Charging the device

Your Cervantes 4 contains a rechargeable 1500 mAh Li-ion battery (non-removable), which is charged by connecting a USB cable to a computer or power socket.

To charge the battery via a computer, connect your ereader to it using the supplied USB cable. Charging speed is greater if the device is connected to a power supply rather than a computer.

To charge the battery via a mains adapter, connect the micro-USB end of the cable to the device and the USB end to the AC/DC adapter, then plug the adapter into the socket.

The battery icon is located at the top of the screen. It shows the device’s charge status.

Flat battery.

Charging battery.

Battery charged.

The bar indicates the remaining charge.

A full charge is recommended when this is done for the ﬁrst time. This will help calibrate the battery meter. Note that some batteries perform better after completing a number of charge cycles. The time required to charge your device can vary markedly depending on whether it is charged via a mains adapter or a computer USB port.

To optimally charge the device we recommend using a 5 V 1 A charger.

The battery in your Cervantes 4 is non-removable. Removal by anyone other than our Technical Support personnel may damage the device and invalidate the Warranty.

Getting Started

Maintaining the battery

Although the battery’s capacity decreases with use, its service life can be lengthened by observing the following recommendations:

· Use the device at least once a week.

· Fully charge the battery on a regular basis. Never leave the battery totally ﬂat for a prolonged period of time.

· Keep the device and the battery away from heat sources at all times.

If the ereader only works when it is connected to the power supply, contact the retailer in order to change the battery.

Transferring ﬁles

Files, such as books and documents, can be transferred between a microSD card and your computer, allowing these to be saved on either of the two.

Follow these steps:

1. Insert the microSD card into the ereader as shown in the Inserting and Removing the MicroSD

Card section.

2. Connect the micro-USB end of the cable to the device and the USB end to the computer. Tap Accept when the following text appears: Do you want to enable mass

storage mode? The device will be temporarily inoperative.

3. The computer will recognise the internal memory and/or microSD card as Removable drives.

4. Copy the desired ﬁles from the computer to the microSD card and/or internal memory,

or vice versa.

5. Once done copying, safely remove the device from the computer and disconnect the USB cable from the ereader and computer. The copied documents will be automatically classiﬁed in your Library.

Do not remove the microSD card or unplug the cable while ﬁles are being transferred.

Inserting and Removing the MicroSD Card

The memory of your Cervantes 4 can be expanded to 32 GB using a microSD card.

To insert a microSD card, follow these steps:

1. Ensure the pins face downward and point toward the screen, as shown in the diagram:

2. Push the card in until you hear a slight click, which indicates that it has been inserted

correctly. If it is not inserted correctly the device may not recognise it and its contents will not be accessible.

To remove the microSD card, follow the steps in the previous section in reverse order while taking into consideration a few important points:

a. For extra security we recommend the device be switched off before removing the

microSD card.

b. To remove it while the device is switched on and connected to a computer, ﬁrst

“safely remove” the card to avoid damaging it and losing data.

MicroSD and microSDHC cards are compatible with this device.

You can choose whether to store your multimedia ﬁles in your ereader’s internal memory or directly to the external microSD card. Note that any content stored on the external card will not be available when it is removed.

on its operation. We advise against using it in ambient temperatures under 0 ºC or above 45 ºC. Doing so may cause malfunctioning or damage to the device (or even explosions in more extreme cases). It is also inadvisable to use it continually at the limits of this range or in adverse climatic conditions as this may cause performance drops that temporarily affect device functionality and battery life.

Warning! This product must be used with a power supply that has, as a minimum, the following speciﬁcations: OUTPUT: 5V 500mA. Recommended: 5V 1A Connection: MicroUSB The use of a power supply other than the one indicated may damage your device and pose a risk to the safety of people and property.

Appendix C: Information on exposure to radio waves and SAR (Specific Absorption Rate).

The design of this ereader complies with the current regulations governing exposure to radio waves. These regulations are based on scientiﬁc guidelines that include safety margins designed to ensure the safety of everyone, regardless of age or state of health.

The guidelines on exposure to radio waves use a unit of measurement known as the SAR (Speciﬁc Absorption Rate). SAR tests are carried out using standardised methods, with the ereader transmitting at the highest certiﬁed level of power on all the frequency bands it uses.

The maximum SAR level recommended by the ICNIRP (International Commission on Non Ionizing Radiation Protection) is 2 W/kg, measured on 10 grams of tissue.

The highest SAR value for this ereader is:

When used in direct contact with the body 1,71 W/Kg (10 g)

This device complies with the guidelines on exposure to radio frequency when it is used next to the body.
