To listen to a book you can say read me a book, from here you will be given a list of book sources to choose from, and then a list of available books for you to browse. You can also search for books by saying something like Find books by Louisa May Alcott or Find books with title Little Women.

Similarly you could say List podcasts or which magazines do you have?, or you could ask to Listen to radio to browse through all the available podcasts, magazines and radio stations available to you.

You could also try using your device to make a call by saying something like Call 0 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. While in the call you can use the touch screen to turn speaker mode on or off, and you can press the lock button to hang up the call.

You can also ask Pocket other questions such as what is the time? or What is the weather in London?.

Pocket also has a screen lock function, which allows you to lock and unlock your device. When your device is locked you will be unable to press the talk buttons, this can be helpful when you want to avoid inadvertently pressing the talk button. To lock your device, hold down the lock button for approximately 3 seconds, after which Pocket will say locked. To unlock your device, repeat the same process by holding down the lock button for a few seconds, your device will tell you that it is unlocked. More information on this function is available in the Locking and unlocking your device section of the user guide
If you press the talk button and Pocket does not respond, it could be because your device is locked. To check if this is the case, try to lock and unlock your device.
