Digit Dial
Digit Dialing allows you use your Sprint PCS Phone to dial valid North
American phone numbers simply by speaking each digit.
Tips for digit dialing
ᮣ
Digit Dialing works best in quieter environments
ᮣ
Say each digit clearly. However, there is no need to pause between
digits.
ᮣ
The phone recognizes only the digits one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, zero, and oh. Therefore, you must say each digit
in the number. The phone can not recognize numbers such as "one
eight hundred" for "1-800." Say "one-eight-zero-zero" instead.
ᮣ
The phone only recognizes valid North American phone numbers.
ᮣ
If your phone does not usually recognize you correctly when you are
digit dialing, you may improve recognition accuracy by adapting the
system to your voice. See the section "Adapting Digit Dialing" for
details.
To place a call using digit dialing
1. Press and hold down for a few seconds. The phone prompts
you for a command.
2. Say Digit Dial . The phone prompts you to say the number.
3. Pronouncing each digit distinctly, without pausing between digits.
4. If the phone asks you, "Did You Say," followed by the correct
number, say "Yes." You can also select the correct number from
those displayed on the screen by pressing
on the correct number.
The phone will then dial the number.
5. If the phone asks you, "Did You Say," followed by an incorrect
number, say "No." If there are other alternatives, the phone will
prompt you with the next one. You can also use the navigation key
up and down buttons to select the correct number from the choice
list, and then press
to dial.
In some cases, the phone might ask you to repeat a number. Make sure
that the number is a valid North American phone number and then say
the number again. If the number isn't valid, or if the phone still doesn't
understand the number on the second try, it will not place a call.
