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 nonverbally (using your hands) while
driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner before attempting
these operations. This is important 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.
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 which is subject to errors.
It is your responsibility to monitor the speech recognition functions
and address any errors.

Maximizing battery life
Battery life depends on how you use your
smartphone. You can maximize your
smartphone’s battery life by following a few
easy guidelines:
• Charge your smartphone whenever
you’re at your desk, or charge
it overnight each day. The battery in your
smartphone has a much longer useful
life when it is topped off frequently,
versus charging it after it is fully drained.
• 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
(phone, email, messaging, and web)
generally consume more power than
the organizer features. If you don’t plan
to use the wireless features on your
smartphone for a while, turn off your
wireless services (see T
urning wireless
services on/off). You can forward calls
to a different number or let all calls be
picked up by voicemail (see Forwarding
calls). To see if other wireless services,
such as Bluetooth
®
wireless technology,
are on, tap the phone-off icon, and
then select Wireless Manager.
• Turn off your smartphone’s Bluetooth
feature when you do not need to make
a Bluetooth connection.
An exclamation point (
!) indicates
that the battery needs to be charged
immediately.
DID YOU KNOW
?
Tapping the battery icon opens
a window showing a percentage level of
charge left in the battery.
DID YOU KNOW

If your battery ever becomes
fully drained, your info is stored safely on your
smartphone until you recharge the battery or
connect your smartphone to a power source.

• As with any mobile phone, if your phone
is turned on while you are in an area
with no wireless coverage, your
smartphone continues to search for a
signal, and that consumes power. If you
cannot move to an area with better
coverage, temporarily turn off your
phone (see Turning your smartphone
on/off).
• Turn down the screen brightness
(see A
djusting the brightness).
• Set your screen to turn off automatically
after a shorter period of inactivity (see
V
iewing and optimizing power settings).
• Keep your battery away from direct
sunlight and other sources of heat.
Temperatures over 120 degrees
Farenheit (50 degrees Celsius) can
permanently reduce the capacity and
life span of any lithium-ion battery.
• Limit use of Microsoft
®
Voice Command
software when it is not needed.

Moving around on your
smartphone
Have you ever been to a new city and felt a bit lost until you
figured out that the numbered streets run north/south and the
avenues run east/west? 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

Navigating around
the screen
To move around the Palm® Tre o™ 700wx
smartphone screen, you can use the 5-way
navigator or you can tap items on the
screen with the stylus. As you become
familiar with your smartphone, you’ll find
your own favorite way to scroll, highlight,
and select items.
The 5-way includes the Right , Left ,
Up , Down , and Center buttons.
Scrolling through screens
As on a computer, on your smartphone you
scroll to move from field to field or page to
page, or in some cases to highlight an item
or option in a list. There are several
methods of scrolling:
• Use the 5-way on the front of your
smartphone. Press Right , Left ,
TIP
Some third-party applications may not
work with the 5-way navigator, and you must
use the stylus instead.

Closing screens
To accept the information you entered on a
screen and to return to the previous
screen, do one of the following:
• Press OK .
• Use the stylus to tap or in the
upper-right corner of the screen.
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: This rectangular border highlights
items such as an onscreen button (for
example, 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.
After highlighting an item with the 5-way,
you can select or activate it by pressing
Center or by tapping the item with the
stylus.
Highlighting text
You can use the 5-way or the stylus to
highlight text on the screen:
5-way: Press and hold Shift while
pressing Right , Left , Up , or Down
to extend the highlight in that direction.
TIP
The best way to learn to use the 5-way is
to experiment. Press the 5-way buttons and
as you do, follow the movement of the border
around the screen. The behavior of the 5-way
varies slightly in each application.

Stylus: Tap and drag the stylus across the
text you want to highlight. To highlight a
word, double-tap it. To highlight a
paragraph, triple-tap it.
Using the action keys
The left and right action keys give you quick
access to tasks that you can do on the
current screen, so the action key items
vary from application to application and
from screen to screen. Look on the screen
directly above the action key to see the
action that it does in the current context. In
some contexts, these keys may do nothing
at all. In most cases the right action key
opens the menu, and the left action
key activates a specific command,
such as New or Edit. Remember that
action key functions vary from screen to
screen, so be sure to check the onscreen
label before pressing the action keys.
TIP
When text is highlighted, you can press
Backspace to delete the highlighted text.

Understanding the keyboard backlight
Your smartphone includes a keyboard
backlight for low light conditions. The
keyboard backlight is activated
automatically when you turn on the screen.
The backlight turns off automatically when
the screen turns off or when you are on a
call or you are playing music in the
background for longer than the time
specified in Backlight Settings. You can set
different time intervals depending on
whether the smartphone is operating on
battery power or is connected to an
external power source. The backlight also
turns off when an application’s
