Voice-Activated Dialing

In addition to PCS Voice Command

SM

(see page 95), you can use a

voice tag that you set in your phone’s memory to automatically dial
an existing phone number in your Contacts list.

To use voice-activated dialing, you must first assign a voice tag
to the number you wish to call.

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 your ear.

When using voice-activated dialing, keep the following in mind:

䊳

Voice tags are not language-dependent. They are dependent
on the speaker's voice.

䊳

You must say the name exactly as you said it when you
recorded it.

䊳

Voice tags are sensitive to background noise. Record voice
tags and use them in a quiet environment.

䊳

Very short names are not accepted. Use longer names and
avoid using similar names for different numbers.

Note:

You must say the voice tag exactly as you recorded it. This may be

difficult in, for example, a noisy environment or during an emergency. You
should not rely solely upon voice dialing in all circumstances.

Assigning a Voice Tag to a Phone Number

1. Press

to display your Contacts list.

Note:

Be sure to record your voice tag in a quiet environment and without

the aid of accessories (hands-free device) to avoid capturing unwanted
sounds. Unwanted sounds may cause your phone not to recognize your
voice tag when you attempt to use voice dialing.

Making a Call Using a Voice Tag

To make a call using a voice tag:

1. Press and hold Contacts for 2 seconds. (“Please speak now”

and the voice tag indicator

are displayed on your screen,

followed by a short tone.)

2. Speak the voice tag into your phone’s microphone as you

originally assigned it. (When your phone recognizes the tag,
it replays it and automatically dials the number.)

Note:

Always attempt to use voice dialing in a quiet environment. Your

phone may not recognize your voice tag if background noise is too loud.

Warning:

Never attempt to use voice-activated dialing to place

emergency (911) calls. During an emergency, the tone of your voice may
be affected and unrecognizable by your phone.

1. Press Contacts, scroll to Voice tags, and press Select.

2. Scroll to an existing entry and press Options.

3. Scroll to Change and press Select.

4. Press Start and speak into the microphone.

Note:

When you are finished speaking your voice tag, do not press Quit or

your message will be erased.
