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.

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,

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!

Safety Instructions

This document contains important information on how to use your litl safely. Please read

these instructions carefully and take careful note of all warnings and cautions here, on the

device or in any other litl documentation. Please note the location of these instructions for

later reference.

• Keep this equipment away from humidity. Do not use your litl near water, for example,

near a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a

swimming pool.

• Place your litl on a stable flat surface during use. Breakage or injury to the user could

occur if the device slips or is dropped during use. 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. Never disassemble or

reassemble the screen under any circumstances.

• Always refer your litl for servicing to an authorized service center under the following

conditions:

• If the power cord or plug gets damaged or frayed.

• If liquid has been spilled into your litl.

• If your litl has been exposed to rain or water.

• If your litl does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed.

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

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.

Installation Restrictions

If an extension cord is used with this product, make sure that the total ampere rating of the

equipment plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the ampere rating of the

extension cord. Also make sure that the total rating of all products plugged into the wall outlet

does not exceed the rating of the mains fuse.

Never force connectors into jacks on your litl's casing. Do not push objects of any kind into

your litl through openings in the device casing. Inserted objects may come into contact with

components running at a dangerous voltage or short out parts that could result in a fire or

electrical shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on your litl.

Unplug this product from the ac wall outlet before cleaning. Normally only use a soft clean dry

cloth without chemicals or detergents for cleaning your litl. Do not use liquid chemical or

aerosol cleaners. You may use soft absorbent cotton with a little water (or isopropyl alcohol

when necessary) for cleaning your litl's screen or any external surfaces of your litl. Ensure

that no liquid enters your litl.

Note that the surface of the remote control scratches easily. Do not handle the remote control

with suntan lotion on your hands - it will fade the surface finish.
