1 - DISCOVER YOUR φBook BOX
φbook box contains the following elements:
• A
φbook
• A micro USB cable
• An instruction manual
2- TRANSFER YOUR MEDIA ONTO YOUR
φBook IN THREE STEPS
9 Step 1: connect φbook to your computer (PC or Mac)
φbook is compatible with Windows and Mac OS. Connect φbook to your computer
with the USB cable provided.
The mini USB cable must be connected to the port located at the bottom of
φbook and
the USB port 2.0 in your computer.
The cable must plug in easily, never force it.
• On a PC: upon connecting, a message will appear on your screen: «New Hardware
Located». Windows will automatically install the necessary driver.
• On a Mac: a ‘removable disk’ icon titled «PHIBOOK» appears on your Ofce.
φbook is now recognised as an external storage device.
9 Step 2: transfer your media les onto
φbook
φbook was created to watch videos, view photos and play music les.
Access the
φbook device through your computer by clicking on the φbook icon on
your Ofce (MacOS) or on Windows by clicking on «This PC»,
φbook. Four folders have
already been created for your les: Video, Photo, Music, Noplay.
Attention: Do not create any other folders on
φbook. The reading of your
media could be compromised.
Make sure your media is in a format that’s compatible with
φbook (There are lots!
See compatibility table P.5)
The Noplay folder allows you to put media that you don’t want to be included with the
media that will be played (rushes, non-essential photos). The content of this le will be
saved but not played.
φbook is designed to play videos as a rst priority. Photos and music les are played at
the same time in the form of a slideshow.
Note : if the Video folder is empty, φbook will automatically start off in slideshow mode
using the Photo folder. If music les have been added to the Music folder, the slideshow will
play the chosen background music.

!
!
We recommend you use images smaller than 3MB for a smooth slideshow.
The transfer of large les onto
φbook (particularly video) can take time. This is linked to
the speed of the USB 2.0 connection.
Note: In certain very rare cases depending on the software used, a video le converted
into one of these formats can turn out to be partially incompatible and provoke a reading
error.
The solution to this problem is deleting the corrupt le from the folder of
φbook, carrying
out a new conversion, and re-transferring the le with a new name in the VIDEO folder
of
φbook.
Ranking of media les: the reading order of the les is numeric-alpha. In each directory,
φbook will read rst the les according to the rst character, then the second, ... starting
with the numbers (00, 01, 02, ...) then the letters A, B, C, D ... This allows to order according
to your preference reading by renaming the media les..
9 Step 3: disconnect φbook from your computer
PC disconnection: click on the ‘Remove the device and eject the media’ shortcut on the
bottom right corner of the screen and select ‘safely eject the device’. Disconnect
φbook
from the USB cable and you can enjoy your videos, photos and music.
Mac OS disconnection: click on ‘Eject PHIBOOK’. Disconnect
φbook from its USB cable
and you can enjoy your videos, photos and music.

3- RELIVE YOUR UNFORGETTABLE MOMENTS
The display of your videos and/or photos is activated after opening

You can regulate the volume of the integrated speakers with the and buttons located
on the bottom right of the screen. You can momentarily stop the display by pressing the
Play / Pause button ( ) and start again by pressing the same button.

4- SAVING YOUR MEDIA (IMPORTANT)
φbook is a mobile media player. As such, it is susceptible to damage from improper use
or an accidental fall.
We recommend you systematically save any photos, videos or music as soon as possible
on your computer or any durable and trustworthy data support system. It’s easy!
When you connect
φbook to your PC (Windows or Mac), it is identied by your computer
as an external storage device. All you need to do is copy / paste or drag / drop your
precious les into the ‘Ofce’ of your PC or Mac.
5- RECHARGING THE INTEGRATED BATTERY
φbook includes an integrated rechargeable battery which allows it to function
independently. The life of the internal battery has been rened so you can make the most
of
φbook. In the majority of cases, this battery will have a maximum life from 30 minutes
to 2 hours (depending on your model). But of course this is variable and depends on
numerous settings.
The battery recharges automatically when
φbook is connected to the USB port of your
computer. You can also recharge
φbook more quickly using a standard USB power
adaptor (not included in the box).
The battery status appears on the screen of
φbook when it is put on charge. The battery
is completely charged when the four coloured sectors (on the screen) are lit up and
stationary.
A reminder of the charge status, symbolised by a green battery, appears briey at the
start of a video or slideshow, at the top right hand of the screen.

6- MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
φbook only requires the minimum amount of maintenance. To preserve it in its original
state, it’s recommended you follow these basic instructions:
To prolong the life of your integrated battery, completely empty and recharge
φbook
around once every three months.
If necessary, use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the screen. Do not use aerosol sprays,
solvents, alcohol or abrasive products near
φbook.
7- USAGE AND STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
φbook meets strict manufacturing requirements. However, as an electronic device, it
must be handled with the standard precautions for this type of device.
φbook must not be exposed to rain, water or be close to a source of humidity.
If your share your memories with your loved ones, don’t forget that tables with full glasses
constitute ‘risky terrain’ for
φbook.
A temperature between 10ºC and 25ºC, and a humidity rate of 50-70% is recommended
for the storage of
φbook.
The capacity of the battery is strongly diminished by low temperatures, which will have an
impact on the life of
φbook.
Strong sunlight and high temperatures are the enemies of
φbook. Avoid leaving φbook
in direct sunlight, under the window of a building or a car.
