Using Voice Control
Tips
• Try to record in an area where there is little or no
background noise.
• Try to record your voice with the same equipment
that you normally use with your phone. For example,
if you normally have your phone connected to a car
handsfree device when using voice commands,
record your voice commands when your phone is in
a car handsfree device.
• If you plan to use voice functions handheld mode,
hold the phone up to the ear in the position that
would normally be used on a call.
• Begin speaking after the tone ends.
• Keep in mind that longer voice tags provide a higher
recognition rate.
• Shorter tags may cause a lower recognition rate.
For example, the name “Rob” can easily be
confused with “Bob”.
• Create unique tags. Name tags with the same first
names can be confused. For example, John Doe and
John Jones may not be distinguishable.
• Record your voice using the same tone and
inflection as you would when normally speaking. Try
not to over-pronounce or speak too slowly when
recording.
• At anytime during voice recognition, you can
say “cancel” to stop recognition.
• Say “help” at anytime (except during Voice
Answering) to see and hear online help.
Magic Word
You can use the
Magic Word
voice command to allow
totally handsfree access to voice control. Instead of
pressing and holding the side volume keys or the
handsfree button, you say the Magic Word and then
one of your recorded voice commands. The Magic
Word is especially suitable when driving a car with a car
handsfree kit installed, because you use external power
instead of the battery power of your phone. You can
also use the Magic Word when the phone is connected
to a portable handsfree (the standby time will be
reduced). The default Magic Word is “Wake Up”. You
