OnStar Hands-Free Calling
How to dial a number using Digit Dial
1. Press the phone button. When OnStar responds with
“OnStar ready,”
say “Digit dial.”
2. When OnStar responds with
“First digit to dial, please,”
say the
first digit of the number to be dialed and wait for it to be repeated
back to you.
3.Continue one digit at a time until all digits are entered.
4. When finished, say “Dial.” OnStar responds with
“Dialing”
and
your call is placed.
If you have problems storing a number using the continuous number
method, you can store numbers one digit at a time using Digit Store.
Simply follow the instructions above for Digit Dial, except say “Digit
store” in Step 1 and ”Store number” in Step 4.
Tips to help you with individual Digit Dialing
When entering numbers using Digit Dial, Digit Store, or Security,
remember:
• If you get the error message “Slower, please,” you may have
spoken too quickly. The system needs time to change from talk
mode to listen mode. Try pausing briefly before speaking after the
system prompts you.
• The system will only recognize one digit at a time. If the system
doesn’t understand what you say, it will respond with the error
message “Pardon?” Simply try again, speaking in a deeper tone
or more clearly.
• If the system repeats an incorrect digit, say “Clear.” After the system
indicates the digit has been cleared, say the digit again.
