voice control, you can dial a phone
number stored in the address book or start
route guidance for a stored address.
Apart from the speaker-dependent voice
names stored in the address book, voice
control can recognize all the entries in the
name fields of the address book. Recognition
of the entries in the address book depends on
the text that was entered. To make a call you
must say the text of the entry.
Check the address book entries for the
following:
R
The name entries, e.g. last name and first
name, are in the right fields.
R
Do not use abbreviations or acronyms.
R
Avoid unnecessary spaces in names.
R
Do not use special characters.
You can improve voice recognition by saving
a speaker-dependent voice name for address
book entries.
Use a speaker-dependent voice name:
R
for names which are difficult to pronounce
R
to distinguish names which sound similar
R
for names which are not pronounced as
they are written
Voice control can store up to 50 of these
address book entries by means of a speaker-
dependent voice name.

“Save Name”
Use the “Save name” command to save a

specific speaker. Use this command for a
name which is complicated or which is

number.

permitted.
“Plus” replaces the international dialing code,
e.g. “00”.

continuous string of digits or as blocks of
