mand, it will give you another opportunity to say the
voice command again. If you are unsure of whether

would like to call. The phone number type can either be
“(at) Home”,“(at) Work”,or“(on/at) Other”).
If the name is recognized, the system will display the
recognized contact’s information (John Smith, in this
example) on the display screen.
If John Smith has just one phone number, the system will
ask if you would like to call John Smith. To start the call
say“Yes”, otherwise say“No”.
If John Smith has several phone numbers, the system will
ask which phone number you would like to call (e.g.,
“Call John Smith(at) Work or (at) Home?”). Answer with
the type of required phone number (e.g.,“(at) Home”).
If John Smith has several phone numbers but the “loca-
tion” (i.e.: the type of phone number like work, home,
etc.) is missing, the system will display the selected
contact and a list of related phone numbers.To call the displayed phone number, say“Call”.

shorten the number of steps required to make the phone
call.
