You can call a number simply by speaking a name stored in the Phonebook.

Notes: • The name and number must be stored in the Phonebook. (See
Chapter 2, "Making a Phonebook Entry" on page 11.)
1. Lift the handset and listen for the dial tone.
2. Press the START/END Key (FF12 Key)
The dial tone stops and Voice Guidance asks "Call Who?"
Note: If no names or telephone numbers have been stored in the
Phonebook, the TOP MENU is displayed. When you say "call" at
this point, "Phonebook Empty" will be heard. This is your cue to
store names and telephone numbers in the Phonebook. (See page
11.)
3. After confirming the Large LED (Message LED) lights Red,
speak the name of the person you wish to call.
The system searches the Phonebook for the name closest to the
one you have spoken, and Voice Guidance then asks "mm"
Right?" to confirm the selection (mm). The telephone number is
displayed on the 1st display.
Note: Speak the name using the same voice you used to store the
name in the Phonebook. Using a different tone of voice may result
in the name not being retrieved.
Example:To call "Panasonic"
Say "Panasonic."→Voice Guidance responds with the
question '"Panasonic" Right?'
Note: Your voice will not be recognized if you call the name before
