In the Toolbox, press the SPEECH ON/OFF key to toggle between having the Speech On or Off. Check the Status Area. When Speech is On, the green LED next to Speech is lit.

Find the white SPEAKER VOLUME UP and SPEAKER VOLUME DOWN keys in the Toolbox.
Press the SPEAKER VOLUME DOWN key.
Look at the Status Display Area. As you press the SPEAKER VOLUME DOWN key, the lines in the graph next to the picture of a speaker disappear. The fewer lines there are in the graph, the lower the volume of the speaker.
Now press SPEAKER VOLUME UP. The lines return to fill up the graph.
You can test the volume by pressing on the Text Display Area. Your device will speak any text that is in the Text Display Area and you can adjust the volume to your preference.
Adjust the volume for an external speaker in the FEEDBACK MENU.
Adjust the volume for headphones in the FEEDBACK MENU (Earphone Volume).
Change the Scan Beep or Activation Beep volume in the FEEDBACK MENU.
If you would like to be able to turn the device off yourself but can’t press the ON/OFF key 
on the front of the case , you can go to the Toolbox and select
POWER OFF. You can also store the POWER OFF Tool under a key or, if your MAP allows, an icon sequence.
Select this key to clear any text from your Text Display Area.
When you select this key in the Toolbox, your device will return you to whatever you were working on before you entered the Toolbox.
SPECIAL SINGLE FUNCTION KEYS:
Depending on the MAP you are using, this key will take you to your CORE or to your HOME Spelling Keyboard.
Depending on the MAP you are using, when you select GO TO SPELL your device will take you to the Spelling page for the MAP you are using or to your Spelling Keyboard.
The calculator works just like many other calculators on the market. You have the choice of using either a regular calculator or the scientific calculator for more advanced/technical problem-solving.
There will probably be times when you will need to get someone's attention for assistance. The CALL tool is just for this purpose.
When you select CALL, your device plays a series of tones that are designed to get someone's attention. The beeps are not like any other beeps the device makes when it is in regular use. The tones do not signify “emergency” but they do indicate a need for assistance.
IMPORTANT: The CALL tool is designed to bring you assistance and should only be used for that purpose. Overusing CALL lessens the importance of the beeps to those who hear them.
Your device also has an ALARM tool. The ALARM is loud, disruptive and startling and is designed to bring you immediate help. It is not pre-stored on any Pages, but is an insertable tool that can be added to a key on a Page.
If you plan to store the alarm on any Pages, take care to place it where it cannot be easily activated by accident.
IMPORTANT: Because the ALARM is designed to bring you help immediately, it should be used only in emergencies and should never be used as a joke.
