Tips for using Voice Dial:

•Voice Dial works best in quieter environments.

•When saying a number, speak at a normal speed and say each digit clearly. There is no need to pause between digits.

•The phone recognizes the digits one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, zero, and oh. The phone does not recognize numbers such as "one eight hundred" for "1-800." Instead, say "one-eight-zero-zero."

•The phone recognizes only valid 7, 10, or 11 digit North American phone numbers.

To place a call using Voice Dial:

1.Activate voice recognition by pressing and holding . (The phone prompts you for a command.)

2.Say Call. (The phone prompts you to say the number or Contact name.)

3.Say either a name stored in your Contacts or a valid 7, 10, or 11 digit North American phone number naturally and clearly.

4.If the phone asks you, "Did You Say", followed by the correct number, say Yes. (You can also select the correct number from those displayed

on the screen by pressing MENUOK on the correct number. The phone will then dial the number.)

5.If the phone asks you, "Did You Say", followed by an incorrect number, say No. (If there are other alternatives, the phone will prompt you with the next one.)

6.Alternatively, you can call a person in your Contacts by saying their full name exactly as it is entered in your Contacts. (The phone plays the name through the earpiece and displays it on the screen.)

•If you said a name listed in your Contacts that has more than one number associated with it, the phone displays the different locations (Home, Work, Mobile, Pager, Fax, and Others) and asks you which one to dial. Say one of the location names and the phone will dial the number for the specified location.

Note: In some cases, the phone might ask you to repeat a name or number. Make sure that the number is a valid 7, 10, or 11 digit North American phone number, and then say the number again. If the number isn't valid, or if the phone still doesn't understand the number on the second try, it will not place a call.
