Connect the larger end of the charging cable (USB-A connector) to the included AC adapter.
Plug the AC adapter into a power outlet. The unit takes about three hours to fully charge. You
can use the unit for about 10 hours before it will need to be charged. If at any time you would
like to know how much battery power is available, navigate to the Battery item on the Main
Menu or press the braille number sign, dots 3-4-5-6 together with Space. The battery level will
appear on the display. Press the Enter key (dot 8) or N-Center to dismiss this message.
2.3 Powering On and Off
On the right side of the eReader, just behind the lanyard attachment point, you will find the
small, round Power On button. Once your device is charged, press the Power On button to turn
on your eReader. You will hear a sequence of three ascending tones and the word "starting"
will briefly appear, followed by the words “NLS eReader Zoomax.” Then the word "starting" will
reappear with a tactile loading animation while the unit is coming on. When ready to use, you
will hear another sequence of three ascending tones and you will see the words “Book Reader”
on the display. You will be at the top of the Main Menu and your device is ready to use.
To turn the unit off, press the Power Off button which is just behind the Power On button. You
will hear a sequence of descending tones and the Off Menu will appear. Press a cursor routing
button over Power Off. The display will show the words "power off" and incrementing numbers
will indicate the shut down progress.
Alternatively, from the Main Menu, press the J-Down key or the letter p to reach the Power off
menu item, then press Enter. You will see a short menu, Yes—power off and No—do not power
off. To power off, press Enter (dot 8) or J-Center when the Yes—power off item is displayed.
2.4 Suspend Mode
To preserve the battery, the eReader will go into Suspend mode after ten minutes of inactivity.
You can change this amount of time in settings. You can also manually put your eReader into
Suspend mode by selecting Suspend from the Main Menu or by tapping the Power Off button
on the right side of the unit and pressing a Cursor Routing button over the word “Suspend“ on
the display. To wake the unit from Suspend, press the Power On button. After 2.5 hours in
Suspend mode, the unit will turn itself completely off.
