Your Pocket package comes with a charger plug and cord

On one end of the cord is a small, rectangular, USB plug, which connects to a port on the bottom edge of the RealSAM Pocket device. On the other end of the cable, there is a larger rectangular metal USB plus which fits into the charger plug. The charger plug plugs into an ordinary power outlet.

Both the charger and the cord can be replaced with the latest standard android equipment.

Powering On and Off

To power Pocket on:

• Hold the lock button down for about 2 seconds and release it.
• Wait until you feel a vibration, which should occur in around 2 seconds. This vibration indicates that Pocket is powering on correctly.
• After another 40 seconds or so, Pocket will announce that it is ready to speak with you.
• If you do not feel the vibration within 10 seconds, then try the sequence again. If you still get no response, then the battery may be flat, so try plugging the device in to recharge before trying again.

When Pocket is powered on it will introduce itself and tell you how to access the user guide.

To power off, press the talk button and say power off. Pocket will ask you to confirm that you want to power off. To power off press the talk button, or to cancel press the volume up button.

You can also toggle on and off confirmations for power off. Having power off confirmations on means that when you try to power off your device, Pocket will tell you that you have requested a power off, and ask you to confirm by pressing the talk button, or to cancel by pressing the volume up button. Turning off power off confirmations means that when you ask Pocket to power off, Pocket will announce that it is powering off and it will play some beeps. You can press the talk button during the beeps to cancel the power off sequence.
To turn this feature on or off, use the touchscreen menu to navigate to settings, then find the power off behaviour setting. Your device will read out your current power off behaviour, and if you would like to change it to another behaviour lift your finger off the screen to select it.

Battery level

To check the Battery, say What is the battery level or Check battery level or Battery.

Pocket will also announce the battery level when you disconnect it from a charger, or when the battery is running low.

Managing Power Use

You generally do not need to view the devices screen at all to interact with it. Therefore, you may wish to dim it to preserve battery life. In this case, you can change the screen brightness by saying, screen very dim or screen dim. To return it to brightness, say screen bright or screen very bright.

If you have been using your devices bluetooth capabilities, you may want to turn this off to preserve battery. This can be done by saying disable bluetooth

Pocket can be left on a charger all day long.
