2.4 Setting up your Bookeen Diva HD e-reader

INITIAL START-UP

The initial start-up involves plugging in the Bookeen Diva HD e-reader, charging the battery, and switching the Bookeen Diva HD e-reader on and off.

Plugging in the e-reader and charging the battery

The Bookeen Diva HD e-reader comes with an internal rechargeable Li-Polymer battery which gives it a very long battery life (battery life that can last for weeks); however, the use of Wi-Fi may shorten this duration. Before using your device for the first time, you will need to fully

charge the battery.

If you have a power adaptor, plug it into an outlet and connect the USB connector of the cable to the adaptor.

If you do not have a power adaptor, connect the USB connector of the cable to the USB port on your computer.

Connect the other end of the cable to the bottom of your Bookeen Diva HD e-reader.

Charging time

3 hours: 85%

5 hours: 100%

During charging, the light emitting diode (LED) on the Bookeen Diva HD e-reader emits white light. When the battery is fully charged, the LED flickers and the charging stops automatically (there is no risk of overheating).

Warning: An image may continue to appear on the screen of your Bookeen Diva HD e-reader even if the battery is completely discharged.

You may also set up the standby mode of your Bookeen Diva HD e-reader when it is inactive for a certain period of time from the “Settings” menu, then “General”, then “Standby”, and then “Enter sleep mode after”.

3. Discovery of your Bookeen Diva HD e-reader

This chapter will help you become familiar with the basic operations of your Bookeen Diva HD ereader, such as discovering the E Ink® screen, using the touch screen and buttons, understanding the pop-up menu and connection principles.

3.1 Forward page and backward page

Press the buttons on the right side of the screen to turn the pages.

3.2 E Ink® screen

The Bookeen Diva HD e-reader has a remarkable black and white screen that uses a revolutionary technology, i.e., the E Ink® electronic ink screen. This screen is like a page of paper made of tiny ink particles that can move and change the display of content in an instant. This screen flashes (very fast display of a black screen) at regular intervals to refresh these particles and thus maintain the best possible contrast between black and white. An e-ink screen is endowed with an extremely low power consumption mechanism. This consumption occurs mainly when the ink particles are organized on the page to display a text or an image. Once the content of the page is displayed, consumption is almost zero. The E Ink® display technology therefore allows the Bookeen Diva HD e-reader to brag about a battery life that can last for several weeks.

Note: Even if your battery is empty, your e-reader may continue to display an image on the screen. If your device seems blocked, first remember to plug it in to recharge the battery.

3.3 Touch screen interface

The touch screen of the Bookeen Diva HD e-reader is built on a capacitive technology:

This touch screen may be operated only with fingers or a suitable stylus.

The screen is very sensitive and you don't need to press hard to make it react.

In fact, the screen is so sensitive that it can respond even if you touch it lightly (like a caress).

The Bookeen Diva HD e-reader touch interface follows a few simple and intuitive rules outlined in details below.

Light touch: You may select or confirm a choice by simply touching the screen with your fingertip. As mentioned above, you don't need to press hard on the screen, just touch it lightly.

Swiping from right to left: This gesture is used to turn the pages of the library, in a book or a document, to view the right side of a PDF, or a zoomed image.

Swiping from left to right: This gesture is used to turn pages backward in the library, in a book or document, to view the left side of a PDF, or a zoomed image.

Swiping from top to bottom: This gesture is used to view images or PDF files.

Swiping from bottom to top: This gesture is used to view images or PDF files.

Swiping diagonally: This gesture is used to view images or PDFs, or turn pages forward or
