Suite
This chapter explains briefly how to use Series 60 phones and describes a few basic operations to help you
start using TALKS on your phone. It is not at all meant as a substitution for the user guide that came with
your phone.

2.1 The keypad

The various Series 60 phones have many of the same keys. Among these are two "soft" keys, which are
located below the display. A soft key varies in function; it performs the function described in the label that
appears above it in the display. In this guide, the left soft key is called [Key 1], and the right soft key is
called [Key 2]. S60 3

function of the [Select] key; TALKS announces this label after the left and right soft keys.
Table 1 briefly describes the functions of common keys on Series 60 phones. Your phone may have
additional special keys and some different features, but the table should give you a useful overview.

Key Description
[Key 1] This key is the left soft key; its function varies according to the label just above
it. [Key 1] often opens an Options list or enables you to select a setting or menu
item. In the phone application, [Key 1] acts as a shortcut for starting one
important application.
When you press [Key 1] and then immediately press [*], the keypad becomes
locked, which TALKS announces. If you press a key while the keypad is locked,
the phone does not respond. To unlock the keypad, press the same sequence:
[Key 1] and then [*].
[Key 2] This key is the right soft key; its function varies according to the label just above
it. [Key 2] often enables you to cancel an action or close an application or
settings window. In the phone application, [Key 2] acts as a shortcut for a
second application.
To call a number by saying its voice tag on handsets that do not have a dedicated
key for this function, press [Key 2] and hold it briefly before releasing it.
[Call] Press this key to dial a phone number that you have entered in the phone by
speaking, using the keypad, or selecting a contact (currently displayed on the
screen). If you don't enter a number, the [Call] key opens a list of your recently
called numbers so that you can select one to call. When you enter an SMS, MMS,
or e-mail message, use this key to send the message.
[Exit] Press this key to terminate a phone call that is in progress. The key also acts as a
shortcut that takes you straight to the phone application.
