Activating Voice Recognition
Voice recognition allows you to say commands to perform 
common functions supported by your phone. There is no voice 
training required to use the voice recognition feature. You 
simply say the pre-designated command displayed on your 
screen in a normal tone of voice to perform the desired 
function.
To activate voice recognition:
1.Press the navigation key left.
2.The phone prompts you to say a voice command. Wait for 
the beep and then say one of the following commands:
Digit Dial
Name Dial
Voice Memo
Phonebook
Browser
Play Games
When it recognizes one of these commands, the phone 
launches the associated application. If the phone does not hear 
a command within approximately eight seconds, it de-activates 
voice recognition without taking any action.
Note: If you want to use a different button to activate voice recognition, 
press    for Launch Pad. On this menu, you can change button assignments, including the button used to launch Voice Dial, which is the voice recognition application.
Digit Dial
Digit Dial allows you dial any valid 7 or 10 digit North American 
phone number by speaking the number naturally, without 
pausing between the digits. 
Tips for using Digit Dial:

Digit 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.  
						

							Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone
2I: Using Your Phone’s Voice Services 91

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 or 10 digit North 
American phone numbers.

If your phone does not usually recognize you correctly 
when you are using Digit Dial, try adapting Digit Dial to 
your voice, which can significantly improve accuracy for 
some speakers. See the section Adapting Digit Dial for 
details. 
To place a call using Digit Dial:
1.Activate voice recognition by pressing the navigation key 
left. The phone prompts you for a command.
2.Say Digit Dial. The phone prompts you to say the number.
3.Say a valid 7 or 10 digit North American phone number 
naturally and clearly. 
Note: If desired, you can say the number 1 before the number. This is not required, the call is made both ways.
4.If the phone asks you, Did You Say, followed by the 
correct number, say Ye s. You can also select the correct 
number from those displayed on the screen by pressing 
 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. You can 
also press the navigation key up or down to select the 
correct number from the Choice List, and then press 
 to 
dial.
Note: In some cases, the phone might ask you to repeat a number. Make 
sure that the number is a valid 7 or 10 digit North American phone number, 
and then say the number again. If the number isnt valid, or if the phone still 
doesnt understand the number on the second try, it will not place a call.

Enabling/Disabling Digit Dial Choice Lists
You can customize whether the Digit Dial feature displays the 
list of top voice recognition choices or automatically dials the 
first number, without displaying a choice list. 
To enable or disable choice lists for Digit Dial:
1.Press   for Settings.
2.Press  for Voice Dial.
3.Press  for Choice List.
4.Press  for Digit Dial.
5.Press the navigation key up or down to select Ye s or No 
and press 
.
Adapting Digit Dial
Digit Dialing is speaker independent, which means that no 
training or adaptation is required. Some users with heavy 
accents or unusual voice characteristics may find difficulty in 
achieving high accuracy with speaker independent digit 
dialing, so the Adapt Digits feature allows users to dramatically 
improve the digit accuracy through adaptation. Users who get 
acceptable digit recognition accuracy will find no additional 
benefit to performing the Adapt Digit adaptation.
After you adapt Digit Dial, your phone will be customized to 
your voice. Other people will not be able to use Digit Dial on 
your phone unless they reset the phone to factory defaults. 
Important: ONLY adapt Digit Dial if the system is frequently misrecognizing 
your speech. You can always restore the system to its original factory 
setting.
Adaptation involves recording several digit sequences to teach 
the system your voice. The adaptation process takes about 3 
minutes.
Tips for adapting Digit Dial:

Adapt digits in a quiet place.

Make sure you wait for the beep before starting to speak.

Speak clearly, but say each digit sequence naturally.
