# Menu and Physical Buttons

Similar to a mobile phone, swiping down with a finger from the top of the screen will reveal a Menu. The Menu has the following options:

* Close Menu Button - exits the Menu and return to the Home Screen
* Microphone Button - enters a Microphone diagnostic mode for troubleshooting or development
* About Button - contains more information about the software
* Restart - restarts the Mark II
* Turn off - shuts the Mark II down, after which it can be unplugged
* Volume Slider - Adjusts the volume of the speaker, 1-10
* Brightness Slider - Adjusts the brightness of the screen<br>

The Mark II has a set of physical buttons on the top:

* \- Volume Down Button - located on the left side, for lowering the volume
* \+ Volume Up Button - located in the middle, for raising the volume
* Microphone Mute Switch - a physical disconnect switch for turning off the mic. The LEDs will illuminate red when the mic is disabled.
* Action Button - The large center button in the middle of the top can be used instead of saying the wakeword. Just push the button and say a command, no “Hey Mycroft” needed.

Camera Shutter: Above the display is a shutter that can be slid in place over the Camera for privacy

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://mycroft-ai.gitbook.io/mark-ii/menu-and-physical-buttons.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
