Google's page has a lot of links, and you might want to jump over the links to the text field 
to enter your search term. For the first visit, it can be helpful to step through all the links  
using NT or , so you can find the number of the text box; at the time of writing it  
is Link 23, but this could change. 
When you have reached the text field, enter the search string into the text field and press  
Enter to complete. Now use NT or  to move to the Search button and press SC 
to activate the search button and perform the search.
When the next page loads, it is the Google search results; all the beginning links are as 
they were for the previous Google page, so to find the beginning of the search results you 
will need to move to at least link 25, possibly link 30, and begin using  or NT to 
find the first result. Each result can have as many as five links associated with it,  so you 
will need to read the full result text including links before deciding which one you wish to 
follow.  As you become more  accustomed  to different  search engines and their  results 
pages, you will generally be able to jump immediately to the results using the Number 
Keypad.

Reading Email with the Integrated Keyboard

Once your email settings have been entered with the external keyboard, you can read, 
navigate, delete and save emails with the integrated front panel keyboard. 

Downloading email

Press   F1  to  enter   the  Email  menu,   and   then  F1  once  more   to   go   to   "check   for   new 
messages".   Press   F2   to   confirm.   Auto-Lektor   will   tell   you   in   percentages   how   the 
downloading   is   going,   and   say  "downloading   finished"   when   all   messages   have   been 
received. If there are no messages on the server, Auto-Lektor will tell you that.

Caution!

  Emails that are downloaded are deleted from your email server, so make sure 

you save any that you want to keep; read further in this section to find out how to do this.

Reading through emails

To read the downloaded messages, press SC, and Auto-Lektor will begin reading from the 
top of the first message. 
To step from one message to the next for a quick check of the message subjects and the  
number of messages, press PA to enter Pause Mode, and then use PT and NT. You will 
step from message to message, and at each message Auto-Lektor will first announce 
whether you have read the message or not by saying "Status: read" or "Status: unread"; 
then you will hear the subject line and the sender's email address. When you reach the 
message you want to read, you can press PA to resume reading from that message.   
Email messages are sorted in order of arrival, with the oldest messages at the end of the 
buffer and the newest messages at the start. Sent messages are also kept in the buffer, in  
date order among the received messages; you will recognise them because Auto-Lektor 
will say, after the Status: read message, "sent by Auto-Lektor". 

Deleting unwanted emails

First you must select the message you want to delete. In Pause Mode, Use NT and PT to 
step  through  the  messages.  The   status,   sender  and  subject   of  each  message  will  be 
spoken. When you reach the message you want to delete, press F1 to enter the Email 
Menu, then F1 again to step through until you hear "delete selected message". Press F2 to 
confirm. Auto-Lektor will say "selected email message has been deleted".
