1 Introduction

1.1 What is Series 60?

Today’s mobile phones let you do much more than just placing phone calls or sending short text messages (SMS). They usually have an appointment calendar, a to-do list, an e-mail program, a WAP browser, and other features. And they may even come with a built-in camera, a radio, or an MP3 player.

Nokia has developed Series 60 to provide a common groundwork for smartphones that meet such requirements and licenses it to other mobile phone manufacturers, saving them from having to reinvent the wheel and enabling them to concentrate on design or application features that make their devices unique.

The model name of a phone is not an indication of whether the phone is based on the Series 60 platform. For example, the Nokia 6xxx models are not necessarily Series 60 phones. You can find a list of available and planned Symbian phones at http://www.symbian.com/phones

Most phones that are labeled Series 60 can work with the Nuance Accessibility Suite for Series 60. Other versions of the Accessibility Suite software support the Nokia Communicator phones. To find out which phones the Nuance Accessibility Suite supports or where you can buy them, have a look at the Nuance web pages at http://www.nuance.com/talks

1.2 What is the Nuance Accessibility Suite for Series 60?

The Nuance Accessibility Suite for Series 60 consists of two software modules for Series 60 mobile phones: TALKS, a screen reader, and ZOOMS, a screen magnifier. TALKS and ZOOMS enable a blind or visually impaired person to use most of the functions of their phones. With the Accessibility Suite software and a supported Series 60 phone, you can:

• Read the caller ID of an incoming call

• Dial a number from the phone’s Contacts directory

• Add new entries to or edit existing entries in the Contacts directory

• Read and write text messages (SMS)

• Access and compose multimedia message service (MMS) messages

• Read and write e-mail

• Use the Nokia browsers to access the Internet

• Change your phone’s profiles and other settings

• Use the appointment calendar

• Read and write notes

• Read the PIN entry prompt and information resulting from special phone commands, such as

*#06# to display a phone’s IMEI number, or *#0000# to show the firmware version

• Use the Wayfinder

GPS navigation software

• Use the unit converter, world and alarm clock, and other tools

In addition, users of the Premium Edition of the Nuance Accessibility Suite can add the pronunciation of unfamiliar words to the software and can add audio labels to icons in third-party applications.

The Nuance Accessibility Suite for Series 60 uses the ETI Eloquence text-to-speech software, like other screen-reading packages, so you should feel familiar with the voice right away. And the software is easy to

operate, so you can concentrate on getting the most out of your Series 60 phone instead of worrying about complicated commands for the screen reader or magnifier.

1.3 Terminology and conventions in this guide

The following terms appear throughout this user guide:

• Contacts directory: The phone book in your mobile phone. In the Contacts directory, you enter

your contacts’ names and phone numbers.

• Focused: A term that the Nuance Accessibility Suite software uses to indicate which screen

element is currently selected or in focus

• Joystick: A five-way button that enables you to navigate through menus and select menu items.

To navigate, move the joystick up, down, left, or right. To select an item, press the center of the joystick. In some phones, this key is called the scroll key.

• [Long <

key name>

]: An abbreviation for “long press.” A long press is the action of pressing a

key and holding it for about a second before releasing it.

• Soft key: A key that is located just below the display and varies in function. A soft key’s function

depends on the label that appears in the display just above the soft key—for example, Menu, Options, Select, or Cancel. Series 60 phones have two soft keys, one on the left and one on the right.

Please note the following formatting conventions:

• Brackets indicate a key on the keypad. For example, [*] refers to the key labeled with an asterisk

on the phone’s keypad. For a soft key, the guide gives the key name in square brackets followed by the software label in parentheses (the label that appears in the display), as in this example:

To open the menu, press [Key 1] (Options).

• A bold font indicates the name of a key or a software element, as in the following examples:

 To send a text message, open the main menu and select Messaging.  To switch profiles, briefly press the [Power] key.  To close the window, press [Key 1] (OK).

• A sequence of two keys separated by a comma ([Key], [Key]) indicates that you should press the

first key, release it, and then press the second key. Such sequences usually occur with the [TALKS] key, as in this example:

To hear a phrase again, press [TALKS], [#].

2 Getting started with your phone and the Nuance Accessibility

Suite

This chapter explains briefly how to use Series 60 phones and describes a few basic operations to help you start using TALKS on your phone. It is not at all meant as a substitution for the user guide that came with your phone.

2.1 The keypad

The various Series 60 phones have many of the same keys. Among these are two “soft” keys, which are located below the display. A soft key varies in function; it performs the function described in the label that appears above it in the display. In this guide, the left soft key is called [Key 1], and the right soft key is called [Key 2]. S60 3

Edition Feature Pack 2 introduced a third label that is associated with the current

function of the [Select] key; TALKS announces this label after the left and right soft keys.

Table 1 briefly describes the functions of common keys on Series 60 phones. Your phone may have additional special keys and some different features, but the table should give you a useful overview.

Table 1

Key Description

[Key 1] This key is the left soft key; its function varies according to the label just above

it. [Key 1] often opens an Options list or enables you to select a setting or menu item. In the phone application, [Key 1] acts as a shortcut for starting one important application.

When you press [Key 1] and then immediately press [*], the keypad becomes locked, which TALKS announces. If you press a key while the keypad is locked, the phone does not respond. To unlock the keypad, press the same sequence:

[Key 1] and then [*].

[Key 2] This key is the right soft key; its function varies according to the label just above

it. [Key 2] often enables you to cancel an action or close an application or settings window. In the phone application, [Key 2] acts as a shortcut for a second application.

To call a number by saying its voice tag on handsets that do not have a dedicated key for this function, press [Key 2] and hold it briefly before releasing it.

[Call] Press this key to dial a phone number that you have entered in the phone by

speaking, using the keypad, or selecting a contact (currently displayed on the screen). If you don’t enter a number, the [Call] key opens a list of your recently called numbers so that you can select one to call. When you enter an SMS, MMS, or e-mail message, use this key to send the message.

[Exit] Press this key to terminate a phone call that is in progress. The key also acts as a

shortcut that takes you straight to the phone application.

Key Description

[Edit] Since the [Edit] key provides some of the least used functions (opening the

Edit menu in a text field and enabling you to select blocks of text), the Nuance

Accessibility Suite software uses this key as the default activation key for screenreading functions. This guide refers to the key as the [TALKS] key. Some Series 60 handsets do not have an [Edit] key; in this case, [Menu] serves as the standard [TALKS] key on most handsets; on phones with a QWERTY keyboard, [CHR] is used as the default [TALKS] key.

If the [Edit] key is the [TALKS] key, to select a block of text or items in a list, press the [TALKS] key, press it again (you hear “TALKS Edit”), and hold it down while you move the joystick in the appropriate direction. On handsets that do not have an [Edit] key, you have to hold down [#], while moving with the cursor keys, or use the [Shift] key in case of a QWERTY keyboard.

[Clear] Press this key to backspace in any text field. When a list of messages or files is

displayed, you can often use this key to delete the currently selected item.

[1], [2], ... [9] You can use these keys to enter a phone number in the phone application. If you

press a numeric key and hold it briefly (a “long” press), the phone application uses the speed-dialing feature to call a number that you have predefined. In other applications, the numeric keys enable you to enter letters, digits, and punctuation marks.

[0] Press this key to enter a zero in the phone application. To activate the WAP

browser from the phone application, press the [0] key and hold it briefly. In other applications, you can press this key to enter a space or start a new paragraph.

[Select] Series 60 phones have a five-way button, called a joystick, for navigating through

menus and selecting items. To select an item, press the center of the joystick straight down. This guide uses the term [Select] for the center of the joystick.

The [Select] key enables you to quickly select a menu item, open a message, and so on, instead of selecting the same action from the Options menu of an application. If a handset offers the so-called “Active Stand-By” function, [Select] is used to activate the currently selected application icon or other element on the Stand-By screen. If “Active Stand-By” is not available, or if it is turned off, most handsets allow assigning applications to any of the 5 directions of the joystick.

[*]

(Asterisk)

Press this key to enter a star in the phone application. For instance, you can enter *#06# to display the IMEI number of a given phone. Press [*] twice in rapid succession to enter a plus sign (+) in a phone number.

In text fields, you can use [*] to enter punctuation or special characters and to select from alternative matches in the T9 dictionary. On handsets with T9 that do not have an [Edit] key, [*] displays a list with more options, like changing the writing language; on such devices, press [Long *] to access the list of symbols.

Key Description

[#]

(Number sign)

In a text field, press this key to switch between upper case and lower case and to turn the T9 dictionary on and off. On phones that have an [Edit] key, press and hold [#] briefly to switch between the alphanumeric (letters and numbers) and numeric entry modes. When no [Edit] or [Shift] key is present, this key must be pressed and held down to select text . Special commands in the phone application also require this key—for instance, in the sequence *#0000#, which displays the version number of the firmware.

[Up]

[Down]

[Left]

[Right]

Navigate through menus by moving the joystick upward, downward, to the left, or to the right. This guide refers to the four positions of the joystick as navigation keys. The navigation keys enable you to perform actions such as moving the cursor in a text field and scrolling through a list or menu.

Some Series 60 phones let you assign an application to each of these keys.

[Menu] The [Menu] key calls up the phone's main menu, from which you can start

applications, designate the order of the applications in the menu, and move applications to a different folder. To see a list of the active applications, to switch to a different one, or to close an application, press and hold [Menu].

When a handset is not equipped with an [Edit] key, and when no QWERTY keyboard is used, [Menu] is used as the default [TALKS] key, and it must be pressed twice to retain its original function.

[Power] Press this key briefly to select another profile, lock the keypad, lock the phone

against unauthorized access, or turn off the phone. To turn off the phone quickly, or to turn it on, press and hold this key.

2.2 Making a call

You can make a call in two ways—by entering the phone number or by selecting a name from the Contacts directory (phone book).

To make a phone call by entering a number:

1. Go to the phone application by pressing the [Exit] key.

2. Key in the phone number that you want to dial.

Note: To delete a digit, press [Clear].

3. Press [Call].

To call a number in your Contacts directory:

1. Start the Contacts application; you can often find it in the list of application icons on

the Stand-By screen, which you can reach by pressing [Exit]. Alternatively, you can find the Contacts application in your phone’s menu, and press [Select] to start it.

The Contacts directory appears.

2. From the list, use either of these methods to select a name:

• Press the [Up] or [Down] key until you reach the desired name.

• Key in the first few letters of the name to restrict the list to entries whose first or last name

begins with those letters, and then press [Up] or [Down] until you reach the desired name.

To switch between the list of individual contacts and a list of groups (if your Contacts directory contains any lists), press [Right] or [Left]. If your Contacts directory has more than two tabs, press [Right] again to view contact groups on another tab.

3. Press [Call].

If the name is associated with only one number, the phone dials that number. If the name is associated with more than one number, the phone displays the numbers so that you can select one.

During a phone call, you can speak with your phone at your ear or use the loudspeaker.

To switch between ear mode and loudspeaker mode:

• Press [Key 2].

To adjust the volume:

• Press the Volume key in the desired direction; if non is available, use [Left] or [Right].

2.3 Answering a call and reading the caller’s identity

When your phone rings, the phone application automatically becomes active. These are your options:

• Answer the call: Press the [Call] key.

• Mute the ringing and have TALKS announce the caller’s identity (if available): Press [Key 2]

(Mute) while the phone is ringing. To repeat this announcement, press [TALKS], [Up].

• Reject the incoming call (at any time): Press [Exit].

2.4 Entering text

If you want to enter text on your phone's numeric keyboard, you can use either of two methods:

• The traditional method, in which you press a number key once, twice, or more to access each

letter that you need

• A predictive method, T9

, in which you press the number key corresponding to each letter only once and the software "guesses" the word that you are writing by matching it to words in a dictionary

Both phones with a QWERTY keyboard and a numeric keypad can offer an extension of T9, called XT9®. In addition to the functions of T9, XT9 offers word completion and correction.

2.4.1 Traditional text input

Several letters are associated with each number key, so in the traditional text-messaging method, you sometimes need to press a key several times to reach the desired letter. For example, to enter the name Charlie, you start by pressing [2] three times. The first time you press the key, the letter a appears; then b appears, and finally, c. Next, you press the [4] key twice to reach the letter h, and so on.

To enter a letter twice:

• Press the key for that letter, pause briefly until the cursor reappears on the screen, and then press

the key a second time.

To enter a digit:

• Press the key for that digit, and hold it down for about a second.

Table 2 shows the number keys that the letters and other characters are associated with. The variants refer to language-specific characters such as letters with accents and diacritical marks.

Table 2

Number key Characters

1 Punctuation characters and symbols

2 a, b , c , 2, variants of a and b

3 d, e , f , 3, variants of d and e

4 g, h , i , 4, variants of i

5 j, k , l , 5, pound sign (# )

6 m, n, o , 6 , variants of n and o

7 p, q , r , s, 7, German "double s", dollar sign ($ )

8 t, u , v , 8, variants of u

9 w, x , y , z, 9, accented y , Icelandic thorn (þ)

0 0, space, new line

Some non-digit keys have special uses:

• [*]: When you press this key in a text field, when using a handset with an [Edit] key, a window

appears with punctuation marks and symbols. Use the navigation keys to scroll to a character, and press [Select] to insert the character into your text. When no [Edit] key is present, this displays a list of most recently used symbols, and you can press the [Down] key to see more options. In this case, a long press of [*] gets you straight to the symbols list.

• [#]: This key has several functions, depending on the way you press it:

 When you press [#] normally, the case switches from upper to lower or vice versa for the

next letters that you enter. The phone application automatically determines which case is appropriate. On phones that do not have an [Edit] key, further presses of [#] cycle through all edit modes, including turning the dictionary on or off, and numeric mode.

 When you press and hold [#] on a phone with an [Edit] key, the entry mode switches

between alphanumeric (letters and numbers) and numeric.

 When you press [#] twice in a rapid succession on a handset with an [Edit] key, the T9

method is activated or deactivated.

Note: When you press [#], TALKS announces the case and the entry mode (alphanumeric or numeric). If the T9 text-entry method is active, TALKS announces “Dictionary.” (You can also press [TALKS], [Long Key 2] to have TALKS read out this information; see section 4.1.5).

2.4.2 Predictive text input—the T9 method

To activate the T9 method:

• On a handset with an [Edit] key, press [#],[#], or press [TALKS], [TALKS] and select

Dictionary on.

• On a handset without the [Edit] key, press and hold [#], until TALKS announces “Dictionary

on”.

With the T9 method, you find the key with the letter that you need and press it only once. As you enter each letter, the software makes comparisons with the words in the dictionary and the display changes; the letters on the screen might be completely unrelated to what you are writing. However, when you finish entering the word, the software displays it on the screen.

Note: You must press a key for every letter in the word; the software does not complete words for you.

If the final word that the software displays is the correct one, you can enter a punctuation mark or start entering the next word.

To enter a punctuation mark:

• For a period, press [1].

• For a punctuation mark other than a period, press [1], [*]. Then press [*] repeatedly until you

reach the punctuation mark that you want.

To correct the final displayed word if it is not what you intended, use one of these methods:

• View other matches from the dictionary: With the cursor on the word, repeatedly press the [*]

key until the word that you want appears. Then select the word.

• View a list of all the dictionary matches: On a phone with an [Edit] key, select [Edit] and

Dictionary. Then select Matches. This option is visible only if there is more than one match. On

handsets that do not have an [Edit] key, you can press [Key 1] (Options) to access the text entry menu, and find this function.

• If none of the suggested matches fits, edit the word with the traditional input method: Press [Key

1] (Spell).

2.4.3 Predictive text input—the XT9 method

XT9 adds word completion and correction to the T9 funtions. This is described based upon the Nokia E71, which has a QWERTY keyboard, where T9 obviously would not make any sense.

To enable or disable predictive text input:

• Press [Fn]+[Space] to display the text input options.

• Select Predictive text, then On or Off.

To change the predictive text settings:

• Press [Fn]+[Space] to display the text input options.

• Select Settings.

The following settings are available:

• Typing correction: When set to Medium, XT9 will correct words based upon similarity. High

will additionally check for the possibility that you have pressed keys that are close to the desired ones. If you set this to Off, no word correction will occur.

• Auto word completion: When this option is turned on, a list of suggested completions will be

displayed after typing a few letters of a word. When it is turned off, you have to type all letters. Wword completion assumes that one can perceive all proposed word completions; thus, it requires a lot of practice to use this feature as a visually challenged person.

• Suggested words: If one of the two options above is enabled, this determines the maximum

number of words that are proposed.

When writing text while XT9 is turned on, the word proposed for the typed number of letters is used by default. You can use the [Down] key to get to the list of proposed alternatives, and select one of them by pressing the [Right] key, or the [Up] key to get to the text that you have just entered, and press [Right] to use this text, and add it to the dictionary.

2.5 Adding an entry to the Contacts directory

1. In the Contacts directory, press [Key 1] (Options) and select New contact.

A contact card opens.

2. Enter the person’s name and at least one phone number.

3. If you want to enter more information—for example, another phone number—press

[Key 1] (Options), select Add detail, and enter the additional information.

4. Press [Key 2] (Done) to save the entry in the Contacts directory.

2.6 Sending a text message

1. Press [Menu], and select Messaging.

2. Press [Select] to select the first option, New Message.

3. Press [Select] to select the short text message option (you can select Multimedia

message or E-mail if preferred).

The Text message window appears.

4. Enter the recipient’s phone number by either of these methods:

• In the To field, key in the phone number.

• Press [Key 1] (Options), select Add recipient, select an entry in the Contacts directory, and

press [Key 1] (OK) to confirm your choice.

5. In the Text message window, press [Down] once to go to the text field, and enter and

edit your message.

6. Press [Call] to send the message.

2.7 Using profiles and changing ring tones

Profiles let you quickly change the way your phone notifies you of incoming calls or messages. Your phone contains a number of predefined profiles—for example, General (the profile in use when you turn on the phone for the first time), Silent, and Meeting. You can associate each profile with a different ring tone, ring volume, and key tone; you can set the vibrating alert as on or off in each profile; and you can change the name of all the profiles except the General profile.

To switch profiles:

• Briefly press the [Power] key, and from the menu, select a profile.

To modify a profile:

1. Press [Menu

], and select Profiles.

2. Select the profile that you want to modify.

3. From the Options menu, select Personalise.

4. Select the property that you want to change.

5. Scroll through the options, and press [Select] to choose an option.

Note: When you select a ring tone, the TALKS announcement of the tone’s name may stop the sounding of the actual ring tone, since today’s phones cannot always play more than one audio channel at once. In this case, you may want to mute speech output by pressing [TALKS], [Clear], before navigating through the list of ring tones. To have TALKS announce the ring tone’s name, press [TALKS], [Up], which interrupts the ring tone to make the announcement. To assign a ring tone to the selected profile, press [Key 1] (Select). To return to the previously selected ring tone, press [Key 2] (Cancel). If speech is muted, you should then press [TALKS], [Clear] again, to unmute speech afterwards.
