Recording Your Voiceprint
A voiceprint allows the system to authenticate you when you log in. A
voiceprint is similar to a fingerprint—it distinguishes you from other people. If
you have recorded your voiceprint, you will be challenged to repeat some digits
when you log in. The system compares your voice with your recorded voiceprint
and denies the login if there is a mismatch.
Voiceprint authentication is active only if it has been enabled by your system
administrator. Your system administrator needs to provide separate permissions
for you to record and erase your voiceprint. Normally, only your system
administrator will have permission to erase the voiceprint of another user.
Until your voiceprint has been recorded, other users will be able to log in under
your name. Your system administrator may have configured the system to
prompt you to record your voiceprint the first time you log in.
To allow the system to authenticate you when you log in, use the following
commands to record or erase your voiceprint.

Erase my voiceprint.
Make sure you record your voiceprint in a quiet place and speak in a normal
voice.
Important: After you have recorded your voiceprint, you should test it several
times by logging in and out. If you have trouble logging in, you should erase
your voiceprint or ask your system administrator to erase it so you can log in
and re-record it. The system automatically refines your voiceprint over time; the
more times you log in successfully, the easier it is for the system to recognize
your voice the next time.
Blocking and Accepting Calls
You can use the following voice commands to block or accept calls. Some
of these commands offer more flexibility than the comprehensive blocking
provided by the Hold/DND button.
