command or you wait too long to
give a command, it responds with
‘‘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.
Youshouldusethevoicecontrol
system as much as possible, and
consider manual entry using the

be controlled by voice commands
activated with the button. To
control your compass system by
voice:
