End user notice
Microsoft® Voice Command Version 1.5 for Windows Mobile
IMPORTANT Do not become distracted from driving safely if
operating a motor vehicle while using Device Software.
Operating certain parts of this Device requires user attention.
Diverting attention away from the road while driving can possibly
cause an accident or other serious consequences. Even occasional,
short diversions of attention can be dangerous if your attention is
diverted away from your driving task at a critical time. Do not change
system settings or enter data non-verbally (using your hands) while
driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner before attempting
these operations. This is importan t since while setting up or changing
some functions you might be required to distract your attention away
from the road and remove your hands from the wheel.
Microsoft makes no representations, warranties or other
determinations that ANY use of the Software Product is legal, safe, or
in any manner recommended or intended while driving or otherwise
operating a motor vehicle.
®
General Operation
Voice Command Control: Many of the functions of the Device
Software can be accomplished using only voice commands. Using
voice commands while driving allows you to initiate the command
with a button and then operate the Device mostly without removing
your hands from the wheel. Note: Voice Command not available in all
locations.
Prolonged Views of Screen: If you are driving, do not access any
function requiring a prolonged view of the screen. Pull over in a safe
and legal manner before attempting to access a function of the
system requiring prolonged attention. Even occasional short scans to
the screen may be hazardous if your attention has been diverted
away from your driving task at a critical time.
Volume Setting: Do not raise the volume excessively. Keep the
volume at a level where you can still hear outside traffic and
emergency signals while driving. Driving while unable to hear these
sounds could cause an accident.
Let Your Judgment Prevail: The Device Software is only an aid.
Make your driving decisions based on your observations of local
conditions and existing traffic regulations. The Device Software is not
a substitute for your personal judgment.
Use of Speech Recognition Functions: Speech recognition
software is inherently a statistical process w hich is subject to errors.
It is your responsibility to monitor the speech recognition functions
and address any errors.

Moving around on your smartphone
Have you ever been to a new city and felt a bit lost until you
figured out the streets? Learning to move around on your
smartphone is similar. Most applications that work on your
smartphone use the same set of controls. So once you learn
how to use these controls, you’ll be driving all over town and
you won’t even need a map.
Benefits
• Quickly move around and
complete tasks in applications
using one thumb on the 5-way
navigator
• Access extra features with menus
• Find and open applications quickly.
