Paul, there are two ways to switch off. If you press the on/off button and hold it down for three or more seconds, the phone will switch off. Alternatively, if you press the on/off button and immediately release it, you hear Power, Switch off, one of eight. This is the Power Menu, and, rather annoyingly, it does not feature in the Help File. The other items on the Power menu are Lock Keypad General Silent (I haven't tried this because I don't know what it would do to talks) Meeting (which probably means the phone doesn't ring but maybe vibrates or flashes) Outdoor (could this mean Louder?) Pager and Lock Phone. If anybody can fill in the details on these options, it might be helpful to many of us. Meanwhile, Paul, I suggest you might check whether the phone is on or off just by moving the joystick. Talks usually says "Screen Saver" if the phone is still switched on.

My query is withregards to switching the phone on and off. On switch on, I will usually hear Talx saying "pin code window text". I then enter the pin code and am told that the code is accepted and hear the opening jingle. Sometimes when I switch my phone on, it can take longer than 30 seconds to activate and also before it does, I sometimes get the beep which you would hear should you enter an incorrect code. Following a silence, I then get the usual opening message as above. Now when I go to switch off my phone, Talx will usually say "power" and then I get a high pitch beep. On a number of occasions though I will hear Talx saying something like Switch off. Also it has been known for me to switch on my phone only to discover that it didn't go off the previous night and also it is still locked. I wondered whether anyone can please shed any light on the above queries as I would like to try and sort this out as it can get a bit annoying at times. Hope you can help. Regards Paul.
