1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this ICARUS Reader Go. This section provides an overview of the

ICARUS Reader Go and highlights a few basic features so you can start reading as quickly as

possible. You navigate the Go using the directional keys, Mode, Play, Zoom, Return, Next Page,

and Previous Page buttons.

The Go uses a high-resolution display technology called electronic paper. It works using ink just

like books and newspaper, but it displays the ink particles electronically. The page flash you see

when you turn the page is part of the ink placement process.

The electronic paper display is reflective, which means unlike most displays, you can read it

clearly even in bright sunlight. Also, electronic paper is much more power saving than traditional

LCD screens used in computers, as it does not require power to hold the ink in place.
