WARNING: 911 Emergency Calling

Main

Main

Main

Sprint recommends that TTY users make
emergency calls by other means, including
Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS),
analog cellular, and landline communications.
Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted
when received by public safety answering points
(PSAPs), rendering some communications
unintelligible. The problem encountered appears
related to software used by PSAPs. This matter
has been brought to the attention of the FCC,
and the wireless industry and the PSAP
community are currently working to resolve this.

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)

You can use your phone’s built-in automatic speech
recognition (ASR) software to dial a phone number in

recognize your voice and complete tasks by itself.

Activating ASR

Command.

– or –
Press and hold .

The screen displays and says “Say a command.” The
phone prompts you to say the name of the command
you want to use. To complete your task, simply follow
the voice prompts.

Note: Any of the onscreen options and functions can also be

touched to activate.

Available ASR commands include:

䢇 Call <Name or#> to call an entry in your Contacts

list or a spoken phone number. (See “Making a
Voice Call With Speech to Action” on page 82.)

䢇 Send Text <Name or #> to launch text messaging

on your phone and specify a recipient for a new
message. (See “Sending a Message” on page 84.)
