Tips when recording and using voice commands If your phone cannot detect speech, one of the following might have happened: • You spoke too softly - try speaking louder. • You held the phone too far away - hold it as you do during a call. • The voice command was too short - it should be around one second long and more than one syllable. • You spoke too late or too soon - speak immediately after the tone. • You did not record the voice command when the handsfree was attached - for voice control with a handsfree kit, record when the handsfree is attached. You used another intonation - use the same intonation as you did when recording the voice command. Calling 33 This is the Internet version of the user's guide. © Print only for private use.
