PageFlip Cicada User Guide 9. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Does the PageFlip Cicada work with the Amazon Kindle?
No. The Kindle hardware does not support Bluetooth or include a USB
port. However, Kindle software for the PC and Mac works with the pedal.
Does the PageFlip Cicada work with the Apple iPad?
Yes. However, the pedal only works with software that accepts keyboard
commands. Currently, this is limited to the MusicReader, ForScore, and
unrealBook apps. The list of compatible software is sure to grow. Please
check www.pageflip.com for updated information.
Where can I find digital sheet music to download?
The best source for free classical music is the International Music Score
Library Project (IMSLP) at imslp.org. Extensive collections of popular
music can be found at freehandmusic.com, sheetmusicdirect.com,
musicnotes.com, sheetmusicscore.com, or everynote.com. CD Sheet
Music from Hal Leonard (halleonard.com) is a great source of scanned
classical music conveniently available on CDs. Search the internet for
“sheet music download” to get updated results.
How do I import my books or sheet music into my computer?
You must scan the physical pages. For best results, try to avoid the shadows near the book spine by using a flatbed book scanner such as the
Plustek OpticBook 3600. Visit www.plustek.com for more details.
Why the name "Cicada"?
The pedal derives its name from the cicada insect. The sleek design of
the dual pedal is inspired by the graceful shape of the cicada wings.

Why did PageFlip Cicada automatically shut down?
Automatic shutdown occurs after two hours of inactivity. Tapping a pedal
will make the PageFlip Cicada attempt to re-establish the Bluetooth connection. This may take a few seconds. If the computer continues to be
unresponsive to the pedal, press the RESET button.
What do I do if Bluetooth pairing is unsuccessful?
Delete the device displayed in the host and press the RESET button on
the pedal. Initial discovery mode may take up to 30 seconds. Follow your
computer’s instructions on how to pair Bluetooth devices.
Does PageFlip Cicada work with computers that have no Bluetooth?
Yes, only after you plug in the included USB Bluetooth micro adapter (dongle) into the computer’s USB port. Follow your computer’s instructions for
adding Bluetooth devices.
Does PageFlip Cicada turn pages at timed intervals?
No. PageFlip Cicada turns a page only when the user triggers it by tapping a pedal or activating an external switch.
When is the Autorepeat mode appropriate?
Turn on autorepeat if you are interested in fast browsing or scrolling. Turn
off autorepeat to avoid multiple pages from turning at once if you inadvertently press the pedal too long. It is therefore best to turn off autorepeat
during a performance.
Which software is known to work with the PageFlip Cicada?
PageFlip Cicada works with any software that uses PageUp/PageDown,
arrow keys, or mouse clicks to advance through the electronic document.
This includes any PDF reader, Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, web browsers,
image viewers, and more.

9 FREQUENTLY AS KED QUESTIONS
Why are the LEDs not lit when I turn on the PageFlip Cicada?
Make sure to install two fresh AA batteries in the pedal. Alternatively, the
PageFlip Cicada may be connected to a computer’s USB port via a miniUSB cable (not included), or it may be plugged into the wall using the
supplied univeral AC adapter. Do not use any other AC adapter as that
may damage the unit.
What is the current pedal mode?
An LED is lit next to the current mode setting of the pedal. Simply press
a different mode button to change the setting. The LED will turn off once
the PageFlip Cicada enters sleep mode after two hours of inactivity.
Why is the pedal not turning pages?
Confirm that the device "Dual Pedal" is paired to your computer and that
the correct pedal mode is selected. Some software may require arrow
keys while others may require PageUp/PageDown or other keystrokes.
Try several modes until you find one that works. Note that if you use
unrealBook on the iPad, the app toolbar must be hidden (by tapping the
screen) in order for the app to respond to the Up/Down Arrow keys.
What are the different operating conditions signified by the LED?
A solid LED means that the pedal is plugged into a power source. If the
RESET button is pressed, the pedal enters Bluetooth discovery mode and
all the LEDs flash in sequence. The LED flashes once per second after
the pedal is turned on and is attempting to establish a Bluetooth connection with a paired device. The LED flashes once every four seconds to
signal that the pedal is already paired. Repeated bursts of three quick
flashes signal a low-battery condition.
