Orientation
This section will assume that you have the phone laid flat on a table with the buttons
closest to you. Out of the box the phone is in the closed position.
Front
When closed, the front face of the phone has five buttons underneath the screen. On
the left is the square green
Call Button
, on the right is the round red
End/Cancel
button
. Between these buttons are the
up/down navigation
arrows. Between the
navigation arrows is the small rectangular blue
OK button.
There is Braille underneath call and end buttons, however it is too small to be useful.
Directly above the screen in the centre is the
earpiece
.
To open the phone and reveal the keypad, slide the top half of the phone away from
you to reveal the keypad. The number keypad is laid out in the standard four rows of
three buttons with the first row containing
one, two and three
. The second row has
four, five and six
. Third row,
seven, eight and nine
and the last row has
star, zero
and
pound
(the phone refers to the pound button as a “hash”).
Place the phone into the closed position by simply sliding the top section of the phone
back down over the keypad.
Right Edge
There are three buttons on this edge. From top to bottom they are the following:
repeat speech button
and then the
volume rocker button
s with up at the top and
down underneath.
These rocker buttons adjust the volume of the speech when not in a call and the
earpiece volume when in a call.
Please note:
if you turn the speech to its minimum volume the speech features are
essentially turned off and ODIN VI will no longer speak.
Left Edge
On the left edge, near the top of the phone is a small round hole which is the
earpiece
socket
. Below this socket, about midway down this edge, under a small plastic flap is
a
USB socket
. This can be used for charging, although most people will find it easier
to use the charging stand.
Bottom Edge
On the bottom edge are two small rectangular recesses. In the centre of each recess
is a metal contact, which is used to charge the phone in conjunction with the charging
stand.
