• VOICE DIALING
You can dial up to 25 of your phone book’s stored numbers using the voice dialing feature.
Before you can place a call using voice dialing, you must first assign a voice tag to the number.
Before using voice dialing, note that:
• Voice tags are not language dependent. They are dependent on the speaker's voice.
• Voice tags are sensitive to background noise. Record them and make calls in a quiet
environment.
• When recording a voice tag or making a call by saying a voice tag, hold the phone in the
normal position near to your ear.
• Very short names are not accepted. Use long names and avoid similar names for
different numbers.
Important: You must say the name exactly as you said it when you recorded it.
This may be difficult in, for example, a noisy environment or during an emergency,
so you should not rely solely upon voice dialing in all circumstances.
Assign a voice tag to a phone number
You must record a voice tag (up to two seconds) for a phone number before you can use the
voice dialing feature to dial it.
ADD A VOICE TAG TO A PHONE BOOK ENTRY
1 At the Start screen, press the scroll up or the scroll up keys. Scroll to the desired phone book
entry, and press Details.
2 Scroll to the phone number you want to tag and press Options.
3 Scroll to Add voice tag and press Select. (The phone displays Press Start, then speak after
the tone).
4 Press Start and after the tone, speak the voice tag clearly into the phone’s microphone.
Note: Your phone informs you if recording is not successful. Press OK to try again or Back
to return to phone book.
The message Voice tag saved is displayed upon completion of the recording process. The icon
next to a phone number denotes that a voice tag exists for this number.
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT VOICE TAGS
• The recording process stops automatically; pressing Quit aborts the recording attempt.
• Voice tags are sensitive to background noise. Record tags or use voice dialing in a quiet
environment.
• Unique tags are recognized more accurately. Consider using first and last name or first
name, last name, and number type (for example, mobile, home, work, etc.) when tagging
a number. For example, John Smith, work.
• Avoid pauses or silence as you record the voice tag.
• If the voice tag memory is full, the phone displays Delete an existing voice tag? Press OK,
scroll to locate a tag to delete, then press Delete.
