litl Easel Quick Start Guide Copyright © 2009 litl LLC All Rights Reserved Page 2 Welcome to the litl Easel Congratulations on purchasing the lilt Easel. Your litl Easel is different. More than ever, the web is why people use computers. That's why the litl Easel is a web computer, built on and for the Internet. Web computers use the web instead of locally stored data and software. And of course, they’re specifically designed for accessing websites and their content.
litl Easel Quick Start Guide Copyright © 2009 litl LLC All Rights Reserved Page 3 Getting started with your litl Easel To turn on your litl Easel, briefly push the power button on the right side of the hinge of the device. The litl uses so little power and runs so cool you can leave it on all the time, but if you do want to turn it off, push the same button and hold it in for a moment. You'll be prompted to choose a wireless network. Make sure you know the name of your network and the password. If you enable MAC filtering, use the hardware address on the bottom left to configure your router. When you reach the Do You Own a litl screen, click "No." You've reached litl Card View, the litl's home. Rearrange your set of cards by dragging them; delete them with the "X" in their top right corner. The blue litl key on the keyboard always returns you to this view. Blue cards are permanent litl cards: the Card Catalog, Family and Friends card, Mediawall and Settings cards. White cards are web cards. These are live web sites, displayed in a familiar Mozilla-powered web browser. Click on the gray New Web Card card to create a new one and navigate to a new site, e.g. yahoo.com, ebay.com, etc. Or, type a search term or URL in the Google-powered Search the web box. Black cards are what we call channel cards. Think of a TV or radio channel. Some good ones, including a specially designed litl alarm clock, a New York Times headline ticker, and an exclusive weather channel, are one click away in the Card Catalog. Family and Friends! Click the Family and Friends card. Click on the litl family icon and you'll activate the camera. Take a picture. Then go to Find Friends and type in Annie at litl. Click on her smiling picture and share the card with her. This puts you in touch with her for customer support of all kinds. (You can email support anytime at asklitl@litl.com or call 617-329-1416.) Commercial litl users will be able to select their own friends and family. Visit the card catalog! We've preloaded a mix of familiar sites and some exclusive offerings. To configure location for the clock or weather channel, click on "TimeZone/Location" in the Settings card. (You can also edit the location directly in the weather channel card.) Create your own channel! You can create a litl channel from any web page that has an RSS feed. Navigate to your favorite news site, blog, or flickr photostream and click "add channel" in your Web Card toolbar (picture). This will create a black channel card. Once you have a channel open, pick up your litl Easel and flip it over. (Picture) Now you're in easel view. Depending on the site you've chosen to create as a channel, you will probably see streaming headlines. To view your photos or fun sites such as icanhascheezburger.com,
litl Easel Quick Start Guide Copyright © 2009 litl LLC All Rights Reserved Page 4 go into Options and switch to slideshow mode. You can see more in easel mode by clicking the blue button on the hinge (now on your right side) and use the "rolodex" to view the other stories. Or just go directly to the scroll wheel to see all of your channels. The litl remote control functions the same as the scroll wheel and the blue litl button. To read further on certain stories, flip back into laptop mode. Have fun with photos through the Mediawall! Connect to flickr or Shutterfly under the Mediawall "options" button. You'll see your photos after a short time. Flip into easel mode. Your slideshow will appear in full-screen mode. Click the blue button on the hinge to open a menu of photos. Enjoy the big picture. Hook the litl up to your HDTV using an HDMI cable and enjoy all the features of your litl with the visual and auditory experience of your television and sound system. Photos look great in the larger-than-large mode! Have fun! Contact litl with any questions by emailing asklitl@litl.com or by calling +1 617.329.1416.

Make sure that the air vents on the base of your litl are not blocked by another object or any soft material such as carpet or blankets. Do not cover your litl during operation with any material that could reduce air circulation. • Your litl may be used in surrounding temperatures of 32º-104ºF (0º-40ºC) only. Do not place your litl near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or any apparatus that produces heat, including amplifiers. • Use your litl in a clean, non-dusty environment. Dust may cause an electrical short circuit inside the device causing a malfunction. The screen could be damaged if a short circuit is caused by metal particles. Do not operate your litl during a gas leak. • The base of the device may become quite warm during use and it is advisable not to place your litl in contact with bare skin or flammable materials. • Never put heavy objects on top of your litl or on the screen. • Do not operate your litl with any part of its casing opened. For safety reasons your litl's casing should only be opened by authorized service personnel.

Adjust only those controls that are covered in litl's documentation or instructions, since improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often
litl Easel Quick Start Guide Copyright © 2009 litl LLC All Rights Reserved Page 8 require extensive work by an authorized technician to restore the product to normal condition. • If you drop your litl or its casing has been damaged. • If your litl's performance noticeably changes - this indicates a need for service. • If your litl shows any obvious sign of breakage. • Always disconnect all cables and the power cord before servicing or disassembling your litl. To reduce the risk of injury from electrical shock or hot surfaces disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet and allow the internal system components to cool before touching. • Your litl contains an internal battery pack that is not user serviceable. Do not attempt to remove or disassemble the battery pack - it may release toxic materials, create an electrical or fire hazard or cause burns. Send your litl to an authorized service center when the battery needs to be checked or replaced. There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced incorrectly. Do not short circuit the battery. The replacement battery pack must be of the exact type as specified by litl. • The battery is easily damaged. Only charge the battery using a power adapter approved by litl specifically for use with this device. Using a different power adapter may cause a fire or explosion. • This product should be operated using the type of AC mains power specified on the power adapter label (100-240 Vac, 50-60 Hz). If you are unsure of the type of mains power available, consult your power company. • If your litl is not going to be used for a long time, disconnect it from mains power to avoid possible damage from voltage spikes. • Do not carry your litl in a bag containing small metallic or sharp objects, such as loose paper clips or staples, which could penetrate or enter the casing and cause short circuits. • Do not press on or touch the screen. • Never incinerate your litl or dump your litl in the municipal waste. Check regulations in your area concerning how to dispose of electronic products. • If the screen is broken and liquid crystal material spills out, do not ingest or inhale this material, and be careful not to allow this material to come into contact with your skin. If this liquid crystal material does come into contact with the skin or clothing, wash immediately with alcohol and then rinse thoroughly with water. If this liquid crystal material enters the mouth or eyes, rinse with copious amounts of water and seek medical attention. The screen contains a small amount of mercury gas. If the screen is damaged this gas may be released. Be careful not to inhale this gas and seek medical attention if this gas is inhaled.
