AV Tutor
Thank you for your investment in the Califone AV Tutor™ & its supporting supplemental reading programs. It has been
designed for beginning readers and those who are below grade in ELD/ESL applications.
This program does more to enhance classroom curriculum, speech-language therapies, & ELD/ESL applications than ever
before! With a form function that ’s already familiar to many kids, the AV Tutor will be a popular learning destination within
your classroom. This digital upgrade oers a more convenient way for students to learn today, but is based on our teachertested popular card programs which help students connect what they see with what they hear… played back with the
sound clarity and consistency only digital recordings can provide.
I invite you to visit our website and register your AV Tutor for its one year warranty coverage. While you are there please visit
other sections to learn more about our complete line of portable and installed wired and wireless PA systems, multimedia

Operation of the AV Tutor:
• Insert a Califone cartridge into the AV Tutor BEFORE turning the unit on. The cartridge
should slide into the AV Tutor and then “click” into place.
• When the power is turned o and then on again rapidly, the screen may not load
properly and could show a strange pattern on the screen. To x this, turn o the 2050
power waiting for 3 to 5 seconds, and then turn it on again.
• If after turning the AV Tutor power on a strange pattern is displayed on the screen, the
cartridge may not be seated properly in the unit. Verify that the cartridge is fully pushed
down into the device and into the connector. The top of the cartridge should be level
with the top most edges of the AV Tutor. If upon turning the unit on again there is still
a strange pattern on the screen, try to wiggle the cartridge to improve it’s seating
in the unit.
• LED indicator:
1. When powered o and charging the batteries using the included power
adapter, the LED will light red. When charging of the batteries is complete,
the LED will turn o.
2. When powered on and charging the batteries using the included power
adapter, the LED will light red. When charging of the batteries is complete,
the LED will turn green.

responses and compare it to the modeled example. Anything recorded is automatically
erased when the screen is changed or the unit is powered o.
