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:
ᮣ Voice tags are not language-dependent. They are dependent
on the speaker's voice.
ᮣ You must say the name exactly as you said it when you
recorded it.
ᮣ Voice tags are sensitive to background noise. Record voice
tags and use them in a quiet environment.
ᮣ 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.
