Safety Instructions

When using your RCA brand Gemstar eBook™, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:

1. Do not use the eBook near water, for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub,
in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.

2. Avoid using the eBook during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from
lightning.

3. Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
They may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

4. CAUTION - To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.

5. CAUTION - Do not remove the cover (or back). There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer

Your eBook is a compact, handheld electronic reading device. It has a unique high-resolution, backlit screen
that provides an optimal reading experience regardless of the available light. At just 18 ounces, the eBook goes
anywhere. It's your portable bookshelf.

How does it work? You can buy specially prepared electronic reading materials, called "eBook Editions™ ".

Look for the at online bookstores. The first thing you need to do before purchasing eBook Editions is to
register your eBook through the built-in modem. It is important you register your eBook because each eBook
Edition you buy is specially encoded so it can only be read on your specific eBook. The registration process
identifies you as the owner of your particular unit. The special encoding gives protection for both you and the
author's copyright, since it prevents copies of your Editions from being redistributed illegally. If you have not
already registered your eBook, refer to the registration setup in the Quick Start Guide. See

Modem Preferences

The modem also allows you to purchase eBook Editions without using a PC. Once your registration is
complete you can purchase eBook Editions through the eBook catalogs. After purchasing, simply download to
store them on your eBook. Because they are stored directly on your eBook, you can easily access the eBook
Editions at any time within the United States and Canada.

Your eBook has room to store multiple eBook Editions, and you can purchase an optional SMART
MEDIA™ card to increase the memory for additional storage space. If you have used all the memory and
want to download more eBook Editions,you can use a SMART MEDIA card with your Smart Media
connection. See for more details. You can even remove purchased
eBook Editions from your eBook and SMART MEDIA card without any problem, since you can always
download them again using the modem. You'll never have to buy the same eBook Edition twice!

Moving Within an eBook Edition

Typically, when you read a printed book, you move forward, reading one page at a time in order.
Occasionally, you may want to go back to the previous page. To move through an eBook Edition this way, you
use the Page Back and Page Forward buttons, located on the spine of the eBook.

You can also use a "silent reading" mode if you want to eliminate even the quiet click of the page buttons. To
do this, you can use the icon to perform the paging functions. See for more

information.

There are also times when you want to move through a book quickly, jumping from topic to topic rather than
going page by page. Your eBook has a number of features that allow you to move quickly to a specific
location.

Changing the Direction of Page Buttons

You have the ability to change the direction of the Page Back and Page Forward buttons. The default paging
direction for the top button is Page Forward and the bottom button is Page Back if you have the eBook in
portrait orientation. To change the direction of the buttons:

2. Tap .Settings

3. Depending which direction your page buttons are in, tap either or .Default Paging Reverse Paging

Hyperlinks

just like links on a Web page. On an eBook, linked text is underlined. To jump to the link, simply tap the
underlined text. You cannot edit these hyperlinks in eBook Editions you've purchased. They must be in the
eBook Edition when you buy it.

Page Navigation Bar

Your eBook gives you a visual representation of where you are in your eBook Edition with the page navigation
bar. This is the thin bar that appears on the right edge of the screen when you read an eBook Edition. The
whole bar represents the entire eBook Edition. The dark part of the bar shows where you are with respect to
the whole text.

You can use the page navigation bar just like you use the thickness of a book to open to an approximate
location. You can also use the page navigation bar to find out how much of the text you have read. Note that
the percentage displayed is affected by the font and size you've selected, as well as by the page orientation.
This is because the amount of text that appears on an eBook page can change if you change these elements.

To move around the selected eBook Edition quickly using the page navigation bar:

1. Tap anywhere along the thin page navigation bar at the right edge of the screen.

A dark instruction banner with two page buttons appears. For example:

the page you're on currently.13%:

the page that corresponds to the place you tapped.Go To 48%:

NOTE:

If the instruction banner covers text you want to read, you can tap the arrow on

the banner to move it to the opposite edge of the page.

2. Use your finger or stylus to slide up and down along the thin bar.

The percentage in the button changes as you move along the bar.Go To

3. When the percentage is what you want, tap the button.Go To

Your eBook displays the text at the location you selected.

2. Tap .Previous Location

The eBook displays the page you were viewing previously.

1. Tap the icon.Book

2. Tap . The Header and Footer windows will appear. Header/Footer

If there are not Headers or Footers in an eBook Edition, the option will be greyed
out.

to reference. For example, menu links might be provided to let you quickly jump to the table of contents or the
index.

To see which menu links the eBook Edition you're reading provides:

1. Tap the icon.Book

2. Tap .Go To

information.

Viewing Images and Playing Sound Clips

The eBook lets you view large images and even has an audio output that allows you to listen to sound clips that
may be provided in certain eBook Editions.

Panning Images

If an illustration or diagram is larger than the screen, you can still view the entire image. Arrows appear along
the edges of the image that continue past the edge of the screen. You can tap the arrows to scroll the hidden
portion of the image into view. Alternatively, you can simply touch the image anywhere and drag on the screen
away from the arrows to bring the rest of it into view. When you are done viewing the illustration, use the Page
Back or Page Forward buttons to continue reading.

An example illustration is included below. If you are viewing this manual on an eBook, you can try using the
arrows to view the off-screen portion of the image.

Playing Sound Clips

If the eBook Edition you are reading includes a sound clip, you can play it by clicking on the link provided. To
hear the sound clip, use any standard set of headphones or earbuds. You can stop playing it simply by tapping
anywhere on the screen. In the example given below, the sound clip is identified by a speaker icon. If you are
reading this manual on your eBook, plug in a set of standard headphones or earbuds into the headphone jack
on your eBook and tap on the speaker icon to listen to the sound clip. (If you are reading this on a browser
that is set up for sound capability, you can also click on the speaker icon to play it.)

You cannot use the modem while playing sound clips.NOTE:

Maintaining the Touch Screen

You can keep your touch screen in optimal working order by calibrating it. You can make sure the
screen continues to be easy to read by keeping it clean.

Calibrating the Touch Screen

Calibration ensures that when you tap the screen where there's an icon, menu, or button, it recognizes
that you want to perform a command. The eBook screen was calibrated for you at the factory, so it
should be ready to use when you receive it. However, if the screen doesn't perform like you think it
should, you can calibrate it again:

1. Tap the icon.Page Orientation

NOTE: Page Orientation

If the screen fails to respond when you tap the icon, turn
off your eBook. Then push the reset switch on the back of your eBook. Hold down
the page button closest to the headphone jack while turning the eBook back on.
Keep holding down the page button until the calibration screen appears.

2. Using the stylus, tap the center of the bull's-eye that appears in the center of the screen.

3. Continue using the stylus to tap the center of the series of circles that appear on the screen.

That's all there is to it. The touch screen is now calibrated again.

Cleaning the Screen

To keep your eBook screen at its best, clean it occasionally with the screen cleaning cloth provided.
You can use lens cleaner, but you should avoid using solvents. Make sure that no moisture is allowed to
seep under the plastic frame at the edge of the screen.

Checking the Status of Memory and Battery

4. Tap the button on the window.Done Status

Charging the Battery

The eBook is powered by an internal, Lithium-Ion battery that recharges when you connect the power
adapter to the eBook and plug it into an outlet. If the battery is fully discharged, it takes about two hours
to recharge. Since batteries drain slowly even when not in use, it's a good idea to leave your eBook
recharging with the power adapter when you're not using it. That way, you'll be sure it's fully charged
when you need it.

For more information on the battery life, see Checking the Status of Memory and Battery.

NOTE:

Batteries and other eBook components are not user serviceable. Opening your

eBook can void the warranty.

If you believe there is a problem with the battery in your unit, contact eBook Technical
Support. See Other Information for more information.

To recharge the battery:

1. Make sure the power adapter is connected to the eBook.

2. Plug the adapter into an outlet.

You do not need to turn off the eBook when recharging. If it's on, you can continue
reading. Otherwise, a battery status window appears on the screen:

: displayed while battery is chargingCharging

connected

: displayed if AC adapter is disconnectedDischarging

DISPOSAL WARNING:

The rechargeable battery in the eBook could explode if the unit is disposed

of in high temperatures. It will explode if disposed of in a fire.

Freeing Up eBook Memory

Most of the eBook's memory is used to store the eBook Editions. However, some memory is also used
by the markups you've made while reading your eBook Editions. The markups could include
bookmarks, notes, and underlines. Additionally, if you select a font that is different from the default
settings, some memory is used to store that font (this memory is released if you select the default fonts
again, as described in Choosing Fonts and Font Sizes).

The number of eBook Editions you can store depends on the memory capacity of your eBook, the size
of your eBook Editions and on how much marking up you do within each eBook Edition. See

the Status of Memory and Battery

to find out more about the memory usage on your eBook. If you

Allegro Tips

As you use your eBook, you'll find that there are times when you need to enter some words or text of
your own. For example, you may want to enter a word to look up in the dictionary. Or, you might need
to enter a number of words, as when you're adding a note to an eBook Edition.

Whenever you need to enter text, your eBook gives you two options. You can either use the on-screen
keyboard and tap the letters, or you can use the on-screen writing pad and write the characters with
your stylus. Which ever text entry option you used last will be selected by default, but you can select the
other at any time.

Using the On-Screen Keyboard

If you'd like to practice text entry but a text entry window is not already displayed on the screen, first
open an eBook Edition, then tap the icon and select .Book Add Note

To enter text with the on-screen keyboard,

1. Make sure the text entry window is in keyboard mode.

2. Using the stylus, tap the characters you want.

The letters appear in the text box above the keyboard as you tap each
character.

If you make a mistake typing a character, use the stylus to move the cursor to the
right of the mistake, then tap the backspace key (the left arrow, next to the letter p).
If you hold the stylus down on the backspace key, you can delete multiple letters
easily.

You can also delete highlighted text using the backspace key. To highlight a portion
of the text, tap the first letter you want to highlight, then slide the stylus over the rest.

NOTE:

Calibrating the Touch Screen

If the keyboard doesn't respond as you think it should, try recalibrating the touch screen. See

for more information.

Writing With the Stylus

Your eBook includes the FonixAllegro™ handwriting recognition software. This software lets you use
your stylus to write simple stroke patterns on the on-screen writing pad, and they will be instantly
recognized as numbers, letters, or symbols. You'll probably find you can use the Allegro system
successfully and easily after only a few minutes of practice.

NOTE:

Different stroke patterns may be used with different handwriting recognition
systems. Be sure to review the stroke patterns for Allegro, given below, even if you are
familiar with other handwriting systems, such as Graffiti®, or Jot®.

If you'd like to practice text entry but a text entry window is not already displayed on the screen, first
open an eBook Edition,then tap the icon and select .Book Add Note

To enter text with the on-screen writing pad:

1. Make sure the text entry window is in Allegro mode.

If the text entry window is currently showing the keyboard and not the writing pad,
select the button labeled Allegro.

The text entry window redisplays in Allegro mode.

2. Using the stylus and the writing pad, draw the stroke patterns of the characters you'd like to enter.

The writing pad is located in the center of the text entry window. See the following
sections for details on using the Allegro handwriting software.

provides additional information on successfully writing specific letters.Allegro Tips

The characters appear in the text box above the writing pad as you complete
them. Each stroke is finished when you lift your stylus.

If you make a mistake writing a character, use the stylus to move the cursor to the
right of the mistake, then draw the backspace stroke (a straightright-to-left line in the
center of the writing pad).

You can also delete highlighted text using the backspace stroke. To highlight a
portion of the text, tap the first letter you want to highlight, then slide the stylus over
the rest.

NOTE:

Calibrating the Touch Screen

If the writing pad doesn't respond as you think it should, try recalibrating the touch screen. See

for more information.

Using Allegro

When you use handwriting software, you need to write each character in a particular way, so the
software can recognize it. One of Allegro's strengths is that it uses natural letter forms that are easy to
learn and fast to execute. It also allows considerable deviation from the basic letter shapes, as long as
certain key features are respected.

The figure below shows the first three letters of the Allegro alphabet.

Each letter is drawn in a single stroke, starting at the start-point, pictured by a solid dot. Many letters
and numbers are formed in the way you would naturally write them, but some are not. It's a good idea to
practice all of them, keeping the Allegro letter chart in front of you and copying each one closely. This
will give you a chance to become familiar with any strokes that might feel less natural to you.

Allegro also allows you to enterupper-case letters, punctuation, symbols and characters like space, tab,
and return. These all use special introducer strokes that change the interpretation of the next stroke you
make. As you'll see in the next sections, you can also use the on-screen mode selectors instead of the
introducer strokes. If you don't use Allegro very often, you may find it simplest to use these selectors
when you want to set the mode for entering capital letters or special characters.

Note that when you use introducer strokes, the mode selectors still update to reflect the current mode.
The Help button on the text entry screen displays the stroke chart for the current mode. The"Next >>"
and "<< Previous" buttons on the Help screen can then be used to cycle through the stroke charts for the
other modes.

The Allegro Alphabet

The strokes for the basic Allegro alphabet are given below. See for additional information

Allegro Tips

on successfully writing specific letters.

Some additional basic strokes are listed below.

The horizontal line goes from left to right.Space:

Write two diagonal strokes starting at the upper left to get a period. Period:

Changes the usual case of the next letter. Shift*:

Toggle Caps Lock*:

Two upward strokes turns Caps Lock on or off. When Caps Lock is on,

all strokes interpreted as letters are converted to uppercase, unless shifted.

Backspace:

Erases the previous character. If done after an introducer stroke (like shift), it "erases"

the introducer only, canceling its mode.

This is the enter key. Return:

Think of tab as a shifted space. Tab:

* These introducer strokes have on-screen mode selectors that can be used instead of writing the stroke
shown. To use the mode selector, simply tap its button with your stylus.

Punctuation and Symbols

With Allegro, punctuation and symbols are written in symbol mode. You can turn on symbol mode either
by tapping the on-screen button labeled ".?!" or by writing the symbol mode introducer stroke on the
writing pad (a diagonal downward stroke that starts in the upper left corner). As a result, punctuation
and symbols require at least one additional tap or stroke before you write the symbol's stroke.

Some symbols must also be written in shiftmode. For these symbols, two taps or strokes are required
before you write the symbol's stroke: both symbol mode and shift mode must be enabled. Shift mode is
enabled by tapping the on-screen Shift button or by writing the shift modeintroducer stroke on the
writing pad (a vertical stroke that starts at the bottom center). Note that even in Caps Lock mode, shift
must be selected explicitly for these symbols.

Symbol mode, like shift mode, only applies to one character. After the stroke for the symbol is written,
the mode returns to its previous setting.

The stroke charts for punctuation and symbols are given below.

* Before writing the stroke, first tap".?!" button, or write to enable symbol mode.

** Before writing the stroke, first tap both ".?!" and Shift buttons, or write to enable symbol and
shift modes.

Numbers

Allegro numbers are written in num lock mode. You can turn on num lock mode either by tapping the
on-screen button labeled "123" or by writing the num lock mode toggle stroke on the writing pad (a
diagonal upward stroke that starts in the lower left corner).Num lock is a toggle mode, which means that
it remains in effect until you explicitly return to normal text entry mode. Punctuation and symbols can be
entered while you are in num lock mode.

To exit num lock mode, you can tap the "abc" button or write the num lock toggle stroke again. This
returns you to normal, letter entry mode.

The stroke chart for numbers is given below.

*Before writing any number strokes, first tap the "123" button, or write to toggle on numlock mode.

Accented Characters

Allegro also lets you enter accented characters for languages other than English. To do this, you first
need to enter accent mode, which is turned on either by tapping the on-screen button labeled "äõy´" or
by writing the accent mode introducer stroke on the writing pad (a diagonal downward stroke starting in
the upper right corner). After entering accent mode, you then enter the stroke for the letter. Finally you
enter the stroke for the accent itself.

Accent mode only applies to one character. After the strokes for the accented character are written, the
mode returns to its previous setting.

To enter a capitalized accented letter:

1. If you're not already in Caps Lock mode, enter shift mode (tap the on-screen Shift button, or
write the Shift introducer stroke).

2. Enter accent mode (tap the on-screen "äõy´" button, or write the accent introducer stroke).

3. Write the letter's stroke.

4. Write the accent's stroke.

Unknown character/accent combinations are interpreted as a "?" character.NOTE:

The stroke chart for accents is given below.

* Before writing the stroke for the accent, first tap the "äõy´" button, or write to enter accent mode,
then write the stroke for the letter (see ).

The Allegro Alphabet

Allegro Tips

Some quick tips for successfully writing Allegro letters are given below:

- Make a round circle, and make the tail the same height as the circle (a long tail can cause confusion

a

with q).

- Complete the circle to distinguish from h.

b

- Avoid a hook at the start, which can make the letter look like e.

c

- Make the upstroke much higher than the initial circle, to avoid confusion with a.

d

- Start with a horizontal line, going from left to right.

e

- This variant form will probably need to be learned.

f

- Avoid looping the tail back, to avoid confusion with f, or t.

g

- A definite arch distinguishes this from b.

h

- Avoid hooks at the start and end of the downstroke.

i

- Avoid looping the tail back, to avoid confusion with t.

j

- The final downstroke can have a c shape.

k

- Making the upstroke and downstroke coincide avoids confusion with e.

l

- Starting m with an upstroke may require practice.

m

- Starting n with an upstroke may require practice.

n

- Start the circle at the topmost point.

o

- Complete the circle (p with a badly formed circle can look like f).

p

- The final rightward upstroke avoids confusion with g.

q

- Start with a vertical downstroke, then curve off the upstroke gradually to the right, finishing in a

r

rightward direction (to avoid confusion with v).

- Make the usual s-shape.

s

- Avoid an initial upward hook.

t

- Make the tail the same height as the u-shape.

u

- Two equal straight lines at a sharp angle, with the upstroke more vertical than horizontal, should

v

avoid confusion with r.

- Avoid an initial upward hook.

w

- This unusual way to make x takes some practice, but is quite unambiguous.

x

- Make the u-shape quite open to avoid confusion with g, and make the tail descend well below the

y

base of the u.

- Make the usual z-shape.

z

- This is the German character representing a double s.

method of connection. In some cases, the company's inside wiring associated with a single line individual
service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The
customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of
