Thank you for purchasing the Device. You are reading the Welcome section of the Device User's Guide. This section provides an overview of Device and highlights a few basic features so you can start reading as quickly as possible. You can leave this guide at any time by pressing the Home button on your Device. To turn to the next page, press one of the Next Page buttons. If your Device was a gift, you will need to register your device. Please look at the Getting Started instructions that came with your Device for information on registering your device. Congratulations! You are reading on your new Device. If you haven't done so already, please follow the Getting Started instructions that came with your Device and plug in your Device to charge the battery. The charge indicator light on the bottom edge of your Device turns yellow and a lightning bolt appears on the battery icon at the top of the display. Charging the battery fully should take less than three hours and you can continue reading while it charges. Tip: The charge indicator light will turn green when the battery is fully charged. If you prefer to read the Device User's Guide side-by-side with the device, you can download and print a PDF copy of the Device User’s Guide at: http://www._____.com/Devicedocuments Getting Around You navigate Device using the controller; the Home, Menu, Back, and Next/Previous Page buttons; and the keyboard: To select a particular item such as a menu option or a specific word in your reading material, move the controller up, down, left, or right to highlight your choice and then press to select. You can press the Next or Previous Page buttons to move forward or backward in your reading material and press the Back button to retrace your steps on your Device. Use the keyboard to type words or phrases when searching your reading material or items in the Device Store. You can also use the keyboard to create notes while reading. All of these are covered in more detail later in this guide.
Easy-to-Read Display Device uses a high-resolution display technology called electronic paper. It works using ink just like books and newspapers, but it displays the ink particles electronically. The page flash you see when you turn the page is part of the ink placement process. The electronic paper display is reflective, which means unlike most displays, you can read it clearly even in bright sunlight. Also, electronic paper does not need power to hold the ink in place, which extends your Device's battery life. Wireless Access Using the wireless service, Crocus delivers content to your Device whenever and wherever you want it, within the wireless coverage area, using the same technology as a cell phone. By default, your Device ships with Wireless already turned on. To turn Wireless on or off, press the Menu button, move the controller up to underline "Turn Wireless On/Off," and then press the controller. Your Choice of Text Size To optimize your reading experience, Device provides a quick way to adjust the size of the reading text among six sizes. To try it now, press the Text key, move the controller to choose the size you prefer and press the controller to select. The text changes to the new size. Repeat the same steps to change the text size back or to change it to a size comfortable for you to read. Your Choice of Number of Words per Line You can also change the number of words per line in the book or periodical you are currently reading. Press the Text key, move the controller to choose the number of words per line you prefer and press the controller to select. This changes the width of the margins. You may find you read faster with fewer words per line. Experiment to see what works best for you. Let Device Read to You You can also choose to turn on the experimental application, Text-to-Speech, which will read aloud your books (where allowed by the rights holder), newspapers, blogs, and personal documents. You can either listen through your Device's external
speakers or plug in earphones into the headphone jack. While Text-to-Speech is playing, the screen will turn the pages automatically so you can follow along while the audio is playing. You have the choice of hearing your content spoken with a male or female voice and can also further optimize the listening experience by slowing down or increasing the rate of speech. Look It Up Your Device includes a dictionary. You can easily look up a particular word without leaving the content. Simply use the controller to navigate the cursor in front of the word you want defined. A definition of the word appears at the bottom of the screen. To view the full definition, press the Return key on the keyboard. To return to the text you were reading, press the Back button. Take It All with You Although Device is about the size of a paperback book, it can store over a thousand digital books, newspapers, blogs, and magazines, which are referred to collectively as "content" throughout this guide. A copy of all your books and recent issues of newspapers and magazines purchased from the Device Store are kept on Crocus. To open content on your Device, press the Home button. This displays a list of the content on your Device. Move the controller up or down to underline the item you want to open and then press the controller to open the item. To delete content on your Device, move the controller up or down to underline the item you want to delete. Move the controller to the left and then press the controller to complete the removal of the item. To move previously deleted content from Crocus back to your Device, Wireless must be on. From Home, select "Archived Items." This shows all of the content stored at Crocus. Underline the item you want to move back to your Device and move the controller to the right and then press the controller to start the transfer. In under a minute, the item re-downloads into your Device and appears in the list of content in Home. Shop Anytime, Anywhere If you have Wireless on and you select "Shop in Device Store" from any menu, Device connects you to a broad offering of reading material including books, newspapers, blogs, and magazines. You can browse by category or check out the latest bestsellers, new and noteworthy items, or your personalized recommendations.
You can see details about an item, read customer reviews, and even download free samples of books you are interested in. If you want to buy an item, Device uses secure Crocus purchase and then Wireless delivers the item to your Device generally in under a minute. Automatic Delivery Since Device connects to the Wireless network, we deliver your favorite periodicals over the air to your device as soon as they are published, often before they are even available in print. For example, if you subscribe to the Device edition of The Wall Street Journal, the latest edition is wirelessly delivered overnight so you can read it each morning. Your favorite periodicals follow you wherever you go in Wireless's broad coverage area, whether you are at home or on the road. Peruse Your Periodicals Just as you would thumb through a physical newspaper or magazine to locate an article of interest, your Device supplies you with navigation shortcuts so that you can quickly zero in on an article of interest. By moving the controller right or left you can advance to the next or previous article and pushing the controller brings up the periodical's section list. Search Your World While you are in Home, the Device Store, or reading content, you can use your Device's search feature. From the keyboard, begin typing what you'd like to search for and then using the controller, select the range of your search. If you begin your search while in Home or with open content, you have the option to search for that item in all of your books, newspapers, blogs, personal documents, and annotations. You also have the option to focus your search to the built-in dictionary, the Device Store, Wikipedia, and the Web. Clip Your Favorite Passages Have you ever been reading a book or a newspaper and wanted to clip and save a few words to refer to later? With Device, simply select "Add a Note or Highlight" from the menu and use the controller to highlight the content you want to clip and then press the controller to save your selection. The clipping is added to a file in Home called "My Clippings." You can review your clippings later, search for words or terms you clipped, and transfer the "My Clippings" file to your computer. This is a great way to capture your favorite quotations to share with others.
Bookmark Your Reading Device automatically saves your place in whatever book you are reading, but you can also add a bookmark to any page by pressing the Menu button and selecting "Add a Bookmark." You can see that the upper right corner of the page is dog-eared. Device stores all your bookmarks for the current content in your annotations. You can view them at any time by pressing the Menu button and selecting "My Notes & Marks." Add Your Own Notes Do you like to take notes and make comments while reading? You can add notes to any of the content on Device. Crocus automatically stores all of your book annotations in the "My Clippings" file and backs them up on Crocus servers so they will not be lost. As an example, this sentence is highlighted and has a note attached as indicated by the superscripted number one to the right of this text. Using the controller, move the cursor over the notation number to see the note. To add your own note, move the cursor to the word where you want to add your thoughts, and begin typing your note. Then use the controller again to highlight the "save note" button onscreen and press the controller to select. You can later view, edit, or remove a note, or see all of your annotations by pressing the Menu button and selecting "My Notes & Marks." Stay in Sync Syncing technology saves and synchronizes your reading location across your Device(s) and your phone. Now you can read a few pages on your Phone and pick up right where you left off when you return to your Device. Convert Your Own Documents In addition to all of the great reading material you can get from the Device Store, Crocus can also convert your own documents so you can read them on Device. You can e-mail Microsoft Word, TXT, HTML, PDF, or image files like JPEGs and GIFs to your dedicated Device e-mail address (found on the Settings page on Device or the Manage Your Device page on Crocus). We will convert the document into Device format and wirelessly deliver it directly to your Device for a fee or back to your computer for free. Currently, the conversion of PDF documents is an experimental feature on Device, and some complex PDF files might not format correctly on your Device.
Learning More This ends your brief introduction to just some of the capabilities on Device. The chapters that follow give a more complete overview of these and other features. Remember, you can always search on a particular feature or learn more about how to do a particular task by opening this guide and typing on the keyboard to activate Search. The Table of Contents for the Device User's Guide shows you all of the topics covered in this guide. You can get to the table of contents by pressing the Menu button from any page. Move the controller down until you underline "Table of Contents" and press the controller to go to it. You can also navigate by clicking an underlined word or words like the "Table of Contents" above. Underlined words indicate a link to somewhere else in the material you are reading, like a footnote, a chapter, or a web site. In the example above, when you navigate the controller over one of the underlined words, a hand icon will appear. Pressing the controller will take you to the beginning of the table of contents. Press the Back button to go back to where you were reading. If you bought your Device with your Crocus account, it is already registered with your account information and you are ready to go. When you go to the Home screen, check the top left corner of the screen to see if your Crocus name (the same one you see when you are shopping on Crocus) is shown. If it says "My Device" instead of your Crocus account name, you need to register your Device. To register, first press Home to display the Home screen and then press the Menu button. Select "Settings" and then select "register" on the page that appears to enter your Crocus user name and password. If your Crocus user name or password contains characters not present on the Device keyboard, press the Symbol key on the bottom of the keyboard to see a menu of the extended characters and use the controller to select the character you require. Alternatively, you can register your Device by visiting the Manage Your Device page on Crocus at: http://www._____.com/manageyourDevice You can leave the Device User's Guide, or any item you are reading, at any time by pressing the Home button. If you are done reading, you can put your Device to sleep by sliding and releasing the power button located at the top of your Device (you wake up Device the same way). Sleeping your Device will extend battery life and also lock all of the keys and buttons so you don't inadvertently press one while not using your Device. When your Device is asleep, you will see an image on the
screen. To turn off your Device completely, slide and hold the power switch for four seconds, then release. The Device screen will blank and the device will turn off. If you ever need assistance, you can use the Web or your telephone to contact us. See Chapter 9 for all of the Device Support contact options. * * *
CHAPTER 1 Getting Started with Your Device In the Welcome chapter of the Device User's Guide, you read about many of the things you can do with your Device. This chapter reviews all of the physical features of Device and covers the basics of using the Device buttons, menus, and keyboard. 1.1 Views of Device Front View The front of your Device contains the screen the keyboard, and the navigation controls. These features are illustrated below and explained in the list that follows. Volume controls — controls the headphone or speaker volume for audiobooks, background music, and text-to-speech. Previous Page button — takes you to the previous page in your reading material. Home button — shows content stored on your Device as well as content archived at Crocus. Next Page button — takes you to the next page in your reading material. To accommodate different ways of holding the Device, there is a Next Page button on both sides. Menu button — displays application and navigation choices that are related to the screen you are viewing. controller — selects an item or action when pressed down. Moves the on-screen highlight or cursor up and down when moved up and down. Moves the on-screen highlight or cursor side-to-side when moved left or right. Keyboard — use to enter search terms, notes in your content, URLs for Web sites, etc. Back button — retraces your steps on Device just like the back button on a web browser. For example, you can follow a link in a book and then press the Back button to return to your place. Symbol key — presents a menu of punctuation marks and symbols. Move the controller to select the desired symbol and press the controller to select.
Text key — changes the size of the text and number of words per line while you are reading and presents available controls for Text-to-Speech. Move the controller to select the optimal text size, words per line or a Text-to-Speech action. Back View The back of your Device contains stereo speakers for audio content. Top View Power switch — puts your Device to sleep, wakes it up, and turns your Device on or off. To put your Device to sleep, slide and release the power switch; a full screen image appears on the display. While your Device is asleep, other keys and buttons are locked so that you don't accidentally change the place in your reading. To turn your Device off, slide and hold the power switch for four seconds until the screen goes blank and then release. To wake up or turn on your Device, slide and release the power switch again. If your Device does not power on or is unresponsive during use, try resetting the device by disconnecting your Device from any power source, and then sliding and holding the power switch for 15 seconds before releasing. Tip: Your Device will also go to sleep by itself after ten minutes if you are not using it. If your Device had wireless on prior to going to sleep, it will continue to receive your regularly scheduled subscriptions while in sleep. Headphone jack — plug in headphones to listen to an audiobook, background music, or content read aloud through text-to-speech. Attaching headphones turns off the built-in speakers. Bottom View The bottom of your Device contains the charge indicator light and a micro-USB port. Micro-USB/power port — Attach the USB cord that came with your Device into the micro-USB/power port and into the Device power adapter*. Plug the adapter into a U.S.-compatible electrical outlet to charge the Device battery. You can also charge your Device by detaching the USB cord from the power adapter and connecting it to a computer’s USB port or powered USB hub. The charging status light will turn yellow, indicating that the battery is charging; you can continue to use
your Device while it charges. A green light indicates that the battery is fully charged. Check to make sure the power adapter is not covered by anything that could cause it to overheat. If the charge indicator light does not light up, make sure that the USB cable is fully inserted into your Device and the power adapter or USB port. If Device still is not charging, try another electrical outlet or USB port. To transfer content between your computer and your Device, connect the provided USB cable to the Device and to the computer's USB port. *Not all configurations ship with a power adapter. 1.2 Getting Around To get around on your Device, you use the buttons, menus, and the keyboard—all of which are explained here. Using the Buttons In the Welcome section you learned about the navigation buttons (Previous Page, Next Page, and Back). For an explanation of what each button does, see Front View of Device. Using the Menus In addition to the physical buttons, you also navigate Device using the menus. Device's menus are context sensitive, but they all work the same way. You use the controller to navigate within the menu and press the controller to select an item. The illustration below shows the Home menu; the bold line under "Shop in Device Store" indicates that it is ready to be selected.
The Application Menu You can display a menu from any screen on your Device. When you press the Menu button, it displays choices related to the screen you are viewing. The sample screen below shows you the screen you would typically see when you press the Menu button from within a book. 1.3 Entering Text To use the Device keyboard, most people find it easiest to hold the device in both hands, and use the tips of their thumbs to press the keys. Lowercase and Uppercase Letters To enter lowercase letters, press the appropriate letter key. To enter uppercase letters, hold down the Shift key and then press the desired letter key like you do on your computer keyboard. Alternatively, you can press and release the Shift key and then press the desired letter. Only the next letter will be capitalized. Numbers, Punctuation, and Symbols The number keys are located at the top of the keyboard. If you need a punctuation mark or a symbol that is not shown, press the Symbol key on the bottom row of the keyboard. You will see a menu of punctuation marks and symbols. Use the controller to choose the character you want and it will appear in your text entry box. 1.4 Status Indicators At the top of every screen, you also see Wireless and battery life status indicators to keep you in the know. Wireless Status Indicators The Wireless status indicator shows you whether the wireless radio is turned on or off, the signal strength of your Wireless service, and the connection speed. Here are the possible indicators and their meanings. The Wireless service is active and your Device has a strong signal. The more bars that are filled in with black, the stronger the wireless signal.
None of the bars are filled in. This means the wireless signal strength is too low to connect. You will not be able to connect to the Device Store, Basic Web, register your device, retrieve content from Archived Items, receive your subscriptions, or sync to furthest page read. The bars are outlined in grey. This means Wireless is checking for signal strength. This usually lasts less than 30 seconds. The Wireless service is turned off. You can turn on the wireless by pressing the Menu button, and using the controller to navigate to "Turn Wireless On." When you activate a menu, icons indicating the speed of your Wireless service appear to the left side of the signal bars. EDGE and GPRS wireless networks are slower than the 3G Wireless service. Device will automatically switch back to the faster 3G network when available. Battery Status Indicators You have your Device plugged into power and the battery is charging. The charge indicator light on the bottom of your Device also lights up. Note that if your Device is plugged into a low powered USB port such as those found on some keyboards or older computers, you will only derive enough charge to avoid depleting the battery but not enough to recharge it. The images above show the various states of the battery as it discharges. As you deplete the battery, less of the battery indicator will be filled in. The battery is too low to power the Wireless service. You must charge your Device battery to restore wireless service.
Activity Indicator Your Device is busy downloading new content, checking for new items, searching for an item, or loading a web page. * * *
CHAPTER 2 Getting to Know Device Content The Device Home screen gives you an overall picture of what you currently have on your Device. It shows you what has arrived recently, what you are reading, and where you are in your reading. It also allows you to remove content from your Device and to move content from Crocus to your Device. Read below for more details. 2.1 The Home Screen Your Home screen displays a list of all of your Device reading materials — books, newspapers, magazines, blogs, personal documents, as well as audiobooks. It serves as a personal bookshelf for all of your reading material, as well as a starting point to access other Device features. To display the Home screen, press the Home button on the right edge of your Device. By default, the Home screen lists all of the items that you have on your Device beginning with the most recently viewed (or acquired) items. Each type of content has a slightly different description and label. You can read more about the types of content available in Chapter 3. Device Books Books are shown by title and author. Below the book title are a series of dots which give you an approximation of how long the book is. Bold dots within the series indicate how far along you are in the book based on the last page you viewed. Periodicals Periodicals include newspapers and magazines that can be purchased as a single issue or as a subscription delivered on a regular basis. Your Home screen lists the most recent issue of each periodical you have on your Device. Older issues appear inside a grouping called Periodicals: Back Issues. Selecting the grouping takes you to a screen that displays the back issues of all the periodicals you have on your Device. Note that Device automatically deletes issues that are more than seven issues old to free up space for new content. An exclamation point next to an issue indicates that it will be deleted within 24 hours.
Blogs Blogs are subscription-based and appear on the Home screen as a single entry like books. As additional blog content arrives, it is added to the item and older entries are rolled off, much like a blog works on a computer. Audiobooks Audiobooks look similar to books, but they will be labeled in the Home screen as audio content. Like regular books, they have a progress indicator that shows where you are in the audiobook. Home Screen Features What you see on your Home screen varies depending on what reading materials you have purchased, and how you choose to show and sort this list. The screen sample and list below explain the features that you may find on your Home screen. Device name — the name of your Device. You can edit this name on the Settings screen.

CHAPTER 3 Reading on Device Device retains the best qualities of printed books, but adds many features that are available only through digital technologies such as word look up, changeable text size, and clippings. This chapter explains more about Device's reading features. 3.1 Types of Content There are many types of reading material available for your Device such as books, newspapers, magazines, and blogs. If you want to begin purchasing and downloading reading material, you can learn more in Chapter 5. You can also purchase audiobooks from AudioFile.com and even have Crocus convert and deliver personal documents to your Device. The different types of supported content are described below. Books Thousands of books - both popular and hard-to-find - are available in the Device Store. Once you buy a book, it usually arrives wirelessly in under a minute. Because you can't always judge a book by its cover, you can download and read a sample of most Device books for free. If you like it, simply buy it from within the sample and continue reading. You can learn more about this feature in Chapter 5. Newspapers The Device Store offers a selection of U.S. and international newspapers. Subscriptions are delivered wirelessly to your Device overnight so that the latest edition can arrive on your device every morning, and every newspaper subscription starts with a free trial. If you subscribe, your favorite periodicals are delivered wirelessly wherever you go, whether you are at home or on the road. If you are traveling outside of the US, you can still retrieve your newspapers from the Manage Your Device page at Crocus. You can learn more about this feature in Chapter 9. Magazines The Device Store offers an expanding selection of magazines to meet every interest. As with newspapers, all periodical subscriptions are delivered wirelessly and start with a free trial.
Blogs The Device Store offers over five thousand Device blogs, including up-to-the-minute news feeds and topical blogs. Blog categories include business, technology, sports, politics, culture, entertainment, humor, and science. Device blogs are sent to you wirelessly throughout the day, allowing you to keep current. Unlike traditional feeds, which often only provide headlines, Device downloads the complete feed onto the device so you can read them even when you are not wirelessly connected. Personal Documents In addition to purchased content, you can read your personal documents on Device. If you have files formatted as text, Microsoft Word, HTML, PDF, or image files like GIF or JPEG, you can e-mail the files as attachments to your Device e-mail address. Crocus will convert the files if necessary and send them back to your computer for free or wirelessly to your Device for a fee, whichever you prefer. Currently, the conversion of PDF documents is an experimental feature. Some complex PDF files might not format correctly on your Device. For more information on transferring, converting, and e-mailing your personal documents, see Chapter 8. Audiobooks You can download and enjoy thousands of audiobooks from AudioFile.com. Due to their large file size, audiobooks must be downloaded to your PC or Mac over your existing Internet connection and then transferred to Device over USB. Listen to audiobooks through Device's speakers or plug in your headphones for private listening. For more information on transferring and listening to audiobooks, see Chapter 8. Background Music If you like to listen to music while you use your Device, use your computer to transfer MP3 files to the "music" folder on your Device. When you select "Play MP3" from the Experimental page, each of the songs will play in the order they were added to your Device. 3.2 Content Formatting on Device When you read a book on Device, you will find that the formatting generally follows the printed version of the book. If the book has a table of contents, it will appear in Device. If the book has chapters, a preface, an illustrated cover, and so forth, these will be displayed.
While you are reading, each page displays a header showing the content title and/or issue date. The top of the page shows the battery and Wireless status indicators. Progress Indicator At the bottom of every page of your reading material, you can see where you are by glancing at the progress indicator. As you progress further into the content, you will see a solid bar growing longer. The progress indicator also shows structural marks within content such as chapters, articles, or bookmarks. In books, the progress indicator also shows you the overall percentage of the book you have read and a numeric location of where you are reading, so you can easily find a particular passage or reference it to your friends. Locations are the digital answer to page numbers. Changing the text size on Device also changes the page numbering, but with locations, you return to the same place every time regardless of the text size. Changing the Text Size You can adjust the size of the text to suit your preference. You have a choice of six sizes for reading content on Device. (You cannot change the text size on menus or on Device screens, such as the Home screen or the Device Store.) To pick the text size that you want to use while reading, follow these steps: 1. Press the Text key located on the bottom of row the keyboard. The text size choices are displayed as well as controls for Text-to-Speech. 2. Move the controller left or right to the new text size that you want to use (you see the new text size immediately). 3. Press the controller or the Text key to confirm your choice. Adjusting the Number of Words per Line You can change the number of words per line in the book or periodical you are currently reading to suit your reading preference. Adjusting the number of words increases or decreases the size of the margins. You may find you read faster with fewer words per line. Experiment to find what works best for you.
To pick the number of words per line you prefer, follow these steps: 1. Press the Text key located on the bottom row of the keyboard. The Words per Line choices are displayed below the text size choices. 2. Move the controller down to underline the Words per Line option. 3. Move the controller left or right to choose the option you want to use (you see the change immediately). 4. Press the controller or the Text key to confirm your choice. Note: You cannot change the number of words per line in PDF files or in Basic Web. Increasing the Size of a Picture If you’d like to see a larger size of a picture or image you encounter in your reading material, simply follow these steps to zoom temporarily on the image. 1. Use the controller to position the cursor over the picture. 2. An image of a magnifying glass with a plus sign will appear on top of the picture. 3. Press the controller to zoom the image. You will see a expanded view of the picture that rotates if necessary to maximize the use of the display. 4. Press the controller (or any key or button, except the Home button) to return to your content. 3.3 Moving from Place to Place There are several ways for you to get from place to place once you have opened your reading material. Most often you will turn pages using the Next Page and Previous Page buttons (described in Chapter 1). You can also get around inside your book or periodical by selecting locations from the item's Menu, clicking on links in the content, or by moving the controller left or right to advance to another article or chapter. Using the Menu to Get Around To go to the menu, press the Menu button when reading a book or periodical. You will have slightly different options depending on the content you are reading.

Cover — takes you to the cover page of the item you are reading. This is usually the cover of the book. Table of Contents — takes you to the Table of Contents for the item you are reading. Go to Beginning — takes you to the place in the book the publisher considers to be the beginning. This is usually the first chapter, but may be a foreword, the table of contents, or other point the publisher chooses. Go to Location… — displays at the bottom of the screen, a text entry box that allows you to specify a location to jump to in the content. Sync to Furthest Page Read — connects to Crocus and compares your current reading location with the one saved at Crocus. If you are further along in your book using another device, Device gives you the choice to go to the furthest page read. Book Description — connects to the Device Store and displays the detail page for the full book. Search This Book — displays the Search line at the bottom of the screen. Additional details on how to conduct a search are provided in Chapter 4. Add a Bookmark — bookmarks the page you are currently on. After selecting this option, the upper right corner of the book will be dog-eared and this menu option will change to "Delete Bookmark." Add a Note or Highlight — puts you into annotation mode. Additional details on how to create a note or highlight are provided later in this chapter. My Notes & Marks — displays a page containing all of your current item's notes, highlights, bookmarks, and clippings.
If you are reading a periodical or blog, you will see the following different options: Clip This Article — makes a copy of the entire article and adds it to your "My Clippings" file. Keep This Issue — designates the newspaper or magazine issue as one to be stored in your Device until you remove it. Navigating within a Periodical At the bottom of a newspaper or magazine you will see options for quickly navigating within an issue. When viewing a blog, you will see similar options for navigation.

View Sections List — takes you to the sections list of a newspaper or magazine when you press the controller. View Articles List — takes you to the articles list of a blog when you press the controller. Next Article — advances you to the next article when you move the controller to the right. By default, "View Sections List" for newspapers and magazines is highlighted and when you press the controller, a list of the sections will appear. If you are viewing a blog, "View Articles List" is highlighted and pressing the controller shows a list of the blog's articles. To navigate to a particular section, use the controller to underline the section title and then press the controller to select. To dismiss this view and return to where you were last reading in the magazine or newspaper, select "Close Sections List" located at the bottom of the screen. Selecting the number to the right of the section title will take you to a list of articles found within that section. To navigate to a particular article within a section or blog, simply move the controller to underline the article title and press to select. To dismiss this view, select “Close Articles List” located at the bottom of the screen.
Selecting Internal Links Your reading material may also contain links to other places in the document. For example, in many books, the table of contents is set up to link to the content pages. Links are easy to spot because they are underlined. To select a link: 1. Move the controller over the link. 2. The cursor changes to look like this: 3. Press the controller to select the link. 4. Device takes you to the linked location. 5. Press the Back button to go back to where you were. Your reading material may also contain external links that take you to locations on the Web (if you have Wireless turned on and are in range). Viewing a Table Your reading material may contain a large table that is not entirely contained within the screen. To see the rest of the table, move the controller up or down to bring up the cursor and then place the cursor to the left of the table. Move the controller to the right to scroll through the rest of the table. Reading Across Multiple Devices If you read the same Device Store book across multiple Devices (including Device for Phone), you’ll find Syncing makes it easy for you to switch back and forth. Syncing synchronizes the bookmarks and furthest page read among devices registered to the same account. Syncing is on by default to ensure a seamless reading experience for a book read across multiple Devices. If you would like to turn Syncing off, follow these steps: 1. Go to http://www._____.com/manageyourDevice 2. At the bottom of the page, look for “Manage synchronization between devices. Learn more.” Select “Learn more.” 3. Select “Turn Synchronization off.” Once you turn synchronization off, your books will still open to the last page read on that device, but Syncing will no longer sync bookmarks or the furthest page read
with other devices. If you would like to sync the book manually, press the Menu button and select “Sync to Furthest Page Read.” 3.4 Looking Up Definitions While reading a book or periodical, you can see a brief definition of a word using the Lookup feature. The Lookup feature uses A dictionary by default, but you can also purchase other dictionaries and make them your default dictionary using the Settings page. See Chapter 7 for details on how to change your default dictionary. The Lookup Feature To see the definition of a particular word in your reading content, follow these steps: 1. Move the controller up or down to display the cursor. 2. Move the controller in front of the word you want to look up. 3. If the word is found in the dictionary, a definition extract appears at the bottom of the screen. 4.

See Chapter 4 for more information. 3.5 Annotations and Clippings You can add annotations to all of your books and periodicals. Annotations can include notes you have written, highlights you've marked, and bookmarks you've created. Annotations are specific to the content you are reading, so each book or periodical has its own annotations. When you view the annotations, you see only those for the content you are currently reading. Device also gathers the annotations you've made across all your various books, magazines, newspapers, blogs, and personal documents and places them in the "My Clippings" file in your Home screen. See Using Clippings for more information on My Clippings. The list below explains the types of annotations:
Bookmarks — mark an entire page for later reference. Highlights — mark a passage on a page for later reference. Notes — add your thoughts about a passage. The sections below explain how to add annotations. Tip: All of your annotations on a Device book are backed up on Crocus servers in case you transfer your Device to another person or lose or break the device. When you download a previously annotated book from Crocus, your annotations and last location read will come down with it. When you open the book, you will be right where you were the last time you read the book and all of your annotations will be included. Note that your "My Clippings" file is not listed as a separate downloadable item. Using Bookmarks Although Device automatically saves your place whenever you stop reading, you may also want to add additional bookmarks. You can place a bookmark at any location, and you can have multiple bookmarks in whatever you are reading. When you add a bookmark, it is associated with the first location on the page.

You can search locally on Device or remotely at the Device Store, Wikipedia, or the Web. 4.1 Introduction to Search This section describes the types of searches that you can perform using Device and how to use search. Types of Searches Device supports several types of search as summarized below. Searching What You Are Currently Reading You can limit a search to only what you are currently reading. You enter your search term or phrase and Device searches in the body of the text in the current item.
Searching All Your Content You can alternatively search all the reading material that you have stored on Device, including books, newspapers, magazines, and other items. You enter your search term or phrase and Device searches in the body of the text, in the metadata (for example, the title or author), and in your "My Clippings" file. Additionally, Device also keeps and searches the metadata for the content you have stored on Crocus. Searching Remotely Device can perform remote searches in several different locations using Wireless. Each of these remote location searches are described in the final section of this chapter. See Searching the Device Store, Searching the Web, or Searching Wikipedia. Searching for Definitions You can limit a search to the dictionary. Device searches your default dictionary for definitions of the word you have entered.
Performing a Search To perform a search, follow these steps: 1. Type in your search term, the Search line will automatically appear. You can use whole words, and no distinction is made between lower and upper case. 2.

CHAPTER 6 Accessing the Web Your Device comes with an Experimental application called Basic Web, which is a Web browser optimized to read Web sites that are primarily text-based. It supports JavaScript, SSL and cookies but does not support media plug-ins (Flash, Shockwave, etc.) or Java applets. 6.1 Using Basic Web There are four ways to open the Basic Web browser. The two main ways are to select "Basic Web" from the Experimental screen or to follow a link from within your reading material. Many of the blogs that you subscribe to from the Device Store have links to Web sites. Selecting these links will open Basic Web and take you to the URL associated with the link. If you select "Basic Web" from the Experimental page, you will open to the last Web site you were viewing in your browser. One other way of accessing the Basic Web browser is to type in a word anytime from any book, blog, newspaper, or magazine you happen to be reading. When you begin typing, a search box will pop up at the bottom of the screen, and you can move the controller to the right and select "google" or "wikipedia" from the menu to search those sites directly for the word you typed. You can also enter a URL in the Search bubble from the Home page. Type the URL and move the controller to select “go to” and then press the controller. Entering a URL To enter the URL for a Web site, navigate to the top of the screen or press Menu and select "Enter URL" from the menu options. Begin typing when the cursor is located in the URL text field. When you are done typing, press the controller to view that Web site. The URL text field retains the last URL you entered in case you want to quickly edit the same address and submit it again. If you want to enter a secure site with an "https" address, use the backspace key to delete the automatically entered "://" and type the address you want. The URL text field is embedded in a navigation bar with a few other key shortcuts. To the right of the URL text field there is a button to stop loading or reload the current page. From there, move your controller to the right, and you can select the
Google search engine or Wikipedia for searching on the text entered in the URL text field. Above the URL text field are shortcuts to navigate back and forward one page, an indication of how much of the page has been loaded, whether you are viewing the page in Basic or Advanced Mode, and where you are in the web page. Using Bookmarks and Adding Your Own Bookmarks let you easily access a Web page without needing to type the address every time. When you open Basic Web from the Experimental page for the first time, you will see a list of default bookmarks with links to information such as daily news and weather. While browsing, you can also access the same list of bookmarks by selecting "Bookmarks" from the browser menu (just press the Menu button). To add a Web site to the Bookmarks page, simply navigate to the site that you want to bookmark and press the Menu button. Move the cursor to "Bookmark this page" and press the controller. Any new bookmarks that you select will be added to the existing list on your Device. You can remove a bookmark by going to your Bookmarks lists and moving the controller until the item you want to delete is underlined. Move the controller left to display “delete bookmark.” Press the controller and the site will be deleted from your Bookmarks. From the Bookmarks list, moving the controller to the right lets you edit the name of the bookmark. Using Next Page and Previous Page Most Web pages you find on the Internet will have more content than can be displayed on one page. Use the Next Page and Previous Page buttons to move through these pages. This is equivalent to using your mouse on a computer to move up and down through a Web page. You can also move the cursor down with the controller until it reaches the bottom of the page. Selecting Links, Buttons, and Boxes You can navigate the links on a Web page by using the controller to move the cursor around the page. Links in Basic Web are shown as underlined words, just like in the Reader. Below is a Web page with multiple selectable links. Using the controller, highlight the link you want to go to and press the controller. The browser will open that page.
If you want to enter information in an input field in a Web page to search that site, for example, you should move the cursor to that input field and begin typing. When you finish typing, press down on the nearby Go or Enter or Search button to retrieve the results. If there are radio buttons embedded within a Web page, you can change the input by maneuvering the cursor to the button you want to change and press the controller to "push" this button. Using History You can easily return to Web sites you recently viewed by pressing the Menu button and selecting "History." You will then see a list of recently visited Web sites to select from. As noted above, you can also use this list to add a site to your Bookmarks by moving the controller to the right. The Basic Web Menu The Basic Web menu contains other items you can select, many of which also appear in the Browser's navigation bar. To view the menu, press the Menu button when the Basic Web browser is on the screen. Turn Wireless Off — turns the Wireless connection off. If you turn the wireless off, you will not be able to use the browser. Shop in Device Store — takes you to the Device Storefront. Enter URL — takes you directly to the URL field where you can enter a web address to visit. Go to Top — returns you to the top of the current Web page. Bookmarks — displays your list of Web bookmarks. Bookmark This Page — adds the current page to the bottom of your list of bookmarks. History — displays your History page, which keeps track of the sites you have visited. Settings — displays your list of settings where you can change the options for Basic Web.
Use Advanced Mode — for complex Web sites. This mode squeezes pages down to fit the width of the Device screen. In this mode, JavaScript can also be enabled. When this mode is selected, the menu selection then changes to "Use Basic Mode" which optimizes the Device's browser for viewing most pages. 6.2 Other Features As you become more familiar with the Basic Web browser, the following topics may be of interest to you. Text Size Just like when you are reading a book or periodical, you can adjust the size of the text when viewing Web pages. See Chapter 3 for details on how to change text size. Downloading Files Some Web sites may have books or documents you can download and read on your Device. When you select these books or documents using Basic Web, you will be asked to confirm if you want to download these to your Device Home. The types of files you can download include Device content (.XYZ, .XYZ1), Unprotected Files books (.UPF, .UPF) and text files (.TXT). Basic Web Settings You can modify the default browser behaviors and perform simple maintenance procedures using Basic Web Settings. To display the Settings screen, press the Menu button while in the browser and then use the controller to select "Settings." Switch to Advanced Mode — switches between Basic and Advanced modes, when you view Basic Web. Clear Cache — removes temporary Internet files from your Device. Move the on-screen highlight to "Clear Cache" and press the controller to clear the cache. Clear History — removes cached Internet address entries from your Device. Move the on-screen highlight to "Clear History" and press the controller to clear this list. Clear Cookies — removes cookies from your Device. Move the on-screen highlight to "Clear Cookies" and press the controller to remove the cookies.
Enable Javascript — enables or disables Javascript to be executed on the pages you visit. Note that if Javascript is disabled, Web pages will load faster. The view mode must be set to Advanced Mode to use this feature. Disable Images — select whether you want images to appear when you load a Web page. Note that if you do not show images, Web pages will load faster. * * *

Based on your feedback, we may add or remove content from the Experimental page, so let your thoughts be known. * * * CHAPTER 8 Device and Your Computer You can download and read text-based content on your Device without using your computer. However, if you want to access audiobooks or MP3 files, you need to transfer them by connecting Device to your computer over USB. In addition, there are other tasks you can accomplish using your computer as described in this chapter. 8.1 Getting Started This section lists the requirements for connecting Device to your computer. The USB cable you use with your power adapter can also be used to connect your Device to a computer, so there is nothing additional to buy. System Requirements Both Macintosh and Windows users can manage Device files through the USB connection. When your Device is plugged into your computer, your Device will appear as a removable mass storage device. If your computer is Windows-based, you need to be using Windows 2000 or later. If your computer is a Macintosh, you
should be using Mac OS X 10.2 or later. With either computer, you must have an available USB port or an attached USB hub with an available port. Making the Connection To connect Device to your computer, follow these steps: 1. Plug the larger end of the USB cable into an available USB port or a powered USB hub connected to your computer. 2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the micro-USB port on the bottom of your Device.
The illustration below shows a Device and a laptop computer connected through the USB cable. When you are connected to your PC, your Device will go into USB drive mode and its battery will be recharged by the computer. Your Wireless service is temporarily shut off and you will not receive any of your subscriptions while in this mode. Also, your Device is not usable as a reading device while you are in USB drive mode, but will return right to where you were when you unmount the device from your computer. Tip: If you'd like to continue reading your Device while its battery is being charged by the computer, you will need to release it from USB drive mode by unmounting or ejecting the Device from the computer. Note that it is always best to use your computer to unmount or eject your Device before disconnecting the USB cable. Consult your computer manual for details on how to properly disconnect a USB storage device. 8.2 Transferring Files When Wireless is Unavailable Managing Your Documents If your Device is out of Wireless coverage, you can still add content to your device by connecting it to a computer to mount it as a USB drive. After your Device mounts on the computer, you will see three default directories or folders. The one called "documents" contains all of your digital reading materials like books, newspapers, your My Clippings file, etc. The "AudioFile" directory is for your audiobooks, and "music" is for your MP3 files. You can add Device-compatible files to these directories, and you can copy, move, or delete the files that are already there. The computer file formats that you can read or listen to on your Device are listed below: • Device (.XYZ, .XYZ1) • Text (.TXT) • Unprotected Files (.UPF, .UPF) • AudioFile (.AF, .AFX) • MP3 (.MP3) See Managing Your Orders for further information on transferring content you’ve already purchased to your device.
Tip: Mobilefiles files must have no Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection applied to be readable on your Device. If you purchased a Mobilefiles file from a Mobilefiles retailer, you will not be able to open the file on your Device. Transferring Your Clippings Your clippings are stored in a file called "My Clippings.txt," which is located in the "documents" directory. If you want to copy the clippings from your Device to your computer so you can edit them, e-mail a passage to a friend, or just archive your clippings, you can drag and drop the "My Clippings.txt" file onto your computer. Clippings and other annotations are described in more detail in Chapter 3. 8.3 Converting and Transferring Your Documents In addition to reading commercially available materials, you can have Crocus convert your personal documents into a Device-compatible format for reading on your Device. You can have the converted files sent wirelessly to your Device for a fee or to the e-mail address associated with your Crocus account for free.
Supported Formats for Conversion In addition to the file formats listed above, you can also convert other personal documents to read on your Device. The supported file formats are listed below: • Microsoft Word (.DOC, .DOCX) • RTF • PDF • Structured HTML (.HTML, .HTM) • JPEG (.JPEG, .JPG) • GIF (.GIF) • PNG (.PNG) • BMP (.BMP) • Compressed ZIP (.ZIP) Note: PDF and DOCX conversion is currently an experimental feature on Device. Some complex PDF and DOCX files might not format correctly on your Device. Tip: ZIP files are automatically opened up by the conversion service if you choose to compress your documents. Any enclosed files listed above inside the ZIP file will be converted and sent to your Device or computer as specified. Sending Your Documents for Conversion Each Device has its own unique e-mail address. When you e-mail personal documents to your Device, they are automatically converted to a Device-friendly format. To set up your Device e-mail address, follow the steps below: 1. On your computer, open your Web browser and go to http://www._____.com/manageyourDevice 2. Sign-in to your Crocus account. 3. In the Your Device(s) section, select "Edit Info." 4. In the Device E-mail Address text field, change the first part of the e-mail address to what you would like it to be. The @Device.com will automatically be appended. 5. Select "Update information" to save your changes and close the text entry box. Your Device will only receive converted files from e-mail addresses you have authorized on the Manage Your Device page to help prevent spam. The default
setting dictates that only items sent from your Crocus account e-mail address will be forwarded. You can add e-mail addresses to the list by visiting http://www._____.com/manageyourDevice In Manage Your Device, add the addresses of your friends, co-workers, or anyone else you would like to enable to send you files: 1.

APPENDIX Safety and Compliance Information Use Responsibly. Read all instructions and safety information before use to avoid injury. CAUTION! FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR OTHER INJURY OR DAMAGE. Maintaining Your Device Do not use your device or its accessories in rain, or near sinks or other wet locations. Take care not to spill any food or liquid in your device. If your device does get wet, unplug all cables, turn off the wireless (go to Menu, and choose Turn Wireless Off) and let the screen revert to the screen saver. Wait for the device to dry completely before sliding the switch to wake again. Do not attempt to dry your device with an external heat source, such as a microwave, oven or hair dryer. Clean the screen with a soft cloth; be careful not to wipe it with anything abrasive. When carrying your device in a bag or briefcase, keep the book cover on to avoid scratches. Don’t expose your device to extreme heat or cold. For example, don’t leave it in the trunk of your car in sub-zero or high-heat conditions. Servicing Your Device If your device needs service, consult only authorized personnel by contacting us through Customer Support listed at the end of the Tips and Troubleshooting section. Faulty service may void the warranty. Battery Safety The rechargeable battery in your device should be replaced only by an authorized service provider. For more information about batteries, go to: http://www. Headphone Safety Listening to audio at high volume for extended periods of time can cause hearing damage. To avoid this problem, consider the tips below: 1. Keep the volume down; 2. Avoid prolonged, continuous listening; and 3. Wear headphones that isolate the wanted audio from background noise.
Wireless Safety and Compliance Turn wireless off in areas where wireless use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger. Some specific situations are described below. In general, you should not use your device with wireless turned on any place you are not allowed to use a cellular device. Turn Off Wireless When Flying To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your device’s wireless service. If you have your wireless service turned off, you can use your device for reading once a crew member has said it is okay to use electronic devices. Be Careful Around Other Electronic Devices Your device generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency (RF) energy and, if not used in accordance with its instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications and electronic equipment. External RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating systems, entertainment systems and personal medical devices. While most modern electronic equipment is shielded from external RF signals, if in doubt, check with the manufacturer. For personal medical devices (such as pacemakers and hearing aids), consult with your physician or the manufacturer to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Steps to Minimize Interference If your device does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception (which you can determine by turning your device off and on), you can try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: reorient or relocate the receiving antenna for the radio or television; increase the separation between the radio or television and your device; connect equipment and receivers to different outlets; or consult the radio or television manufacturer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Watch for Signs There are some places where RF signals could constitute a hazard, such as health care facilities, and construction sites. If you are not sure, look around for signs indicating that two-way radios or cell phones should be turned off. Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy Your device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to RF energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the United States (FCC). The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the specific absorption rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg). Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR
is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base-station antenna, the lower the power output. The highest measured SAR value for this model device as reported to the FCC when held at least 0.39 of an inch (1.0 cm) from the body is 1.25 W/kg. SAR information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/ after searching on the FCC ID for this device. The FCC ID number for this device can be found on the back of the device. This device may exceed FCC RF exposure guidelines if positioned closer than 0.39 of an inch (1.0 cm) from the body while wireless is on. If you place this device on your lap or against your body while wireless is on, you should place at least 0.39 of an inch (1.0 cm) of non-metallic material between the device and your body or use a -branded book cover designed for the device to be sure that human exposure to RF energy does not exceed the FCC guidelines. 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. This device 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. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. This device meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission Guidelines and is certified with the FCC as the FCC ID number found on the back of the device.
