Note: Do NOT press Quit when you’re finished.
The phone automatically stops recording and then saves and replays the
voice tag.
If recording is not successful, your phone displays
Voice system error.
Press Options, scroll to Add voice tag, and repeat steps 3 - 5.
Warning: Do not rely only on a voice tag for dialing emergency numbers.
In emergencies, stress causes changes in your voice, which
may keep the phone from recognizing the command.
Notes about voice tags
• Voice tags are not language dependent. Any clearly spoken word or
phrase can serve as a voice tag.
• It’s easier for the phone to differentiate between long, unique voice
tags. For example you might want to record a person’s first and last
names rather than only the first name.
• Voice tags must be shorter than 2 seconds.
• Voice tags are sensitive to background noise. For best results, record
them in a quiet environment.
• If you delete a name, any associated voice tag is also deleted.
• The recording process stops automatically. Pressing Quit aborts the
recording attempt.
