Your BOOKMAN 770 is equipped with

several special features that many, but

not all, BOOKMAN books use. To

learn if you can use the special fea-

tures with a particular BOOKMAN

book, read its User’s Guide.

Headphone Jack: The headphone

jack is designed for 3.5 mm, 35 ohm

impedance stereo headphones. Cau-

tion: Monophonic headphones will not

work with this BOOKMAN model.

Volume Control: The dial located

under the headphone jack controls the

volume of the speaker or headphones.

Serial Port: The serial port allows cer-

tain BOOKMAN books, when Franklin’s

BOOKMAN PC-Connect serial cable is

connected to your BOOKMAN, to trans-

fer data to a personal computer (PC).

Warning: Using a serial cable other

than the one obtained from Franklin may

damage your BOOKMAN and/or PC.

Franklin’s serial cable is specifically de-

signed for the transfer of data between

BOOKMAN and a PC.

Speaker: The speaker is located on

the back of your BOOKMAN near the

serial port. For best results, do not

cover the speaker with your hand.

Getting Started

Warning: Never install or remove a

book card when your BOOKMAN is

turned on. If you do, information that

you entered in any installed book cards

may be erased. However, information

saved in your BOOKMAN Sidekick will

not be erased.

2. Turn your BOOKMAN over.

3. Align the book card tabs with

the notches in a card slot.

4. Press the book card until it

snaps into place.

Installing Book Cards

Installing Batteries

Your BOOKMAN model is powered by

two AAA, 1.5-volt batteries. Here is

how to install or replace them.

1. Turn your BOOKMAN over.

2. Remove the battery cover on

the back of your BOOKMAN

by compressing its tab with

your finger and then lifting

the cover.

3. Install the batteries as shown

on the diagram in the battery

compartment.

4. Replace the battery cover.

➤

When the Batteries Are Low

An on-screen warning message will

appear when the batteries in your

BOOKMAN Sidekick are low on

power. This message does not

mean that any of the information en-

tered in your BOOKMAN Sidekick

is in danger of being lost or erased.

However, you may not be able to

create new entries until fresh

batteries are installed.

➤

Removing Book Cards

Warning: When you remove most

book cards, information that you en-

tered is not saved in the book cards. If

you change the batteries or reset your

BOOKMAN, that information will be

erased.

Selecting a Book Using the Color Keys

The red, green, yellow, and blue keys

on your BOOKMAN change their func-

tions according to which book you are

using.

When you are using the built-in book,

the color keys function as labelled on

the BOOKMAN keyboard. When you

are using a book card, the color keys

function as labelled on that book card.

your BOOKMAN, you can select

which book to use.

2. Press CARD.

These are sample books.

3. Press or to highlight

the book you want to use.
