Product Description
Front panel
The front cover of the MiniVision2 is separated into two distinct parts:
On the top, a 2.3-inch display allows you to view the contents of the phone. The brightness of the
display, text size, and contrast can be changed in the « Display ». section of the phone's settings.
Above the display, a speaker is located that is used during calls.
On the lower part of the MiniVision2, below the display, you will find a physical keypad. This
physical keypad is split into two parts:
The first part is the navigation and control panels allowing you to navigate into the menu system,
manage the volume and launch certain actions.
The navigation and control panels are composed as follows:
A rounded rectangle-shaped OK button with textured surface is located at the center of the panel.
Around the OK button, on each side there are clickable navigation buttons that allow to perform an
action. In the rest of the document, we will use the terms: Up, Down, Left, Right buttons to
specify the use of the navigation buttons. The central rectangle-shaped button, called OK allows to
confirm the selected element.
Description of the navigation button actions:
• Up: selects the previous item
• Down: selects the next item
• Left: decreases the volume
• Right: increases the volume
• OK: validate the selected item
For more information, please consult the section « Getting Started ».
Good to know: A long press on the OK button activates the voice recognition of the product. This
allows you to:
• Launch actions by voice from the Home screen or from the list of applications (keywords).
• Dictate text in an input box.
An internet connection is required to use voice recognition (Wi-Fi or 3G / 4G via your wireless
provider - requires inserted SIM card and a wireless subscription that includes a data plan).
For more information, please refer to the « Use voice commands » and « Write with voice
recognition » sections of the user manual.
To the left of the navigation section are located Menu and Call buttons, respectively one above
the other.
• Menu button of rectangular shape and symbolized by a square, displays additional options
related to the application or screen currently displayed. This usually allows access to
feature settings or additional options such as: validate, send, cancel, delete, edit, etc.
Call button symbolized by three vertical and tactile green dots, accepts an incoming call or
accesses the phone features directly from any screen. It opens call history with a long press. To

the right of the OK button are located Back and End call buttons, respectively one above the
other and separated by a horizontal bar.

previous screen or deletes a character in an edit box.
• End call button symbolized by three horizontal and tactile red dots, hangs up the current
call, refuses a call, returns to the home screen or allows you to exit from the standby mode
with a short press. It turns the MiniVision2 on or off with a long press.

Unlock your SIM card with the provided PIN code
Your SIM card is sometimes provided with a 4-digit identification code called PIN. This code locks

of the SIM card is requested. To unlock the SIM card and access all your MiniVision2 functions,

Getting Started
The User interface basics
The MiniVision2 interface has been developed to ensure ease of use:
• All items visible on the MiniVision2 screen are arranged in a list format to provide you with a
simple and linear navigation
• Each information is displayed on one line
• Long texts exceeding the screen width, automatically scroll horizontally
• By default, the text displayed on the screen is written in white on a black background
• When you use the Up and Down buttons to navigate the phone menu system, the selected
item is displayed in inverted color
• When opening a new screen, MiniVision2 selects the first item in the list
• When you go back to a previously opened screen, MiniVision2 returns to the last selected
item
• When you reach the beginning or the end of a list, a beep follows the vocalization of the
selected item
• To reassure you and confirm that an action has been done, a message of confirmation or
information could be displayed on the screen via a drop-down banner (this message is also
vocalized if the "screen reader" option is enabled). To dismiss this message, simply press
on any key and continue using the phone.
Navigate through the menu system of MiniVision2
Here are the different buttons allowing you to navigate the MiniVision2 menu system:
The Up button selects the previous item in the list.
The Down button selects the next item in the list.
The OK button confirms your choice and validates the element that is selected.
Validating an item usually has the effect of displaying a new screen.
The Back button is used to return to one screen back (in the event of an error for example).
The Menu button is used to access the options of the displayed screen.
The End call button returns to the home screen.
If you are already on the home screen, this will put the phone in sleep mode.
Good to know: a long press on the Up button selects the first item in the list and a long press on
the Down button selects the last item in the list.
The description of all button functions is summarized in the section « Index – Navigation panel
keys».
Change the audio volume of MiniVision2

different volumes as follows:
• General volume - 15 levels: volume of vocalization and FM radio
• Alarm volume - 7 levels: volume of the alarm tones
• Ringtone volume - 7 levels: volume of the phone ringtones
Once the volume control panel is opened, use the Up and Down buttons to select the volume you
want to change. By default, the "General Volume" is selected. Then use the Left button to
decrease the level of the selected volume or the Right button to increase it.
The volume adjustment screen closes automatically after 5 seconds of inactivity. You can close
this screen at any time by pressing the OK button or the Back button.
Good to know: the volume of communication is independent. It is set directly during the call using
Left or Right buttons.
MiniVision2 – User Manual – 2021-01 – US_ENG
Page 13 / 77
Good to know: The level 0 of the ringtone volume corresponds to the "Silent" mode (vibrator and
ringtone disabled). MiniVision2 has also dedicated key shortcuts to mute / unmute directly the
ringtone (for more details refer to chapter ‘Accessibility shortcuts’).
Use voice commands
MiniVision2's voice recognition allows you to launch certain actions via predefined keywords
embedded in the product.
This service requires an internet connection (Wi-Fi or 3G / 4G via your wireless provider - requires
inserted SIM card and a wireless subscription that includes a data plan). If you are not connected
to a data network or if the data rate is insufficient, the service will be inoperative and MiniVision2
will inform you with a message on the "No data connection" screen.

applications. Once the beep has sounded, clearly say one of the following keywords:

Write with voice recognition
In addition to voice commands, MiniVision2's voice recognition feature also allows you to write text
in an edit box with your voice.
This service also requires an internet connection (Wi-Fi or 3G / 4G via your wireless provider
subscription). If you are not connected to a data network or if the data rate is insufficient, the
service will be inoperative and MiniVision2 will inform you with a message on the "No data
connection" screen.
To write with voice recognition, press and hold the OK button in an edit box until you hear a beep.
Once you hear the beep, speak your text clearly. Voice recognition stops as soon as you stop
talking (or if you take a long break). After a while, the recognized text will be inserted into the edit
box and vocalized. If you want to make corrections, you can also edit the text with the physical
keypad as seen previously.
Here are some recommendations to use the voice recognition to write text:
• Wait for the end of the beep to start dictating your text.
• A quiet environment will improve the result of speech recognition.
• You can use the voice recognition as much as you want within the edit box and it will
concatenate resulting texts.
• You can add punctuation to the voice (“,” “?” “!” etc.), to do this you need to vocally.
pronounce the desired punctuation. Example: "Do you want to eat Sunday at home
question mark".

long sentences than with small groups of words.
