Harry,
The steps you describe are not quite right.
If your friend is turning the phone on for the first time, hee needs to
* Turn on the phone by pressing the power button.
* on the start screen, hold two fingers until the phone speaks.
If the phone has already been set up, hee needs to go into Settings >
Accessibility to make sure the Accessibility Shortcut is enabled; then
he needs to
* hold down the power button for about 3 seconds to bring up the
Power-Off screen.
* Then on the power-Off screen, hold two fingers on the screen.
The point is that we don't hold down the power button and hold our
fingers on the screen at the same time.
Hope this helps.
Ciao
