How to place a call using a stored name tag
1. Push the
button. When the system responds with
“OnStar ready” and the
talk-tone, say “Call <name tag>” or “Dial <name tag>.”
2. OnStar responds with
“OK, calling <name tag>.” (Making a call uses up minutes.)
How to store the last number you dialed
1. Push the
button. When the system responds with
“OnStar ready” and the
talk-tone, say, “Store last number.”
2. When the system responds with
“Please say the name tag,” choose a name tag
that is easy to remember, like “Mom’s cell phone.”
3. The system repeats the tag and asks
“Yes or no?”
4. Say, “Yes” to confirm, or “No” to start over.
5. To place a call, push the
button and say “Call mom’s cell phone.”
How to answer incoming calls
When a call is received, the radio will automatically mute and a ring-tone will be
heard. Push the
button to answer the call. Some vehicles are equipped with
controls on the steering wheels. Calls can be made or answered using the
button. Call volume can be controlled with the radio volume control. Some vehicles
are equipped with caller ID. The number may be displayed on your driver information
center or radio. If a number is stored the name tag will be played.
How to get your vehicle’s number
1. Push the
button. When the system responds with
“OnStar ready” and the
talk-tone, say, “My number.”
2. OnStar responds with
“Your OnStar Hands-Free Calling number is <number>.”
NOTE:
There is a place on the Hands-Free Calling Quick Reference Card where
the number can be written.
Helpful tips for Hands-Free Calling
• Speak as clearly as possible, and louder as necessary.
• Try speaking in a deeper, lower-pitched voice.
• The system won’t recognize words like “hundred,” “thousand,” or “twenty.” For
example, the number “1.800.555.2030” is pronounced
“one-eight-zero-zero-five-five-five-two-zero-three-zero.”
• Push the
button and ask an Advisor for tips.
• Say, “Dial 911” and the system will dial 911. In an emergency, always use the
button so that the GPS location is received by the OnStar Emergency Advisors.
