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

other than yours, the system may
not interpret your voice
commands correctly.
If you speak a command with
something in your mouth, or your
voice is either too high or too
husky, the system may
misinterpret your voice commands.
