33 Voice Service

Call <Name or #>

Call <Name or #> allows you to dial any valid 7, 10 or 11 digit North American phone number by speaking the number naturally, without pausing between the digits. It also allows you to dial by pronouncing a name stored in your Contacts. Tips for using Call <Name or #>:

• Voice Service 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.

• 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, 10 or 11 digit North

American phone numbers.

• If your phone does not usually recognize you correctly when

you are using Voice Service, try adapting Voice Service to your voice, which can significantly improve accuracy for some speakers. (See "Changing Voice Service Sensitivity" on page 38 for details.)

To place a call using Call <Name or #>:

1. Activate voice recognition by pressing and holding . (The phone prompts you for a command.)

2. Say “Call” followed by either a name stored in your Contacts or a valid 7, 10 or 11 digit North American phone number naturally and clearly.

• If the phone asks you, "Did You Say," followed by the correct

number, say Yes . (You can also select the correct number

Voice Service

Voice Service 34

from those displayed on the screen by pressing on the correct number. The phone will then dial the number.)

• 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.)

3. Alternatively, you can call a person in your Contacts by saying the full name of the person you want to call, exactly as it is entered in your Contacts. (The phone plays the name through the earpiece and displays it on the screen.)

• If you said a name listed in your Contacts that has more

than one number associated with it, the phone displays the different locations (Home, Work, Mobile, Pager, Others) and asks you which one to dial. Say one of the location names and the phone will dial the number for the location you specified.

Note: In some cases, the phone might ask you to repeat a name or

number. Make sure that the number is a valid 7, 10 or 11 digit North American phone number, and then say the number again. If the number isn't valid, or if the phone still doesn't understand the number on the second try, it will not place a call.

Send Text <Name>

Adapting Voice Service

Voice Dialing is speaker independent, which means that no initial training or adaptation is required. Some users with heavy accents or unusual voice characteristics may encounter difficulty in achieving high accuracy with speaker independent Voice Dialing. The Adapt Digits feature allows users to dramatically improve the digit accuracy through adaptation. Users who get acceptable digit recognition accuracy will gain no additional benefit performing the Adapt Digit adaptation. After you adapt Voice Service, your phone will be customized to your voice. Other people may not be able to use Voice Service on your phone accurately unless they reset the phone to factory defaults.

: ONLY adapt Voice Service if the system is frequently mis-

Note

recognizing 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 Voice Service:

• Perform the adaptation in a quiet place.

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

• Speak clearly, but say each digit sequence naturally.

• If you make a mistake while recording a sequence of digits, or

if there is an unexpected noise that spoils the recording, you can say or select No when the prompt asks, “Did the recording sound OK?” You will then be prompted to re-record the sequence.

To adapt Voice Service to your voice:

39 Voice Service

1. Press , followed by for Settings.

2. Press for Voice Service.

3. Press for Digit Dialing.

4. Press for Adapt Digits. (The phone displays the first

digit sequence.)

5. When you are ready to start recording, press . (The phone prompts you to say the first sequence of digits.)

6. Wait for the beep, and then repeat the digits using a normal tone of voice. (The phone plays back your recording and asks you if the recording sounds "OK.")

• If the recording sounds OK (no mistakes and no

background noises), say Yes.

• If you need to re-record the digits to fix any problems, say

No. (The phone then prompts you to say the digits again.)

7. After confirming that the recording sounds OK, repeat the recording process with the next set of digits. In total, there are 10 sets of numbers. When you are finished with a full session, you will reach a screen that reads, “Adaptation Complete.”

Note: It is recommended that you perform the complete adaptation of

Voice Service at least once to achieve the maximum benefit of this feature. If a partial adaptation is performed, you can always return later and resume the process from the half way point.

The Wireless Web

Your phone comes equipped with Wireless Web access through your browser. You can view specially designed version of popular sites which includes sports, weather, news, stock quotes etc.. as well as downloadable ringtones, screen savers and games. When you launch the browser, the phone will connect to the Internet and the service indicator icon will display. Any time the service indicator icon is visible on the display, you are connected to the Internet and will be invoiced accordingly.

Note: Rates and pricing vary according to your service plan. Please

contact your service provider for additional information.

Launching the Browser

Note: The first time you use the Browser, you will be prompted to go

through a setup process that takes approximately three minutes.

To launch a web connection:

• Press , followed by for Web. You are connected to

the Mobile Web Home page.

Note: If Web Guard is enabled and displayed (see below), select Yes and

press to continue and launch the Web.

If you had a previous web connection, the last page you visited will be displayed when you launch your browser. When this occurs, you may not see the "Connecting as..." message when you launch the

Navigating the Wireless Web

Navigating through menus and Web sites during a web session is easy once you've learned a few basics. Here are some tips for getting around:

Softkeys

When browsing the Web, the bottom line of your phone's display contains one or more softkeys. These keys are shortcut controls for navigating around the Web, and they correspond to the softkey buttons directly below the phone’s display screen. Depending on which Web sites you visit, the labels on the softkeys may change to indicate their function. To use softkeys, simply press the desired softkey button. If an additional pop-up menu appears when you press the softkey button,
