We wish you a lot of fun with TrekStor eBook Reader Pyrus 2
LED. Please read the following instructions carefully so that you
can become acquainted with the functions of this product and
its use.
E Ink® technology
When using the E Ink® technology, the illustration of text or
pictures is adopted by a "E Ink®". The display is passive: It does
not light as conventional LCDs and consumes energy only
when loading or flipping a page. This achieves a very long
battery life time. Once set "E Ink®" remains until the next image
build-up, i. e. the last displayed page remains visible, even if the
eBook Reader is already switched off. A "burning-in" into the
display is not possible with E Ink®.
Your eBook Reader Pyrus 2 LED features integrated warm light
LEDs that are scalable in different stages, to allow relaxed
reading in all light conditions.
Current product information can be found at the TrekStor
website http://www.trekstor.de.
Other products and accessories are available at www.trekstor-
onlineshop.de.

manufacturer accepts no liability for damaged or lost data and
all consequential damages.
The manufacturer retains the right to continually improve the
product. These changes maybe made without being directly
described in these operating instructions. For this reason, the
information provided in these operating instructions may not
reflect the current state of the art.
2 Instructions for Safety and Use

changed. The components cannot be serviced by the
user.
e Never expose the device to moisture, condensation and
liquids.
j Protect the device from extremely high and low
temperatures and temperature fluctuations.
Use the device within an ambient temperature of 10º C
until 40º C.
m Never place the device close to a source of heat, and
protect it from direct sunlight.
h Make sure that the surroundings are as dust-free as
possible when you use and store the device.

Notes:
p In certain circumstances, exposing the device to an
electrostatic discharge may interrupt the data transfer
between the device and the computer and impair the
functions of the device. If this occurs, the device should
be unplugged from the USB port and then plugged in
again.
o Do not use USB cables longer than 3 meters.
q The capacity indicated by your operating system can be
different than the actual capacity of your device. Like
most manufacturers of computer hardware, TrekStor
uses the prefixes for units (e.g. 1 GB = 1.000.000.000
bytes) as prescribed by the International System of Units
(SI). Unfortunately, many operating systems do not
comply with this norm and display a lower capacity
because they base their calculations on the assumption
that 1 GB = 230 bytes = 1.073.741.824 bytes.
