SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
For your safety from the Voice Sense QWERTY, please read safety
precautions carefully.
1. The input voltage of the AC adapter is 100V - 240V, and the output is
DC 5V / 2A.
2. When the Voice Sense QWERTY is shipped, the battery may be
separate from the unit to avoid damage. The battery may not be fully
charged when it is shipped. Before you use the Voice Sense
QWERTY, you should make sure the battery is fully charged. When
you use the Voice Sense QWERTY for the first time, you may need to
open the package, take the battery, and insert it into the battery slot at
the rear panel of the unit. It is possible that the dealer or distributor
from whom you purchased the Voice Sense QWERTY from has
already done this for you.
3. When you use the Voice Sense QWERTY with the battery for the first
time, the battery status may not be displayed accurately. In order to
avoid this, connect the Voice Sense QWERTY to the AC adapter for
about six hours with turn on. If you want to use the Voice Sense
QWERTY immediately after opening the box, you will need to connect
the AC adapter to the unit for more than six hours to fully charge the
battery.
4. Do not keep discharge battery a long time. If you want to keep the
discharge battery, it means the battery life will decrease.
5. If you want or need to take the battery out of the unit, turn the power
off, and then take the battery out of the unit. Before putting the battery
back in to the unit, make certain that the power switch is turned off.
6. When you are using the Voice Sense QWERTY on battery power only
(without the AC adapter), the status of the remaining battery power
will be announced when the battery power is low. When the battery’s
II
charge falls below 15 percent, connect the AC adapter to the unit for
recharging. If the remaining battery power drops to five percent, and
the unit is not connected to the AC adapter, the Voice Sense
QWERTY will shut down one minute after the announcement of the
battery’s status. The amount of battery life per charge will vary
depending on the options you have set.
7. Your Voice Sense QWERTY needs to be handled with care. The
Voice Sense QWERTY is a very delicate machine. You should make
sure to handle the unit in a proper manner. Also, the Voice Sense
QWERTY is very sensitive to dust. Make sure to keep the Voice
Sense QWERTY away from dusty environments.
8. You will need to register your Voice Sense QWERTY in order to
ensure further maintenance, service, and upgrade information.
Please visit www.himsintl.com
have any trouble when registering your information, please contact
the dealer whom you purchased your Voice Sense QWERTY product
from for help.
9. Do not take apart the Voice Sense QWERTY by yourself. Do not have
anyone else who is not authorized by HIMS take apart the Voice
Sense QWERTY. If an unqualified person disassembles the unit,
serious damage may occur to the Voice Sense QWERTY. If an
unauthorized person disassembles the Voice Sense QWERTY, the
unit will be excluded from any free maintenance, and the warranty will
become void. If any liquid or external force damages the unit, it may
also be excluded from free maintenance, even if the damage
occurred during the warranty period.
10. If you let your Voice Sense QWERTY remain for a long time at the
, to register your information. If you
closed or high temperature places like inside of car, the battery
attached to the Voice Sense QWERTY may be defected or fired. So
please don’t keep your Voice Sense QWERTY at those places.
11. If you have any complaints or suggestions, please provide us with
III
your comments on our website. We will improve our product based on
your comments and suggestions. Thank you for using the Voice
Sense QWERTY, and we value any comments or suggestions you

This user manual uses a specific notation of how to press keys. When
you see, “Fn-B” this means that you would press the “Space” and “B”
simultaneously. This is a very important concept to understand when
using this manual.
In order to use the Voice Sense QWERTY, you will need to understand
what a menu is, and how it works. You will also need to understand what
a text box is, and how to type in information in a text box. You will want
to read section 2.7 to help you understand basic concepts of menus. It is
very important that you completely understand concepts such as this, so
that you are able to use the Voice Sense QWERTY to its fullest potential.
If you find that you are unable to find a solution to a problem within the
manual, or if you need assistance with the Voice Sense QWERTY,

1.2 Hardware
In order to get the most out of your Voice Sense QWERTY, you will want
to become familiar with the Voice Sense QWERTY by learning where
the buttons and ports are located, as well as the function of each of
these buttons and ports.
This section explains the hardware configuration of the Voice Sense
QWERTY. The dimensions of the Voice Sense QWERTY are 8.6 inches
long by 4.9 inches wide by 0.7 inches high. On the bottom of the unit,
there are rubber feet in order to prevent slipping while you are using the
Voice Sense QWERTY. The input keys are keyboard of QWERTY type.
The first thing you should do is place the Voice Sense QWERTY on a
level surface that you can use to examine the Voice Sense QWERTY,
such as a table or desk. When the Voice Sense QWERTY is placed on a
level surface, the shape of the entire unit will resemble a small, thin
rectangular box. The Voice Sense QWERTY has six sides. You should
feel for the LCD and keyboard. The side that the LCD and keyboard are
on should be facing up. The side that is now facing up is referred to as
the top of the Voice Sense QWERTY. The side that is facing to your
right is called the right side panel. The side facing to your left is called
2
the left side panel. The side that is facing away from you is called the
rear panel. The side that is facing toward you is called the front panel,
and the side that the Voice Sense QWERTY is sitting on is called the
bottom panel.
This section of the manual describes each side of the Voice Sense
QWERTY and the basic function(s) of each button and port. We will
discuss each of the panels in the following order: top panel, right side
panl, left side panel, rear panel, front panel and bottom panel.

line.
Beginning from number 1 in second line, tactile point is situated so that
can find position of number 5 and number 0. There is tactile point on
second line right frame, there is backspace on left. There is tactile point
on third line left frame, there is “Tab” on right. Tactile point is situated in
left index finger and right index finger place in keyboard. “R” and “U” in
third line, “F” and “J” in fourth line, “V” and “M” in fifth line are mark with
dots. Through this, you can find position of keys. Tactile point that can

2.2 Charging Battery and Check Battery Status
It is very useful to know what the remaining battery power when the
Voice Sense QWERTY is being operated only on battery power. If the
remaining battery power is not sufficient, the Voice Sense QWERTY will
indicate that the battery power is low. In this case, you need to check the
remaining battery power, especially when you are using the Voice Sense
QWERTY without plugging it into an AC power supply.
To check the battery power status, press “Fn-b”. You will find the
following 2 items:
1. Battery power level
2. Power source (battery or AC supply)
The battery power level represents the percentage of the remaining
battery power. The power source indicates whether power is coming
from the battery or the AC power supply. If the battery power level drops
under 15 percent, the Voice Sense QWERTY will display the battery
status on the LCD, and it will announce (through the speakers) that the
battery has less than 15 percent of its power left. If the battery power
level falls below five percent, the Voice Sense QWERTY will give you a
warning indicating that your battery power level is under five percent,
and the Voice Sense QWERTY will be automatically turned off in one
minute, unless you connect the Voice Sense QWERTY to an AC power
