General View

The general view and external appliances of SENCOR® SDN 450 are shown
below.

• When the device is on, press and hold the On/Off button for approximately two
seconds to turn on the backlight. Press and hold the On/Off button again to turn the
backlight off.

• In most windows or dialog boxes, tap OK or Done to accept changes or Cancel
to exit without saving any changes.

Tap the screen with the supplied pointing device called the stylus which, when not
in use, is conveniently kept in a special slot at the side of the device’s back panel.

♦ Note: If, for some reason, using the stylus does not provide the desired effect,
you may need to recalibrate the screen (see page 3).

Power Supply

SENCOR® SDN 450 is powered by two AAA (LR03) batteries. Please insert the
batteries before connecting your device to a PC. If the battery power runs too low,
the unit will start up when you press the On/Off button but will then shut off
automatically. When this happens, please replace the batteries immediately to
avoid the risk of losing user data.

♦ Note: You have one minute to replace the batteries without risk of losing the

data stored in RAM. Do not exceed the one-minute limit! Neither the
manufacturer nor the dealer may be held responsible for the loss of user data.

MultiMedia Card

SENCOR® SDN 450 MultiMedia Card is included in the standard package. Please
insert the card into the MMC slot before you turn the device on.

the device off.

Installing MMC

facing down. Push the card gently until it clicks into place.
