Appendix A: TALKS function-key quick reference

lists all the key sequences that are assigned to TALKS functions. Note that to start each key sequence, you press [TALKS], which by default is the [Edit] , [Menu], or [Chr] key of your S60 phone. Long means holding down a key for about a second before releasing it.

Additional quick keys are available when a web page is displayed by the Web browser, and that page is read by TALKS. These keys are described in section .
