Describing the Handset

Please hold the device in your hand with the screen side facing toward you, and the lanyard near the top.

The front of your device

When the device is in use the screen displays some status information. You do not need to see the screen, and if you touch the screen it will not affect the functioning of the device. The screen can be used to connect your In Your Pocket device to a Wifi network, and this will be explained in detail further on in the User Guide.

On the front of the device, below the screen, are three flat buttons.

These are the Talk Buttons and are the main buttons to use when interacting with Pocket. All of the buttons perform the same function, so it does not matter which one you press. To operate In Your Pocket, click one of these buttons once, and when you hear the rising tone, ask for what you want. When you hear the falling tone and a tick tock sound, you will know that Pocket is collecting the information you asked for and will bring it to you soon.

The top edge of your device

Now, describing the top surface of the In Your Pocket device, on the left of this surface, there is a head set port. This is where you can connect your head set or head phones to listen with more privacy. When the head set is connected, you can use the button on the head set as the talk button, and communicate with Pocket through the microphone on the head set.

The left edge of your device

Near the top of the left surface is the assistance button. Click this button three times to SMS and call your assistance contacts. This will let them know your current location.

Just below the assistance button is the volume bar. You can press the top of this bar to turn the volume up, similarly you can press the bottom of this bar to turn the volume down. Near the top of the left edge is an unused orange button

Just below the orange button is the volume bar. You can press the top of this bar to turn the volume up, similarly you can press the bottom of this bar to turn the volume down.

The right edge of your device

Near the top on the right surface of the In Your Pocket device is the Power Button. To power the device on, hold the power button down until you feel a small vibration, which should occur in around 2 seconds. This vibration indicates that Pocket is powering up correctly, and after another 40 seconds or so, Pocket 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, then the battery may be flat, so plug the device in to recharge before trying again.

To power off, hold the power button down. You can also power off by pressing the talk button and saying, power off. Pocket will announce that it is powering off and you will hear some beeps. Press the talk button during the beeps if you change your mind and do not want to power off the device.

Also on the right hand surface of the device, just above the power button, there are 3 small slits. This is the where the speaker is located, and is where you will hear Pocket speaking when there is no head set connected.

The bottom edge of your device

In the middle of the bottom surface of the In Your Pocket device is the power charging port, where you connect your charging cable to recharge In Your Pocket.

There is a microphone located just below these three buttons, on the bottom surface of the device. This is where Pocket listens to you when there is no head set connected. So, try not to cover this up, and hold this closer to your mouth if Pocket is having trouble understanding you.

The back of your device

In the middle near the top you will notice a small, round, glass component. This is the camera lens ,which is used by In Your Pocket for the Be My Eyes function. You can find out more about Be My Eyes in the user guide .
