Charging the Battery
The E-Reader Plus is powered by a 7.4V Li-Polymer rechargeable
battery (1800mAh).
To charge the battery, plug the mains adaptor in to a mains
outlet and connect to the E-Reader using the DC Power cable
(USB to DC Input connector) provided.
Please take care to ensure the DC Input Connector is connected
to the DC Input Jack, shown below.
To achieve the optimum performance from your battery we
recommend a charge-time of 12 hours for the first, second and
third charges, fully discharging the battery between each
recharge. This will extend the battery life as well as provide
longer playback / viewing times (subsequent full charges will
need about 5.5 hours).
Discharge time of the battery will depend on the media being
used, once fully charged the E-reader Plus will give typical
media playback times as shown below:
eBook playback: 7 hours
Video playback: 5 hours
Audio playback: 30 hours
Charging time: 5.5 hours
Re-charging cycles: 400

The 1GB internal flash memory allows you to copy and store up
to 1,000 eBooks with further memory expansion available using
the SD card slot (up to 8GB SD / SDHC).
Using the USB to Mini USB cable provided, connect the device to
your computer. Once connected the device will display an image
showing connection has been made and your computer will open
a window showing the device as a ‘Removable Disk’. Click on
the ‘Open Folder to View Files’ option.
When an SD card is not inserted in your device one ‘Removable
Disk’ window will open, select this storage location and open.
When an SD card is inserted two ‘Removable Disk’ windows will

You will also be able to find the device by going through ‘My
Computer’ and selecting the relevant removable disk.
Once the chosen storage location has been opened you can
simply ‘copy and paste’ or ‘drag and drop’ files stored on your
computer to the device.
The device differentiates between the file types (eBooks, music
etc.) that have been stored and will arrange these files
accordingly, i.e. eBooks will be found in the eBook directory and
music files will be found in the music directory.
To disconnect the device from your computer, click the ‘Safely
Remove Hardware’ icon located in the toolbar at the bottom of
the screen and then select the relevant ‘Safely remove USB
Mass Storage Device’ from the menu. Once the device has been

depending on your operating system.
