There are two ways of entering letters, for example, when writing a message or writing a name in the phonebook:

To use T9 Text Input, you must select either Standard abc or 123... as the writing language.

Tips when recording and using voice commands

If your phone cannot detect your voice command, one of the following might have happened:

• You spoke too softly – try speaking louder.

• You held the phone too far away – hold it as you do during a call.

• The voice command was too short – it should be about one second long and more than one syllable.

• You spoke too late or too soon – speak immediately after the tone.

• You did not record the voice command when the handsfree was attached – attach the handsfree and then record.

• You used another intonation – use the same intonation as the recorded voice command.

• The environment could be too loud or have too much background noise.

Forwarding calls

If you cannot answer incoming calls, you can forward them to another number, for example, your answering service.

When the Restrict calls function is activated, some Forward calls options are not available.

Select from the following forward options:

• Always Forward

• When Busy

on the phone.

• Not Reachable

• No Re ply
