From time to time a message box is displayed on the screen. This may be a warning or an error message, or a question to confirm an action.

Message boxes may have up to 3 buttons (for instance yes, no and cancel). If there is more than one button use the left and right keys to highlight the button you want. In all cases press OK to validate your choice which will then exit the message box.

3.2.6 Using the Virtual Keyboard

It is recommended that you create folders and rename files or folders from your computer when it is connected to the Gmini. The computer keyboard is easier to use. Often times, however, you are not near your computer and you would like to enter the text directly with the Gmini. For this, you will use the virtual keyboard. You will be taken to this screen when you rename a file or folder or when you name a recording.
