ECTACO Partner®EA B-3 User Manual

Tap the screen with the supplied pointing device called the stylus which, when not

in use, is conveniently kept in a special slot at the side of the device’s back panel.

♦Note: If, for some reason, using the stylus does not provide the desired effect,

you may need to recalibrate the screen (see Launcher Menu on page 13).

ECTACO Partner®EA B-3 comes with a hard plastic cover to protect the screen

when the device is not in use. To attach the cover, insert the pegs on the cover into

the holes on either side of the device. To detach the cover, gently snap the pegs

out of the holes. We recommend that you keep the cover attached when you are

not using your ECTACO Partner®EA B-3.

Power Supply

ECTACO Partner®EA B-3 is powered by two AAA (LR03) batteries. If the battery

power runs too low, the unit will start up when you press the On/Off button but will

then shut off automatically. When this happens, please replace the batteries

immediately to avoid the risk of losing user data.

♦Note: Make sure the battery is inserted in the battery compartment before

connecting your device to a PC.

How to replace the batteries

•Make sure the device is not on a hard surface – if the On/Off button is pressed

accidentally, user data may be lost.

♦Note: To avoid data loss, never try to remove the batteries from the device

when the power is on. If you experience difficulties turning the device off, press

the RESET button on the back of the device and restart the system.
