Page 2: General Description
Scroll through your contact list and hear the names read out, open a text message and ODIN VI will read it to you. Writing text messages is just as easy. As you type, each letter is read aloud. The ODIN VI has a simple menu and colour coded buttons.

Page 4: Back
There are several shortcuts to hear the read out on-screen information. To hear the battery level, go to the home screen (ODIN VI will say "ODIN is ready"), type star, pound, zero, one, pound. Remember that the phone refers to the pound button as hash.

Page 11: Sending A Text Message - Write Message
Messages are arranged in a list by date received. If the person who sent you the message is in your contacts, the phone will speak the sender’s name. If not, the ODIN VI will speak the sender’s phone number. Either way, the phone will also speak the date that the message was sent.
