GETTING STARTED

General View

The general view and external appliances of ECTACO SAT-1600 are shown below.

Display

ECTACO SAT-1600 features a large-size touch screen with efficient windows-

driven graphic interface.

Touch-screen elements

By tapping certain types of screen items – a push-button or pre-highlighted text –

you perform an action associated with this item. In most windows or dialog boxes,

tap Done to accept changes or Cancel to exit without saving any changes.

ECTACO SAT-1600 SAT-Words Tutor User Manual

Stylus

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.

The stylus is especially useful for operations, which cannot be performed by the

control wheel, for example, highlighting an arbitrary text fragment or a multi-word

translation in a dictionary entry.

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

you may need to recalibrate the screen (see page 12).

Screen backlight

This feature allows for easy viewing of the device screen regardless of an external

light source.

ECTACO SAT-1600 SAT-Words Tutor User Manual

•When the device is on, press and hold the On/Off button for approximately two

seconds to turn the backlight on.

•Press and hold the On/Off button once again to turn the backlight off.

Cover

ECTACO SAT-1600 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 SAT-1600.

Power Supply

ECTACO SAT-1600 is powered by two AAA (LR03) batteries. Please insert the

batteries before connecting your device to a PC. Use the universal indicator to

check the current condition of the batteries (see page 11). Replace the batteries

when the indicator runs low.

♦Note: 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.

How to replace the batteries

•Press the On/Off button to turn the device off.

•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.

•Remove the battery compartment cover by sliding it away from the device.

•Remove the used batteries and replace them with new ones.

♦Note: Do not mix old and new batteries.

•Make sure to place the batteries according to the polarity marks (+ -) inside the

battery compartment.

•Put back the battery compartment cover by sliding it toward the device. Make

sure the cover sits in place properly.

ECTACO SAT-1600 SAT-Words Tutor User Manual

♦Note: You have one minute to replace the batteries without risk of losing the

data stored in RAM. Do not exceed the one-minute limit! Neither the

manufacturer nor the dealer may be held responsible for the loss of user data.

MultiMedia Card

ECTACO SAT-1600 MultiMedia Card is included in the standard package. The

card contains the operating system and a set of applications described in the

Applications chapter (see page 17).

•Please insert ECTACO SAT-1600 MultiMedia Card into the MMC slot before

you turn the device on.

♦Note: Always make sure the device is turned off before installing or removing

the MMC. Never insert or remove the card when the device is on. Use the

On/Off button to turn the device off.

Installing MMC

•Put your thumb on the MMC slot cover and slide it off.

•Slide the MMC into the compartment with the contacts facing up and the label

facing down. Push the card gently until it clicks into place.

•Snap the cover back on.

•Turn the device on.

The operating system and program files will be installed on your ECTACO SAT-

1600. This will take about 2.5 minutes. When the installation procedure is

completed and the screen is calibrated, the Setup application will be shown.

•Set the desired preferences (see page 46 for details) and tap Done.

If the MMC is not installed, a brief tour will be shown.

ECTACO SAT-1600 SAT-Words Tutor User Manual

♦Note: The tour appears only after the device is left without battery power for

more than five minutes or when a hard reset is performed.

•Tap the introductory sentence in the language of your choice to view the tour.

•To skip pages in the tour, tap anywhere on the screen.

•Turn the device off and insert the MMC as described above.

Removing MMC

•Turn the device off by using the On/Off button.

•Remove the MMC slot cover.

•Push the MMC in slightly.

You hear a click and the card pops out.

•Slide it out and snap the cover back on.

Initialization

The initialization routine is started:

•when ECTACO SAT-1600 is turned on for the first time;

•when you remove the batteries (e.g. when replacing them) for longer than

five minutes;

•after the system has been reset with the RESET button – see Soft Reset

and Hard Reset below.

Soft Reset

Occasionally, ECTACO SAT-1600 may need to be reset to clear its memory. In

most cases, a soft reset is sufficient. The soft reset does not affect programs or

user data.

•Tap to go to the Main Menu.

•Tap to open the Launcher Menu.

•Tap Restart system on the Launcher Menu.

•In the Ready for Restart screen, tap Restart Now.

ECTACO SAT-1600 SAT-Words Tutor User Manual

♦Note: On completion of the reboot, you will be prompted to conduct the touch-

screen calibration, which configures the proper spacing and alignment of the

touch-sensitive screen elements (see page 12).

If the Launcher Menu is not accessible, use the blunt end of a paperclip to gently

press the RESET button located on the back of the device.

♦Note: The RESET button is located on the back of the device and can be

accessed with any thin object like a paper clip. Never use a needle or a pin

since it can damage the device.

Hard Reset

In the rare event that the data on the screen is corrupted, a program is not

responding properly, or you forget your password, you will need to perform a hard

reset. After a hard reset all user data will be lost. Synchronize your data often so

that you always have a copy on your PC.

•To perform the hard reset, keep the On/Off button pressed while pressing the

RESET button.

Control Pad

The Control Pad is the area below the touch-sensitive screen where you can tap

icons, write characters, or use the scroll area to control ECTACO SAT-1600.

Control Pad Elements and Their Functions

Launcher icon Switch to the Main Menu.

Menu icon Show the available menus. Menus shortcuts, where

available, are shown to the right of the menu items.

Handwriting area Input letters (in the Letter input area), input punctuation

marks (in the Punctuation input area), input numbers (in

the Number input area).

Scroll area Scroll the screen content.
