• Get software upgrades

• Download the latest User Manual and Quick Reference

Guide

• Store content in your personal secure library (planned).

• Share content with other ILiad’s or accounts (planned).

• And many more to follow …

After you have acquainted yourself with your iLiad it is important to create an account to download free new software upgrades directly to your iLiad. Please go to www.iRexTechnologies.com

• The product should only be connected and used in the way

described in this manual.

• The most recent downloads and information are available at our website: www.iRexTechnologies.com

• The outer layer of the display is a hard PET layer and is scratch resistant, but if handled roughly it can still be damaged.

• The operation and function can be either viewer or content dependant:

5 Travel Hub

The travel hub can be connected with the attached cable to the travel hub connecter (4.11) of the iLiad. The travel hub is used to make different type of connections with the iLiad: power, network and USB.

5.1 Power Cable Connection

5.2 Network Connection

• To make a wired network connection, connect an Ethernet

cable to the travel hub (and the travel hub to the iLiad).

• The green led on the Ethernet cable connector will turn on to

indicate there is a physical network connection.

Any DC adaptor with an output voltage range between 10 and 18 V can be used. Observe the polarity requirements for proper operation (centre pin is positive). The adaptor must provide a minimum of 12 Watts.

l7 The Sty us

The iLiad is equipped with a stylus a developed by Wacom and EMR techno send and position sensing method.

The stylus slot on the back of the iLiad (4.12) has a sensor and upon removal of the s

nd digitizer

utilizes Penabled®. This technology is based on the

logy (Electro-Magnetic Resonance)

inside

tylus the digitizer will be activated. This

igitizer is a sensor board behind the Electronic Paper Display

d that will communicate with the stylus to track the position; therefore it will not detect a passive stylus or a touch of your finger.

Stylus

Digitizer

The digitizer will automatically go into low-power mode when the stylus is not close to the screen. If the stylus comes close to the screen, the digitizer will wake up automatically.

Note:

If you put the stylus on top of the screen, the digitizer will consume power because the pen point is near the digitizer. It is

ote:

best to always put the stylus into the iLiad after each use to save battery life.

N If the tip of your stylus does not match with the position on

e screen (e.g. when taking notes), you can improve the th precision by using the Stylus Calibration function. For more details about this, see settings chapter

11 iLiad Network Profiles

The iLiad network profiles contain the configuration and settings

r each separate network connection. You can configure a network profile for each different network that you wish your iLiad to use in order for easy access to the iRex Delivery Service (iDS) at all time.

One profile will be used as your preferred profile and will always be tried first by the iLiad when you wish to connect to the iRex Delivery Service (iDS) or a Computer. Once a profile is created it can be edited or deleted.

11.1 Network Requirements

In order to make a connection to the iRex Delivery Service (iDS) or to a computer the iLiad requires an active internet connection.

The iLiad is equipped with a WIFI 802.11g wireless LAN and a 10/100 MB wired LAN built-in the travel hub.

11.1.1 Wired Network Requirements

• Connect the travel hub to your network with an Ethernet

cable. (See 5.2)

To connect the iLiad to the network it is important that a

router device is being used as the iLiad will not support a direct connection to your ADSL or Cable modem.
