Voice dialling  
Your device supports enhanced voice commands.  
Enhanced voice commands are not dependent on the  
speaker’s voice, so the user does not record voice tags in  
advance. Instead, the device creates a voice tag for the  
entries in contacts, and compares the spoken voice tag to  
it. The voice recognition in the device adapts to the main  
user’s voice to recognise the voice commands better.  
To drop a participant, select Options > Conference>  
Drop participant, scroll to the participant, and select  
Drop.  
The voice tag for a contact is the name or nickname that is  
saved on the contact card. To listen to the synthesised  
voice tag, open a contact card, and select Options > Play

If several numbers are saved under the name, the device  
selects the default number, if it has been set. Otherwise  
the device selects the first available number of the  
following: Mobile, Mobile (home), Mobile (business),  
Telephone, Tel. (home), and Tel. (business).  
Make a call with a voice tag  
Note: Using voice tags may be difficult in a noisy  
environment or during an emergency, so you should  
not rely solely upon voice dialing in all  
circumstances.  
When you use voice dialling, the loudspeaker is in use. Hold  
the device at a short distance away when you say the voice  
tag.  
1 To start voice dialling, press and hold the capture key.  
If you are using a compatible headset with the headset  
key, press and hold the headset key to start voice  
dialling.  
Video calls  
When you make a video call, you can see a real-time,  
two-way video between you and the recipient of the call.  
The live video image, or the selected still image captured  
by the camera in your device is shown to the video call  
recipient.  
2 A short tone is played, and Speak now is displayed. Say  
clearly the name or nickname that is saved on the  
contact card.  
3 The device plays a synthesised voice tag for the  
recognised contact in the selected device language,  
and displays the name and number. After a timeout of  
1.5 seconds, the device dials the number.  
To be able to make a video call, you must have a USIM card  
and be in the coverage of a UMTS network. For availability  
of and subscription to video call services, contact your  
network operator or service provider. A video call can only  
be made between two parties. The video call can be made  
to a compatible mobile phone or an ISDN client. Video calls  
cannot be made while there is another voice, video, or data  
call active.  
If the recognised contact was not correct, select Next  
to view a list of other matches, or Quit to cancel voice  
dialling.  
Warning! You cannot make emergency calls in the  
Imaging mode because the keypad is not active. To  
make an emergency call, activate the Fold open  
mode.
