saying the number, this means you spoke too quickly
after the “Phone number to dial, please” response.
Just repeat the entire number again.
 If you gave the entire number to dial and you received
a “Pardon” response, that means the system did not
hear all the digits of the phone number. Say the
number again and be sure you do not pause between
digits.

prompted to the digit dial format. This lets you dial
each digit individually and should be more

COMMANDS/SPEECH RECOGNITION” on page 474
