using voice recognition.
After pressing the talk/pick-up button, wait for the beep before speaking a

You do not need to speak slow ly. Speak at a normal speed.When calling a person in the device's phone book, the recognition rate increases
the longer the name is. Errors may occur with names that are short such as
“Mama”, “Home”, or “Wife”.
