A word from us
This Dialer is the new successor in the Dialer line of products. Years of
experience, market feedback, and use of the latest voice-recognition
technology have enabled us to build the most advanced voice-recognition
phone dialer in the world. We appreciate your trusting us by purchasing this
product, and we wish you a long and enjoyable experience with it.
Voice recognition is breaking new ground every day and is being used in
more and more everyday appliances and devices. But we ask you to keep
just one limitation in mind when using Dialer: The machine cannot hear better
then we do. It cannot understand the human voice when loud noises are
present. Sometimes it even needs to hear something twice, just as we do.
With this in mind, we are confident that you will use Dialer successfully!
Here are the new features that were not present in earlier versions of Dialer:
•High-quality name recording and playback.
•Missing-line detection and audio warning.
•4 digits per number to allow for all international and/or calling-card based
numbers.
•Menu-based microphone sensitivity setting (headset/speakerphone).
•A prefix digit and delay can be easily added or removed from all numbers (at
once) to enable, and wait for, outside line access.
•During a call, voice dialing can be activated again. This feature enables you
to use the dialer in online banking services, etc.
•Menu-based language selection.
•Menu-based mode change to allow Dialer to work independently or coupled
to a speaker phone, like the Clarity RC200, for a totally hands-free telephone system.
•Remote online support using the telephone line.
About this manual
This manual is divided into three main chapters:
•Chapter One describes how to install Dialer, add names,
erase a name or all names, listen to stored names and, most
importantly, dial a name using only your voice!
•Chapter Two describes how to dial a number during a
call, work with a speakerphone, work when connected to a
Private Branch eXchange (PBX), and change the spoken
language.
•Chapter Three answers Frequently Asked Questions, and
provides technical details, important notices, and warranty
information.

Chapter One
This chapter describes how to install Dialer, add names, erase a name or all
names, listen to stored names, and, most importantly, dial a name using only
your voice!
Installin Dialer
To use Dialer, install it by following these three steps:
A. Connect the supplied power adaptor to the AC wall outlet and to the
Dialer jack marked ‘Power’. When the power is applied, you should see
two bright blue lights light up, one on the 'phone' jack and the other on the
'line' jack of the Dialer unit. They indicate that the power is ON. If you do
not see these lights, please see the ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ section
in Chapter Three for assistance.
B. Connect the modular cord from your telephone to the Dialer jack
marked ‘Phone’.
C. Connect the supplied modular cord from the Dialer jack marked ‘Line’
to the modular phone jack on your wall.
That’s It! The Dialer is now ready to be used.
Addin names & numbers
Once the Dialer is connected, you can start adding names. Please follow
these steps:
A. Make a list of the names and numbers you wish to add to Dialer. This
list is important because it will simplify training the Dialer. Consider
these tips:
•Do not use very short names like ‘Joe’. Instead,
use both first and last names.
•If two names are very similar (first name, or last
names, are the same in both names), try training one of
the names in reverse order.
B. Choose a quiet moment, when no TV sounds or other background
noises are present. Training the unit in a noisy environment will result
in poor recognition later.
4
C. Dialer is shipped with a blank memory. Pick up the handset. The unit
will play back the main menu. Press ‘1’ to add a new name.
D. When asked, say the name to be added. Speak clearly but as normally
as possible. When prompted to repeat the name, do so. If the training
of the name has been successful, Dialer will ask you for the
corresponding phone number. If the training has failed, Dialer will
issue a sound that means a general error has occurred, or Dialer will
state the specific problem that has occurred.
E. When prompted, enter the number using your phone's keypad. You
can enter up to 4 digits. You can program pauses (3 seconds each)
within the phone number (to be used by calling cards or other
advanced services) by pressing the star key (*) twice. Press the pound
key (#) when you are done entering the number. Dialer will read back
the phone number you have just entered and then will store the name
and its number.
F. Dialer will automatically ask you for the next name. If you do not wish
to continue, simply hang up or press the pound key (#) to get back to
the main menu.
Trainin Dialer with commands (di its)
A. Choose a quiet moment, where no TV sounds or other background
noises are present. Training the unit in a noisy environment will result
in poor recognition rates later on.
B. Pick up the handset. If you have already trained Dialer with names, you
will hear the prompt "name to dial please". Press the # key following
this prompt. If you did not train it with names yet, you will hear the main
menu. Press ' ' to train the commands.
C. Dialer will now ask you to say the ten digits and star. You will need to
say each digit twice. After each digit, you will hear a playback of the
digit you just said. Move on to the next digit.
D. Once all digits have been trained, Dialer will ask you to train the dialing
command. This can be any word you wish but 'Dial Number' is always
a good choice.
That’s all! Dialer is now ready to listen to your voice and dial for you.

Voice dialin
Please follow these easy steps to dial:
A. Pick up the handset. If you have already trained Dialer with
names, it will ask you for name to dial. If you have trained it only with
digits, it will ask you for a number to dial. At the prompt, say the name
you wish to call or the first digit of the number you wish to voice dial.
B. If you said a name, Dialer will playback the recognized name
and will dial the corresponding number. If Dialer did not recognize the
name, you will be asked to try again. If Dialer still does not recognize
the name after 2 or 3 attempts, please see the ’Frequently Asked
Questions’ section in Chapter Three for assistance
C. If you said a digit, Dialer will respond with reading you back the
digit it recognized and will now wait for your next digit. Continue by
saying the digits of the number in this method. When you are done, say
the dial command. Dialer will now say 'Dialing…' and will repeat the
digits you have just said. Please listen to the read digits and verify they
are the digits you said. In case Dialer makes a mistake, simply hang
up. If all the digits are correct, Dialer will dial the number.
D. At the end of the call, simply hang up as you always do.
E. If you wish to redial the last number you said using digits, simply
say the dial command without any digits.
Please also note these followin eneral important remarks:
1. You can disconnect Dialer from AC power whenever
needed, without concern. The names and numbers will not be
lost, and your phone will continue to operate normally. The
same applies for a power outage.
2. If you are using a cordless phone, please verify that the
sound on the line is ‘clean’ with no ‘white’ noises. These ‘white’
noises, usually occur when the mobile part of the cordless
phone is far from its base. Such noises can make it difficult for
Dialer to recognize names.
3. To access the main menu, once memory has at least one
name stored in it, do the following:
a. Pick up the handset.
b. After Dialer prompts you for a name to call, press
the pound key (#).
6
4. If you would like to dial a number manually, do the
following:
a. Pick up the handset.
b. After Dialer prompts you for a name to call, press
any of the dialing keys except the pound key (#). Dialer
will connect you directly to the telephone line so that you
can dial manually.
5. Dialer is based on speaker-dependent voice-recognition
technology. This means that only the person who trained Dialer
can use it. However, two or more users can share Dialer. Each
user can store his/her own names and numbers, and then can
call them independently.
6. Dialer works only with the phone plugged into it, and not
with other phones on the same phone line. Dialer will recognize
names best if the phone used for training continues to be the
one used with Dialer. Substituting another phone for the one
used for training can lead to poor recognition results. Multiple
copies of Dialer can be used on the same phone line, each
working independently with the phone to which it is connected.
Erasin a sin le name
Erasing a single name from memory can be accomplished in two different
ways, as described below:
Method 1:
A. Pick up the handset. Dialer asks for a name to call. Press the

B. Press the ‘2’ key. Dialer asks for a name to erase. Say the name
you wish to erase.
C. If the name is found, Dialer asks you to confirm the erasure of
the name by pressing the ‘ ’ key. [Any other action (for example,
hanging up) will cause the name not to be erased.]
D. Press the ' ' button. The name will be erased and Dialer will
return to the main menu. If this was the last name remaining in

C. When you hear the name you wish to erase, press any of the
dialing keys, except the pound key (#). Dialer asks you to confirm
the erasure of the name by pressing the ‘ ’ key. [Any other action
(for example, hanging up) will cause the name not to be erased.]
D. Press the ' ' button. The name will be erased and Dialer will
return to the main menu. If this was the last name remaining in
memory, a 'Memory Empty' prompt and a sound will be heard.
Erasin all names
Warnin : Erasin all names is an irreversible operation. Use it with care!

Chapter Two
This chapter describes how to dial a number during a call, work with
a speakerphone, enable Dialer to work when connected to a Private
Branch eXchange (PBX), and change the spoken language.
Dialin a number durin a call (currently works only with the US / UK languages selected)
While in a call, you can activate the name-dialing or digit-dialing
function again in order to transmit DTMF tones needed for online
banking services, calling cards, etc. To activate this feature, do the
following:
A. Pick up the handset. Dialer asks you for a name to dial. Say the
name you wish to dial. Dialer dials that name.
B. While in the call, stay silent for a second (make sure the other
party is silent as well), and say "activate dialing".
C. Dialer will now engage again and will ask you for a name to dial.
Say the name you wish to dial during the call. Dialer will transmit
the number to the line.
D. If you wish, you can repeat this process over and over again.
Simply return to step B above.
E. You can also say digits, and Dialer will transmit your digits to the
line. Once you say the first digit, you can continue and say more
digits, without the need to say "activate dialing" between each
digit.
Example: Say you wish to access your account status using your
bank's automatic telephone service. You can store your bank
telephone number under the name "bank", your account number
under the name "account", and your pin code under the name "pin".
Then voice dial to your bank; and, when asked to punch in your
account number, simply say "activate dialing". Dialer will ask you
for a name to dial. Say the name "account", and Dialer will transmit
the tones of your account number to your bank. Then, when asked
to punch in your pin number, say "activate dialing" again followed
by the name "pin". This method can be used in other situations that
require dialing a number during a call.
Workin with a Speakerphone
Dialer can be connected and used with a speakerphone. Since
working with a speakerphone usually means that the voice signal
level coming from the user will be lower then when working with a
handset, it is recommended (but not mandatory) that you change
Dialer's microphone mode by following these steps:
9
A. Pick up the handset. If names are stored, Dialer asks you for a
name to call. Press the pound key (#).
B. While hearing the main menu, press the '7' key to toggle between
'handset mode' and 'speakerphone mode'. Select 'speakerphone
mode'.
Workin with the Clarity RC200 speakerphone
Dialer has a unique operational mode, called "Basic" which is
specifically designed to work with the RC200 speakerphone. In this
mode, after you press the speakerphone button (or pick up the
handset), Dialer will silently wait for the pound key (#) to be pressed.
Only after that key has been pressed will Dialer resume normal
operation, such as asking for a name to dial or reading the menu. This
pound key (#) will be transmitted from the RC200. Follow these easy
steps to activate the “Basic” mode:
In Dialer:
A. Pick up the handset. If names are stored, Dialer asks you for a
name to call. Press the pound key (#).
B. Upon hearing the main menu, press the '9' key to toggle between
'Basic mode' and 'Freedom mode'. Select 'Basic mode'.
In the RC200:
A. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on how to set up
the RC200; and make sure that the phone, the remote
control, and any other optional accessories work. Be sure to
turn off the scan feature, as described on page of the
manufacturer’s instructions for the RC200.
B. Program only the first memory location with a single
pound key (#).
Now connect the RC200 to Dialer, as described in Chapter 1 of this
manual for any other telephone. Please note that, if you wish to add
names, you will be required to use the RC200 keypad.
To place a call, give the remote control a short press and wait for Dialer
to ask you for a name to call. To end the call, press the remote control
again.
Workin with a PBX
There are situations where Dialer is not connected directly to a phone
line, but rather to a Private Branch eXchange (PBX). A good example
is a nursing home. To get an outside line, one usually needs to dial a
