Turning the Phone On and Off
To turn the phone on, press and hold the round red End button until you hear an old
fashioned ring letting you know that the phone is starting the activation process. After
this ring, you can release the red End button. Approximately fifteen seconds after you
hear the ring, ODIN VI will begin to speak. You can skip the introduction and head
straight to the home screen by pressing the same End button.
When the phone is in the closed position, the keypad lock is automatically activated.
You can unlock the keypad by pressing the square green call button followed quickly
by the round red End button. Alternatively, simply slide open the phone to show the
keypad. If the phone is in its closed position and the keypad is locked, the phone will
not announce this.
To turn off the phone, ensure the keypad lock is not active and that you are at the
home screen. Press the round red End button. ODIN VI will ask you if you would like
to switch off your phone. Press the blue OK button to confirm or the round red End
button to cancel.
The first time you turn on your phone, it will ask you to set the time and date. First you
will need to enter the date. It is arranged in the format day, month and year. ODIN VI
will read out the date to which it is currently set. Use the number keypad to type the
current date. ODIN VI will repeat it back to you, and then press OK to move onto the
month. Type the month and press OK, then type the year and press OK. Note that
you must type the full year. For example, 2014. ODIN VI will then read back the full
date you have just set then ask you to enter the time. Follow the same process to
enter the time. Note that you can also adjust the time and date using the navigation
keys, rather than the typing your entries with the keypad. You can adjust the time and
date at any time.
Making a Call
When at the home screen, you can make a call simply by typing in the number using
the keypad and pressing the square green call button. Press the round red End button
to delete any incorrect button presses. You do not need to wait for ODIN VI to read
out each number. If you type faster than it speaks, however, it will not read out every
number. Press the repeat speech button on the right edge of the phone at any time to
hear the numbers you have typed. The number you are dialling will also be repeated
once you press the call button.
To hang-up a call, simply press the round End button.
Please note:
when you type numbers quickly into ODIN VI, it may not read every
number, however it will have registered the number. After you have typed a number,
you can check if it is correct by pressing the repeat speech button on the right edge of
the phone.
