Starting up Your Device and using it's Buttons

Starting up Your Device and using it's Buttons

To power the device on:
  • To power the device on, hold the lock button down for about 2 seconds until you feel a small vibration. This vibration indicates that RealSAM Pocket is powering up correctly.
  • After another 40 seconds, the device 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, your device may not be charged. Plug in the device to recharge before trying again.

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.

The lock button can also be used to lock your device, meaning you will be unable to press the talk button. This is useful when you want to avoid accidentally pressing the talk button, for example when putting the device into a pocket or bag. To lock your device hold down the lock button for approximately 3 seconds, your device will then say locked. Once you have locked your device you will be unable to press the talk button, but you will still be able to use the volume buttons. If you want to unlock your device repeat the same process by holding down the lock button for approximately 3 seconds, your device will say unlocked. More information on this function is available in the Locking and unlocking your device section of the user guide.

For more detailed descriptions of all the buttons, check the Describing the handset section of this user guide.
