PageFlip Cicada Wireless Bluetooth Pedal User Guide PageFlip Cicada User Guide 9. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Does the PageFlip Cicada work with the Amazon Kindle? No. The Kindle hardware does not support Bluetooth or include a USB port. However, Kindle software for the PC and Mac works with the pedal. Does the PageFlip Cicada work with the Apple iPad? Yes. However, the pedal only works with software that accepts keyboard commands. Currently, this is limited to the MusicReader, ForScore, and unrealBook apps. The list of compatible software is sure to grow. Please check www.pageflip.com for updated information. Where can I find digital sheet music to download? The best source for free classical music is the International Music Score Library Project (IMSLP) at imslp.org. Extensive collections of popular music can be found at freehandmusic.com, sheetmusicdirect.com, musicnotes.com, sheetmusicscore.com, or everynote.com. CD Sheet Music from Hal Leonard (halleonard.com) is a great source of scanned classical music conveniently available on CDs. Search the internet for “sheet music download” to get updated results. How do I import my books or sheet music into my computer? You must scan the physical pages. For best results, try to avoid the shadows near the book spine by using a flatbed book scanner such as the Plustek OpticBook 3600. Visit www.plustek.com for more details. Why the name "Cicada"? The pedal derives its name from the cicada insect. The sleek design of the dual pedal is inspired by the graceful shape of the cicada wings. Please visit us at www.pageflip.com for additional information, including manuals and videos. Please send email to support@pageflip.com with any technical questions or comments. PageFlip, Inc. 21 www.pageflip.com PageFlip Cicada User Guide 9. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS PageFlip Cicada User Guide Why did PageFlip Cicada automatically shut down? Automatic shutdown occurs after two hours of inactivity. Tapping a pedal will make the PageFlip Cicada attempt to re-establish the Bluetooth connection. This may take a few seconds. If the computer continues to be unresponsive to the pedal, press the RESET button. Legal Notice What do I do if Bluetooth pairing is unsuccessful? Delete the device displayed in the host and press the RESET button on the pedal. Initial discovery mode may take up to 30 seconds. Follow your computer’s instructions on how to pair Bluetooth devices. Does PageFlip Cicada work with computers that have no Bluetooth? Yes, only after you plug in the included USB Bluetooth micro adapter (dongle) into the computer’s USB port. Follow your computer’s instructions for adding Bluetooth devices.

Contents c 2011 PageFlip Inc. Does PageFlip Cicada turn pages at timed intervals? No. PageFlip Cicada turns a page only when the user triggers it by tapping a pedal or activating an external switch. When is the Autorepeat mode appropriate? Turn on autorepeat if you are interested in fast browsing or scrolling. Turn off autorepeat to avoid multiple pages from turning at once if you inadvertently press the pedal too long. It is therefore best to turn off autorepeat during a performance. PageFlip Inc. Woodmere, NY 11598 USA www.pageflip.com support@pageflip.com Version 1.0 January 1, 2011 Which software is known to work with the PageFlip Cicada? PageFlip Cicada works with any software that uses PageUp/PageDown, arrow keys, or mouse clicks to advance through the electronic document. This includes any PDF reader, Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, web browsers, image viewers, and more.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FCC/CE Notice 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. Why are the LEDs not lit when I turn on the PageFlip Cicada? Make sure to install two fresh AA batteries in the pedal. Alternatively, the PageFlip Cicada may be connected to a computer’s USB port via a miniUSB cable (not included), or it may be plugged into the wall using the supplied univeral AC adapter. Do not use any other AC adapter as that may damage the unit. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. PageFlip Cicada FCC ID: XKEPFCICADA01 This product conforms to the EMC-Directive 89/336/EEC and to the Low Voltage Regulation 73/23 EEC. Safety Notice / Warning Please read the following safety instructions carefully to safely and correctly operate this device. PageFlip assumes no responsibility for property damage or personal injury. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Do not place any container filled with liquid on the device. Do not use a voltage other than the specified one. Do not plug AC Adapter into socket with wet hands. Always hold case before removing AC adapter plug. Safely install and apply power before operating device. Never insert your hand into device while operating it. Do not disassemble or modify the device. PageFlip, Inc. www.pageflip.com FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What is the current pedal mode? An LED is lit next to the current mode setting of the pedal. Simply press a different mode button to change the setting. The LED will turn off once the PageFlip Cicada enters sleep mode after two hours of inactivity. Why is the pedal not turning pages? Confirm that the device "Dual Pedal" is paired to your computer and that the correct pedal mode is selected. Some software may require arrow keys while others may require PageUp/PageDown or other keystrokes. Try several modes until you find one that works. Note that if you use unrealBook on the iPad, the app toolbar must be hidden (by tapping the screen) in order for the app to respond to the Up/Down Arrow keys. What are the different operating conditions signified by the LED? A solid LED means that the pedal is plugged into a power source. If the RESET button is pressed, the pedal enters Bluetooth discovery mode and all the LEDs flash in sequence. The LED flashes once per second after the pedal is turned on and is attempting to establish a Bluetooth connection with a paired device. The LED flashes once every four seconds to signal that the pedal is already paired. Repeated bursts of three quick flashes signal a low-battery condition.

WELCOME WELCOME PageFlip Cicada User Guide Congratulations on your purchase of the PageFlip Cicada Bluetooth pedal! This product was designed to meet the needs of people with disabilities, musicians, and avid readers who struggle with the challenge and inconvenience of page turning. PageFlip Cicada works exclusively with digital documents, web pages, and image collections on any Windows, Mac, or Linux computer. By simply tapping the dual pedal of the PageFlip Cicada, the digital content can now be flipped or scrolled in either the forward or reverse directions for convenient hands-free reading. The PageFlip Cicada emulates a standard keyboard and works with any software that uses keyboard strokes to navigate through digital files. For added versatility, the user may select among five modes for the dual pedals: PageUp/PageDown, Left/Right arrow, Up/Down arrow, Left/Right mouse click, and Left-click / Enter. Changing modes is as simple as pressing a button. No software installation or programming is required. The PageFlip Cicada is ideal for musicians who can now keep their hands, and their focus, on their instruments rather than struggle with turning sheet music. It is also ideal for people with disabilities who can more easily tap a pedal than attempt to manipulate pages of a standard book or magazine. The convenient mode buttons maximize versatility for use with a wide variety of software to scroll, browse, and navigate through eBooks, PDF files, Word, Powerpoint, web pages, and images. 7.

The autorepeat function applies only to the following pedal modes: PageUp/PageDown, Left/Right arrow, and Up/Down arrow. This package contains the following items. If any items are missing, please contact the dealer where you purchased the product. 1. 2. 3. 4.
