“Sergeant” instead of “Sgt.”).

instead of “CFD”). 4) Do not use special characters
(e.g., “@”, “hyphen -“, “asterisk *”,
ampersand &”).
5) If a name is not recognized from the contact list, change it to a
more descriptive name (e.g., use
“Grandpa Joseph” instead of “Pa
Joe”).

some accents or uncommon names.
When using Voice Recognition to
place a call, speak in a moderate

lines when storing contacts:

(e.g., “Bob”, “Mom”, etc.). Instead,
always use full names (including first
and last names) for these contacts
'@', '-', '*', '&', etc.)
"Lieutenant" instead of "Lt.") or
acronyms (i.e., use "County Finance
Department" instead of "C. F. D."; Be
sure to say the name exactly as it is
entered in the contacts list
