telephone (VB-D411DSV/VB-44224HK) allows you to choose between

stored in the Phonebook to initiate a call to that destination.

names, etc. See the Operation Instruction (Section 700) for details of normal
key operations.
This manual consists of the following chapters:
•We recommend that you store your spoken commands in the system to
improve the performance of voice recognition.

store names and telephone numbers in the Phonebook. (See page 9.)
3. After confirming the Large LED (Message LED) lights Red,

the one you have spoken, and Voice Guidance then asks "  "
Right?" to confirm the selection (  ). The telephone number is

name in the Phonebook. Using a different tone of voice may result
in the name not being retrieved.

( ). The telephone number is displayed on the 1st display. If
this is not the desired number, say "No" to repeat the search one
more time. If there is no registration close to your
pronunciation, an error tone will be issued. If, on the 3rd
attempt, the correct number is not found, operation returns to
"Call Who?". One possibility is that you are saying the name
using a different tone or in a different manner from that
originally used to record it in the Phonebook. Try saying the
name again.

"No other choices." You may have spoken the name using
a different tone or a different manner from that originally
used to record it in the Phonebook, or a name that is not in
the Phonebook. Replace the handset to cancel the call,
check the contents of the Phonebook, then try to place the
call again. At most three candidates are presented. They
are the names in the Phonebook that are the closest the
names you spoke. If ambient sounds, etc., result in the
spoken words sounding totally different from any
candidates in the Phonebook, the search is cancelled
before the 3rd try.
•If you do not hear any Voice Guidance after saying "Yes"
(or "No"), press the Soft Key [EXEC].
