Turn the Device On and Off
To turn on the device, press the button. When you turn on the device for the first time, you are asked to complete a calibration process. For more information, see “Calibrate the device” on next page.
To turn off the device, press again.
Reset the Device
Occasionally you may need to reset your device. A normal (or soft) reset of your device clears all active program memory and shuts down all active programs. This can be useful when the device is running slower than normal, or a program is not performing properly. A soft reset is also necessary after the installation of some programs. If a soft reset is performed when programs are running, unsaved work will be lost.
You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard reset should be performed only if a normal reset does not solve a system problem. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settings—the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on the device will be lost.
To perform a soft reset
• Find out Soft reset key which is small hole at the left side of your device shown enclosed by circles in the picture below. Use the stylus to press the reset key and hold it for a while. Your device may shut down. Press the POWER button, the device restarts and displays the Today screen. A soft reset of your device clears all active program memory and shuts down all active programs. This can be useful when your device is running slower than normal, or a program is not performing properly. A soft reset is also necessary after the installation of some programs. If a soft reset is performed when programs are running, unsaved work will be lost.

Picsel Viewer Pan and Zoom Mode
The document you wish to see is often larger than the space available on the screen. There are two ways to see more of it. To pan (or ‘scroll’) to a different part of the document, simply stroke your pen across the screen in the direction you would like the page to move.
To pan the page up, touch and hold your pen somewhere near the middle of the screen and draw a line towards the top, then take your pen off the screen. You can do this repeatedly so that you can view any size of document. Further, you can ‘throw’ the document across the screen, and it will continue moving after you have released the pen. This gives you time to start another stroke. This inertia can be used to save time while you pan around the document.

You can also zoom the size of the document, so that more or less of it is visible at a different size. The tap-and-stroke gesture for this is to tap your pen briefly near the middle of the screen then touch and hold it again in the same place (a “double-tap”). Now, stroke your pen up to zoom in, or down to zoom out. Release your pen when you reach the scale you like. Using this, you can view small print details on diagrams, or can get an overview of a whole page.

Thumbnail
While viewing a page, a thumbnail can be displayed to:
- Give an overview of the current page
- Show the position of the current visible screen on the page
Currently, there are two modes that can be used. For document map mode, the visible area of the document is the same, and the thumbnail is superimposed at the bottom of the screen, on a transparent panel. A red transparent box on top of this thumbnail shows the current screen position and size. For magnify mode, the screen is split in two. A magnifying glass icon can be used to navigate the thumbnail at the top, and the bottom portion shows the zoomed document.
