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.

Highlighting and selecting items

On most screens, one item—a button, a list entry, or a check box—is highlighted by default. The highlight identifies which item is affected by your next action. Use the 5-way to move the highlight from one item to another before opening or selecting it.

The highlight can take one of two forms, depending on what is highlighted:

• Border glow: This rectangular border

highlights items such as an onscreen button (such as OK, Dismiss, or Hide), a check box, an option, or a web link.

• Reverse type (light text on a dark

background): This highlights items such as a phone number, an email address, text, or an item in a list.

with a sufficient charge to complete the setup process and activate your phone. After activation, we recommend charging your smartphone for 3.5 hours (or until the indicator light is solid green) to give it a full charge.

Battery life depends on individual usage. When used as a smartphone, your smartphone battery provides up to 4.7 hours of talk time or up to 15 days of standby time.

Maximizing battery life

You can increase your smartphone’s battery life by following a few easy guidelines. Remember that battery life depends on how you use your smartphone.

• Charge your smartphone whenever

• If you spend a lot of time using the

camera, games, media players, eBooks, or other applications, keep an eye on the battery icon and charge when necessary.

• Your smartphone’s wireless features

• Turn off your smartphone’s Bluetooth

• As with any wireless phone, if you are in

• Turn down the screen brightness (see

For EMERGENCY calls, always remove the card from your smartphone to ensure optimal connectivity.
