  • Press TOOLS (the spanner symbol on the bottom right corner of the screen with WHERE TO and VIEW MAP
  • Press SETTINGS (The spanner symbol) or LOCALE on some models (The blue symbol)
  • Press LANGUAGE (the lips symbol)
This will take you to a screen with 3 items: VOICE, TEXT LANGUAGE and KEYBOARD

You can add voices by downloading WEBUPDATER from http://www8.garmin.com/support/collection.jsp?product=999-99999-27
Connect your satnav to your computer and run webupdater. It will search for software updates. Afterwards it will give you the option to download extras including extra voices. When they're downloaded and you have disconnected your satnav from your computer you can select one of the new voices as described above.

How do change the outgoing "Night Mode" message in the Voice Mail System on NEC Electra Elite DTU 32D-1?

If you are using an Active Voice product (typical w/ NEC) you need to change the hours of operation on the voice mail system. "Night Mode" only changes the ringing characteristics of the phone system and where calls ring, not the greetings that play on the voice mail. The voice mail plays a particular greeting (Day/Night/Holiday) based on the time of day specified in the schedule. The system administrator for the voice mail would have to make this change.

How do i change the voice that is heard when the phones are busy?

When the receiver phones are busy, the voice that you are hearing is the 'receiver - service provider recorded voice'. That voice will vary based on the service provider. It is not possible to change the voice. Only service provider can change that.

Is there a way to change the voice on the NVE P1

There is no indication in the user's manual that the voice can be changed. Only the volume of the voice and whether you get a voice annoucement or not, but you can't chage the voice itself.
