Menu and Physical Buttons

Outside of voice interaction, the Mark II features some physical buttons and a GUI for some features and settings.

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

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
