How to speak numbers
The Voice Recognition system requires the user
to speak numbers in a certain way when giving
voice commands.
General rule:
500, 800 and 900 can be pronounced as “five
hundred”, “eight hundred” and “nine hundred”
respectively.
For other numbers, only single digits 0 (zero) to 9
can be used. (For example, for the number “600”,
speaking “six zero zero” can be recognized by
the system, but “six hundred” cannot.) Example:
1-800-662-6200
“One eight hundred six six two six two zero zero”
INFO:
For the best recognition, speak “zero” for the
number “0”, and “oh” for the letter “o”.

Operating tips for phone command operation:
. After the command “Call”, a name registered in the phonebook can be spoken for recognition, while a phone number can be spoken after the command
“Dial”. Names from the phonebook cannot be spoken after the command “Dial”.
. Names in the phonebook can be recognized when only a first name is spoken or when spoken in the order of first name and then the last name. The
system does not recognize the commands when only a last name is spoken or if the phonebook name was pronounced with last name first and then the
first name.
. The system has the function to read the text messages out loud, but misreading may occur in some cases.
. Even if nicknames such as “Mom” or “Dad” are registered in the cellular phone, the voice recognition system recognizes only names. To have the system
recognize the nicknames, register the entries in the [Quick Dial] from the Phone menu.
