2.4 Setting up your Cybook Orizon

Performing initial startup

Initial startup includes connecting to power and charging the battery,

switching on and off the Cybook Orizon.

Connecting to power and charging the battery

The Cybook Orizon has an internal rechargeable Li-Polymer battery. It allows
a large battery lifetime (around 10,000 pages turned or two weeks of average
reading). You could check the status of the charge in the interface thanks to
the status bar. When the battery is empty the status LED flashes when
starting the device. It can happen that there is not enough battery to let the
LED flash. Before the first use, you must charge completly the battery.

If you have a USB power adapter, plug it into a wall AC power outlet

•
and connect the appropriate end of the USB cable to the AC adapter.
If you have no USB power adapter, connect the appropriate end of the

•
USB cable to your computer USB connector.
Connect the other end of the USB cable to the bottom of your Cybook

•
Orizon.

Charging time

3 hours : 85%•
5 hours : 100%•

While charging the Cybook Orizon right LED indicator emits a red light. When
the battery is fully charged, charging stops automatically (the battery will not
overcharge).

Caution: When you are charging the device you can't use it. An image can remain on
the screen even if the battery is completely discharged (see below for further
instruction).

3. Basic Skills

This chapter familiarizes you with the basic operations of your Cybook Orizon
such as discovering the ePaper screen, using the touchscreen, using the
buttons, understanding contextual menu and connection principles.

3.1 The ePaper Screen

The Cybook shows an outstanding black and white screen, utilizing a
breakthrough technology: the ePaper Display (by SiPix®). The screen acts
like a paper page made of tiny ink particles which can migrate and modify the
layout of your screen in a second. A SiPix Display achieves ultra-low power
consumption in a thin, light form. This display technology can maintain an
image without any power consumption. Once the image is written, it will
remain indefinitely without consuming any additional power. The SiPix Display
technology is thus energy efficient and drastically reduces power
consumption. Due to its innovative technology, when the screen switches
from an image to another one, the screen goes through a clearing process
which causes a black to white transition.

Note: Image can remain on screen even with an empty battery. So be cautious, don't
forget to refill your battery first when your device doesn't operate anymore.

3.2 Touchscreen interface

Cybook Orizon touchscreen is based on a capacitive technology:

Only fingers or dedicated stylus can work with this touchscreen.•
Screen is very sensitive and you don't need to strongly press on the

•
screen to make it works.
In fact the screen is so sensitive than it can react even if your touch is

•
very light.

Cybook Orizon touch interface follows some simple intuitive rules described

below.

Taping: You can select or validate a choice by simply touching the screen
with your fingertip. As said before, you don't need to strike the screen but
only to touch it lightly.

Swiping Right to Left: Used to turn pages forward in the library, in a book
or a document, to pan to the right inside zoomed PDF or Images, to scroll
forward a menu.

Swiping Left to Right: Used to turn pages backward in the library, in a
book or a document, to pan to the left inside zoomed PDF or Images, to scroll
backward a menu.

Swiping Up Down: Used to scroll down menus, to pan down images or PDF
files.

Swiping Down Up: Used to scroll up menus, to pan up images or PDF files
but also to get backward in the navigation history and to climb up one

folder level.

Swiping Diagonally: Used to pan images or PDF files diagionally, or to turn

forward or backward pages.

Zoom In: Pinch out gesture with two fingers is used to zoom in a document
or an image, to increase font size or decrease the number of books per page
in the library view.

Zoom out: Pinch gesture with two fingers is used to zoom out a document
or an image, to decrease font size or increase the number of books per page
in the library view.

The navigation control

The navigation button is a 5-way control buttons (left, right, up, down) plus
a central validation key. The navigation button is used to turn pages (right,
left) to move a selection on the screen (up, down, right, left) and to validate
a selection or call a contextual menu. Most of the actions can be done with
this navigation button.
