Getting Started

✓Using This Manual

For the English part of this manual, we will

be using the

ENG ➜SPN setting

Changing the Languages

When you turn the translator on for the first time,

you can translate English into Spanish (ENG ➜

SPN). You can change the language you translate

from, the language you translate into, and the lan-

guage of the screen instructions. Let’s learn how.

1. Press

LANG

In this example, the entry language (ING) is

the language you use to enter a word to be

translated. The translation language (ESP) is

the language you want to see the word trans-

lated into. The language of the abbreviations is

the language of the screen instructions.

2. Press

LANG

again to see more settings.

There are four settings: ENG ➜SPN, ING ➜

ESP, SPN ➜ENG, and ESP ➜ING.
