Voice Search & Voice Actions
You can use Voice Actions with Google Search to get directions, send messages, and perform a number

Tap the Microphone icon on the Home screen or Google Now screen and speak.
Tap the search bar on the Home screen and say “Google”.
Basics
20
When you’re viewing the Google Now screen, you don’t have to touch anything. Just say “Google.”
NOTE
To detect when you say “Google” to launch Voice Search or Voice Actions, Google analyzes
sound picked up by your Sero 7’s microphone in intervals of a few seconds or less. The sound is
immediately discarded after analysis and is not stored on the device or sent to Google servers.
Using Voice Actions
Speak the Voice Action you want to use. Here are some typical examples:
“Set alarm for 8:30 a.m.”
“Send email to Marcus Foster. Subject: Coming tonight? Message: Hope to see you later.”
“Navigate to Mike’s bikes in Palo Alto.”
As you speak, Voice Search analyzes your speech and initiates the action.
If Voice Search doesn’t understand you, it lists a set of possible meanings. Just tap the one you want.
Some Voice Actions, such as “send email” and “note to self,” open a panel that prompts you to complete
the action by speaking or typing more information.
Tap any text already entered in the panel to add or edit the text by typing.
To speak text instead of typing, rst tap the Microphone key
near the bottom left of the on-screen
keyboard.
Tap underlined words or phrases or drag across multiple words to view a list of alternate
transcriptions, or to edit by speaking or typing.
When condent that the transcription is accurate, Voice Search displays transcribed words as regular
text. Words or phrases for which it has provided alternate transcriptions are underlined.
Tap a button at the bottom of the window to add any optional elds (you can also speak the name
and content of any of these elds in your original voice action).
When you’re done, tap the button appropriate to complete the action, such as Send.

apps and services that you may want to use, such as Gmail, Google Maps, Navigation, Google Play,
YouTube, Google Talk, Messenger, and many more.

Certification and Compliance
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
Sero 7 contains radio transmitters and receivers. When on, Sero 7 sends and receives radio frequency
(RF) energy through its antenna. The WLAN antenna is located at rear of the tablet, see Overview on
page 3 for more details. Sero 7 has been tested and meets the SAR exposure requirements for WLAN
operation.
Sero 7 is designed and manufactured to comply with the limits for exposure to RF energy set by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United State. The exposure standard employs a
unit of measurement known as the specic absorption rate, or SAR. The SAR limit applicable to Sero 7
Appendix B
55
set by the FCC is 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg). Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions specied by these agencies, with Sero 7 transmitting at its highest certied power level in
all tested frequency bands. Although SAR is determined at the highest certied power level in each
frequency band, the actual SAR level of Sero 7 while in operation can be well below the maximum
value because Sero adjusts its WLAN transmitting power based in part on orientation and proximity to
the wireless network. In general, the closer you are to a WLAN Router, the lower the WLAN transmitting
power level.
Sero 7 has been tested, and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for WLAN operation. When tested at
direct body contact, Sero 7’s maximum SAR value for each frequency band is outlined below:
FCC SAR
Frequency Band (MHz)FCC 1g SAR Limit (W/kg)Highest Value ( W/kg)

Additional Information
For more information from the FCC about exposure to RF energy, see: www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety
The FCC and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also maintain a consumer website at www.
fda.gov/Radiation-EmittingProducts/default.htm to address inquiries about the safety of mobile
phones. Check the website periodically for updates.
For information about the scientific research related to RF energy exposure, see the EMF Research
Database maintained by the World Health Organization at: www.who.int/emf
FCC Compliance Statement
