Voice dialling
Your device supports enhanced voice commands.
Enhanced voice commands are not dependent on the
speaker’s voice, so the user does not record voice tags in
advance. Instead, the device creates a voice tag for the
entries in contacts, and compares the spoken voice tag to
it. The voice recognition in the device adapts to the main
user’s voice to recognise the voice commands better.
The voice tag for a contact is the name or nickname that is
saved on the contact card. To listen to the synthesised
voice tag, open a contact card, and select Options > Play
voice tag.
Make a call with a voice tag
Note: Using voice tags may be difficult in a noisy
environment or during an emergency, so you should not
rely solely upon voice dialing in all circumstances.
When you use voice dialling, the loudspeaker is in use. Hold
the device at a short distance away when you say the voice
tag.
1 To start voice dialling, press and hold the capture key.
If you are using a compatible headset with the headset
key, press and hold the headset key to start voice
dialling.
2 A short tone is played, an d Speak now is displaye d. Say
clearly the name or nickname that is saved on the
contact card.
3 The device plays a synthesised voice tag for the
recognised contact in the selected device language,
and displays the name and number. After a timeout of
1.5 seconds, the device dials the number.
If the recognised contact was not correct, select Next
to view a list of other matches, or Quit to cancel voice
dialling.
If several numbers are saved under the name, the device
selects the default number, if it has been set. Otherwise
the device selects the first available number of the
following: Mobile, Mobile (home), Mobile (business),
Telephone, Tel. (home), and Tel. (business).
Video calls
When you make a video call, you can see a real-time,
two-way video between you and the recipient of the call.
The live video image, or the selected still image captured
by the camera in your device is shown to the video call
recipient.
To be able to make a video call, you must have a USIM card
and be in the coverage of a UMTS network. For availability
of and subscription to video call services, contact your
network operator or service provider. A video call can only
be made between two parties. The video call can be made
to a compatible mobile phone or an ISDN client. Video
calls cannot be made while there is another voice, video,
or data call active.
Warning! You cannot make emergency calls in the
Imaging mode because the keypad is not active. To make
an emergency call, activate the Fold open mode.
Icons:
You are not receiving video (the recipient is not
sending video or the network is not transmitting it).

send a still image instead, see ‘Call settings’, p. 106.

Fold open mode, enter the
phone number in the

calls are not supported by the network, or the receiving
device is not compatible) you are asked if you want to try
a normal call or send a message instead.
Make calls
The video call is active when you see two video images,

To zoom your own image, move the joystick up and down
to zoom in and zoom out. The zoom indicator is shown on
the top of the display.
To switch the places of the sent video images on the
display, select Change image order.
If you activate the Fold open mode during a video call,
sending your own video image stops because the camera is
not active. You can, however, still see the video of the
recipient.

a video call, the call will still be charged as a video call.
Check the pricing with your network operator or service
provider.

Video sharing
Use Video sharing to send live video or a video clip from
your mobile device to another compatible mobile device
during a voice call. Simply invite a recipient to view the live
video, or a video clip you want to share. Sharing begins
automatically when the recipient accepts the invitation,
and you activate the correct mode. See ‘Share video’, p. 31.

Telecommunications System (UMTS) connection, your
ability to use Video sharing depends on 3G network
availability. Contact your service provider for questions
about network availability and fees associated with using
this application. To use Video sharing you must:
