The VOICE-MAIN voice number and name in the MAIN display will be high- lighted. You can now use the dial or other selection controls to select a different voice.

NOTE

If you press and hold the [VOICE] button for longer than a second a voice list will appear. You can then select the main voice from the voice list.

The VOICE-MAIN voice number and name will be highlighted. The currently selected voice is shown.
