10 Turning on the Device 1. Press and hold the power button located on the top edge of the device. When you hear a beep, release the button. The green power LED will illuminate. The LED will remain illuminated while the device is on and while the device is in sleep mode. 2. Wait for the NuVoice® software to load. This will take about 45 seconds. 3. First time only: Review the NuVoice Software Agreement and select I Agree. The Exploration Wizard will load. 4. Once the Exploration Wizard loads, check the battery status level. For details, see “Charging the Battery” on page 11. Using the Touchscreen Important! Do not use sharp, pointed objects on the touchscreen. The touchscreen is designed to be used with your finger or the stylus that came with your device. This stylus is made specifically for a capacitive touchscreen. Anything else will harm your touchscreen and may cause your device to stop working. The touchscreen is a liquid crystal display (LCD). Should the display break (unlikely except in extreme circumstances) and you come into contact with the liquid crystal, wash and rinse your skin thoroughly. Be careful to avoid splintered glass. The touchscreen is very sensitive. Fingerprint smears, dust, grime, saliva, etc. will affect its performance. The screen also reacts to raindrops and extremes in temperature (condensation). To dust the touchscreen, use a soft, lint-free cloth. For heavier cleaning, use a slightly dampened, lint- free cloth and then dry the screen with another soft, lint-free cloth.

11 Charging the Battery Important! Always use the battery charger that came with your device. Any other charger may damage the battery. How long the battery lasts depends on how you use your device. You may be able to get up to 18 hours of use from one charge, or you may use your device so heavily that a charge only lasts about 10 hours. Check the battery status next to the battery icon in the status display area to quickly view the battery’s charge level. You can also check the Maintenance Menu’s Battery Menu for battery information. The time required to fully charge the battery varies depending on the charge level when the charge begins. When the device needs charging, locate the charging port on the back of the device and connect the battery charger. Charging a Dangerously Low or Dead Battery To fully charge a dangerously low battery will take about 10 hours. If the battery is totally dead, an additional two hours may be required. Please note that battery status next to the battery icon in the status display area will not show a charge for the first few hours of charging. A battery that is not fully depleted will require less time to recharge. Note: If you need to use the device immediately, plug in the battery charger and leave it plugged in while using the device. Best Practice Plug in your battery charger every night when you go to bed and any time you see the low battery warning and/or see the low battery LED come on. If you cannot plug in the charger overnight, it is best to power off the device to conserve battery charge. The Battery/Charging LED When the device is on and the charger is NOT plugged into the device: • The battery/charging LED is not illuminated. • When the battery has less than 15% (about three hours) of its power remaining, the battery/charging LED will glow red. When the device is plugged into the charger: • If the device is on: The battery/charging LED will glow yellow. When the device is fully charged, the LED will turn green. • If the device is off: The battery/charging LED will glow yellow. When the device is fully charged, the LED will turn off. Disposing of the Device or Battery Device Disposal: Please dispose of your device in accordance with your local, state, and/or federal electronic recycling laws. Battery Disposal: If the battery in your device needs to be replaced, dispose of the old battery in accordance with your local, state, and/or country regulations.

12 Cleaning and Disinfecting the Device If your device will only be used by one person, routine cleaning and disinfecting should be sufficient. If, however, more than one person will be using the device, take additional measures to clean and disinfect the device after it has been used by one person before allowing it to be used by another. Disconnect the charger and turn off the device before cleaning or disinfecting the device. Routine Cleaning and Disinfecting Important! Do not use solvents or abrasives or spray water or cleaner on the screen or case. Cleaning the Case Before cleaning the case or the display, turn the device off. Clean the case with a slightly dampened, lint-free cloth. Dry the case thoroughly with another lint-free cloth before turning the device on. Cleaning the Touch Screen The touch screen is very sensitive. Fingerprint smears, dust, grime, saliva, etc. will affect its performance. The screen also reacts to raindrops and extremes in temperature (condensation). To dust the touch screen, use a soft, lint-free cloth. For heavier cleaning, use a slightly dampened, lint- free cloth and then dry the screen with another soft, lint-free cloth. Cleaning Keyguard Frames, Keyguards, and TouchGuides All of these accessories can be removed from the case and washed in hot, soapy water. Dry them thoroughly before putting them back on the device. The best practice for regular cleaning is to dry accessories by hand, lay them on a dry towel, and let them air dry for about 5 minutes before placing them back on the device. Disinfecting To disinfect everything but the display, use a solution of vinegar and water (¼ cup vinegar to 1 cup water). Wipe the case (not the display) using a cloth dampened with this solution. Wash the keyguard frame, keyguard, and TouchGuide separately with the vinegar and water solution. Allow all equipment to air dry. Do not use vinegar and water on the display! What about drooling/saliva? Any saliva should be wiped up immediately, especially on the touch screen or around any of the connectors. Use a slightly dampened, lint-free cloth to wipe the device. What about spills, rain, or accidental immersion? If you spill liquid or any runny substance on your device; if you're caught in a downpour; or if the device is accidentally dropped in liquid, immediately dry the device as thoroughly as possible. Try using the device. If it does not work, call the PRC Service Department and tell them what happened. They may ask you to send in your device for servicing.

13 Disinfecting a Device and Accessories for Multiple Users Note: This section applies only when more than one person will be using the same device.

Make sure to clean inside all cracks and corners, and wipe more than once if necessary to keep the device wet for a minimum of three (3) minutes. 3. Allow the device and accessories to dry. Final Step: Wipe the touch screen 1. When the device and accessories are dry, wipe down the viewing area (device touch screen, TouchGuide, keyguard, etc.) with glass cleaner, so the screen doesn’t discolor. 2. Allow the equipment to dry.

14 Positioning or Removing the Stand Do not carry the device by the stand. When carrying the device, use the handle or carry strap. Positioning the Stand The stand provides two viewing positions. When latched against the back of the device, the stand provides a slight angle for viewing the screen when the device is sitting on a flat surface. When you need an additional angle, extend the legs of the stand away from the back of the device by doing the following: 1. Place the device face-down on a flat surface. 2. Rotate the stand away from the back of the device. 3. Allow the stand to latch in the fully extended position. Stand latched against the back of the device Stand latched in the fully extended position Removing the Stand If you do not want to use the stand, you can remove it from the back of the device. You can reattach it at any time. 1. Place the device face-down on a flat surface. 2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws from the holders at the top of each of the stand’s legs. 3. Pull the holders free and put the holders, screws, and washers in a safe place in case you need to use them later. Alternatively, you can reinsert the screws and washers in the holes in the device. Loose holders, screws, and washers could be a choking hazard. 4. Spread the legs apart to pull them out of the holes in the back of device. 5. Pull the stand free and put it in a safe place in case you need to use it later. Important! If you reattach the stand, be sure to secure the legs with the holders to prevent someone from pulling it loose accidentally. Screw and washer Note: A washer is located under each screw. Be sure to keep the washers with the screws.

15 Removing or Reattaching the Handle To remove the handle from the device: 1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the two screws that hold the handle in place. 2. Pull the handle away from the device. 3. If you are not going to mount a NuPoint module, it is important to attach the port cover to protect the mini USB connector.

18 Applying a Screen Protector If you plan to use a screen protector, you must first remove the device frame. To remove the frame, see “Removing or Replacing the Device Frame” on page 19. There are six screen protectors in the kit. Three have a matte finish and three have a luster finish. The matte finish offers the most glare resistance. Matte protectors can be identified by the small red square on the backing. 1. Turn your device off and lay it flat on a table. 2. Remove dust and fingerprints from the screen using a lint-free cloth dampened with water or flat- screen TV cleaner. Hint: Do not dry the screen before applying the screen protector. You may find it easier to smooth out the protector and remove air bubbles (step 7 below) if the screen is slightly damp. 3. Peel a screen protector from its backing. 4. Hold the protector along the edges, with the side that was against the backing now facing the screen. 5. Align one edge of the protector with one edge of the screen. 6. Press the protector onto the screen, adjusting the protector until it covers the screen along all edges. 7. Use the squeegee included to smooth out the protector and remove air bubbles and wrinkles. 8. Wipe the protector with a lint-free cloth to remove any fingerprints. Hint: Regularly wipe off the protector with a damp lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, smudges, etc. If the protector becomes too dirty, peel it off and replace it with a new protector.

19 Removing or Replacing the Device Frame Your device came with a frame mounted on it. If you need to remove or replace the frame, follow these instructions. Removing the Frame 1. If you are using a keyguard or TouchGuide, remove it from the frame. See “Removing the Keyguard” on page 23 or “Removing the TouchGuide” on page 24. 2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the four screws that secure the frame to the device—two on top and one on each side. 3. Grasp one side of the frame and pull it loose from the device. Important! Store these screws in a safe location in case you later decide to reattach the frame. Loose screws could be a choking hazard. Hint: You may want to use a flat-head screwdriver or similar tool to gently lift the side and bottom tab on the back of the device. 4. Grasp the other side of the frame and pull it loose from the device. 5. Pull the tabs on the top of the frame out of the slots on the device. 6. Pull the tab on the bottom of the frame out of the slot on the device. 7. Proceed to the next section, “Attaching the New Frame”. Screws Note: When you pull the other side loose, the top or bottom tabs (steps 5 and 6) may pull out at the same time.

20 Attaching the New Frame You must attach the device frame before you can mount a keyguard or TouchGuide over the screen. 1. Press one side of the frame onto the edge of the device. 2. Pull the other side into place. Note: The top tabs and/or bottom tab may snap into place as you pull on the side. Note: You can start with either the left side or the right side. 3. If necessary, pull the top tabs into place. 4. If necessary, pull the bottom tab into place. 5. Look along the inside edge of the frame along the top, bottom, and sides to make sure the rubber backing didn’t bunch up between the frame and the edge of the device.
