Troubleshooting

MALFUNCTION: Device does not turn on or turns on
but only the logo loads

POSSIBLE CAUSE: battery is low.

SOLUTION: charge the battery.

MALFUNCTION: A book does not open - the message

‘book is probably damaged or protected’ appears, or

nothing happens at all.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: this book is damaged.

SOLUTION: If the book was downloaded from the online
store try to re-load it again. If the file opens on your PC, but
does not open on the device, resave the book in another
format.

MALFUNCTION: No response when you press any key.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: sometimes (e.g., when downloading
damaged or books with too large a volume) the device may
‘hangup’.

SOLUTION: close the frozen application by pressing the

‘Return’ key for 1–2 sec. If this doesn’t help, press ‘Reset’ on

the rear panel to reload your device.

PROBLEM: Having connected to PC, no disks of the
device are seen in WINDOWS Explorer.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: your device is in the battery charging
mode.

SOLUTION: check USB mode in ‘Configuration’ item of
Main Menu.

Set ‘Connection to PC’ or ‘Ask at Connection’.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: no signal in connection cable.

SOLUTION: check USB cable condition and its proper
connection to connector. Try to connect the USB-cable to
another connector.

PROBLEM: Bookmarks, settings and current position
in file are not saving.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: damaged file system.

SOLUTION: connect the device to a PC and check disks.

To do this, open ‘My Computer’, right-click on the selected disk
and select ‘Properties – Service – Check Disk’.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: internal memory overloaded.

SOLUTION: Delete books, images and/or music files that
you do not need.

PROBLEM: Battery discharges too fast.

POSSIBLE CAUSE 1: disabled automatic turning off.

SOLUTION: select ‘Configuration’ ⇨ ‘Clock’ in Main Menu.
Select automatic turn off time (10, 20, 30 or 60 minutes) for the
‘Turn Off in…’ item.

POSSIBLE CAUSE 2: music player is in background mode.
The music player is the most energy-consuming application. A
tone icon in the right lower corner indicates that the player is
active.

SOLUTION: turn off the player.

PROBLEM: Another version of firmware is beeing
installed on the device.

POSSIBLE CAUSE 1: An older version of firmware is in
internal memory.

SOLUTION: Delete the old firmware file from the root folder
of the device's internal memory.

POSSIBLE CAUSE 2:

Two or more firmware files are present. Each version of
firmware has a unique name; thereforer, several of them could
reside at the same time in root directory of both SD card and
internal memory. The system will run the firmware it finds first.

SOLUTION: Prior to copying a new firmware file for
installation, find and delete all old firmware files in roots of both
SD card and internal memory matching the mask:

FCC Compliance Statement

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:

 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
 Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement

This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth an uncontrolled
environment. This transmitter must not be co‐located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.

The device was tested and complies to measurement standards and procedures specified in
FCC OET Bulletin 65, Supplement C

Certification information (SAR) The device meets guidelines for exposure to radio
waves.

Your device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for
exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were
developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed
to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure guidelines for devices employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0 watts/kilogram
(W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency
bands. The actual SAR level of an operating device can be below the maximum value because
the device is designed to use only the power required to reach the network.
