‘‘Pardon,’’ ‘‘Please repeat,’’ or ‘‘Would
you say again.’’ If the system cannot
perf orm a command or the
command is not appropriate f or the
screen you are on, it sounds a beep.
Anytime you are not sure of what
voice commands are available on a
screen, you can always say ‘‘Help’’ at
any screen. The system can then
read the list of commands to you.
