command. Any command spoken
before this does not register with
the system.
• Speak naturally, without long pauses between words.
• At any time, you can interrupt the system while it is speaking by
pressing the voice icon.
Accessing a List of Available
Commands

the level of system interaction, help
and feedback. The system defaults
to standard interaction that uses
candidate lists and confirmation
prompts as these provide the highest
level of guidance and feedback.

•Interaction Mode: Novice mode
provides detailed interaction and
guidance while the advanced
mode has less audible interaction
and more tone prompts.
• Confirmation Prompts: The
system uses these short questions
to confirm your voice request. If
turned off, the system simply
makes a best guess as to what you
requested. The system may still
occasionally ask you to confirm
settings.
• Phone and Media Candidate
Lists: Candidate lists are lists of
possible results from your voice
commands. The system creates
these lists when it has the same
confidence level of several options
based on your voice command.

touchscreen:
1. Press the Settings icon > Settings
> then Voice Control.

commands: 1. Press the voice icon. Wait for the
prompt "Please say a command".

Using Voice Commands with the
Touchscreen Options
Your voice system has a dual mode
feature which allows you to switch
between using voice commands and
making on-screen selections. This is
available only when the system
displays a list of candidates generated
during a voice session. For example,
when entering in a street address or
trying to call a contact from the phone
you paired to the system.
