1.1. Introduction
Many thanks for choosing the JOBO SPECTATOR. The SPECTATOR is the perfect
solution if you want more than just storing your data! With the new SPECTATOR
you can already view your pictures in superb quality while you are still traveling,
no matter where you are – and you can do so without a PC!
On the large 2.5“ high brilliance TFT color LCD you can look at your most beautiful
photos in breathtaking quality and you can even zoom in and out. The high resolution display with 16 million colors makes it possible to view images accurately
no matter where you happen to be. The SPECTATOR supports all the conventional
memory cards and also boasts a USB port as well as a TV OUT connection. The
small memory miracle which is available with a 40, 80 or 120 GB hard disk starts
the data transfer with an automatic „Verify“ process so that you can be certain
that the transfer of you valuable pictures to the device has been successfully completed. The integrated Li-Ion battery makes the SPECTATOR your ideal companion
with which you can store, view and show your photos wherever you are.

1.3. Scope of delivery
The package contains the following parts:
- JOBO SPECTATOR
- integrated battery
- integrated hard disk
- mains adapter

- manual
1.4. Charging the battery
The device has an integrated Li-Ion battery with 2000 mAh. Please, charge the
battery once completely for 12 hours before the first use by way of the mains
adapter supplied with SPECTATOR. Only use the original mains adapter that comes
with the device for charging. The internal battery will then be charged via the
mains adapter. If the SPECTATOR is connected to a computer the charging is effected via the USB cable as long as the computer is switched on. Since the battery is
a Li-Ion battery the so-called memory effect is eliminated, which means you can
recharge the battery to be on the safe side when it is still half full. The charging
level of the battery is indicated by the battery symbol in the display.
The battery must not be exchanged by anyone other than the manufacturer.

1.5. Switching on / off
1.5.1. Switching on SPECTATOR
On the right-hand side there is the „ON / OFF” sliding switch by which to switch
on SPECTATOR. In order to avoid switching on the device by mistake the switch
needs to be held in the “ON” position for 2 seconds to activate the device. Make
sure that the battery is sufficiently charged.
1.5.2. Switching off SPECTATOR
In order to switch off the device you again operate the “ON / OFF” sliding switch
on the right-hand side for about 2 seconds. The display will confirm that the
device has been switched off.
The device has an energy saving function that you can activate in the systems
menu or by way of a timing function. With this function the display is switched
off after a pre-selected time. This measure relieves the internal battery and thus
saves energy. In order to use the device again press the “ON/OFF“ sliding switch.
