Voice dialling

You can voice dial by saying a pre-recorded voice 
command. Start voice dialling from standby using 
the phone, a portable handsfree or by saying your 
magic word.

From standby, press and hold one of the 
volume buttons.

Lift the phone to your ear, wait for the tone and

“John mobile”. The name is played back to 
you and the call is connected.

The magic word

command to allow totally handsfree access to voice 
dialling. Instead of pressing and holding a volume 
button to voice dial, you say the magic word and 
then one of your recorded voice commands. The 
magic word is especially suitable when using a car
