Command InputIf the system does not understand a command or you wait too long to give a command, it responds with “Pardon,” “Please repeat,” or “Would you say again.” When you give a command, the system ge
nerally either repeats the command as a
confirmation or asks you for further informa
tion. If you do not wish to hear this
feedback, you can turn it off. However, list

king for input that
cannot be performed using the voice control system.On character input screens, a list of possi
ble characters is displayed if the system
