We wish you a lot of fun with TrekStor eBook Reader Pyrus 2

LED. Please read the following instructions carefully so that you

can become acquainted with the functions of this product and

its use.

E Ink® technology

When using the E Ink® technology, the illustration of text or

pictures is adopted by a "E Ink®". The display is passive: It does

not light as conventional LCDs and consumes energy only

when loading or flipping a page. This achieves a very long

battery life time. Once set "E Ink®" remains until the next image

build-up, i. e. the last displayed page remains visible, even if the

eBook Reader is already switched off. A "burning-in" into the

display is not possible with E Ink®.

Your eBook Reader Pyrus 2 LED features integrated warm light

LEDs that are scalable in different stages, to allow relaxed

reading in all light conditions.

Current product information can be found at the TrekStor

website http://www.trekstor.de.

Other products and accessories are available at www.trekstor-

onlineshop.de.

section 2 of this manual!

Use the device only for its intended purposes (see Chapter 3).

The manufacturer accepts no liability for any damage resulting

from nonintended use of the device. Furthermore, the

manufacturer accepts no liability for damaged or lost data and

all consequential damages.

The manufacturer retains the right to continually improve the

product. These changes maybe made without being directly

described in these operating instructions. For this reason, the

information provided in these operating instructions may not

reflect the current state of the art.

2 Instructions for Safety and Use

a Attention: Do not use or charge the device if the battery

is damaged or leaks.

a Attention: Do not cover the device during operation or

while charging it. It can lead to overheating.

a Attention: Switch off the device immediately if it gets

wet. Let check your device for safe operation before

using it again.

9

d Only qualified persons may perform technical work on

the product. The product may not be opened or

changed. The components cannot be serviced by the

user.

e Never expose the device to moisture, condensation and

liquids.

j Protect the device from extremely high and low

temperatures and temperature fluctuations.

Use the device within an ambient temperature of 10º C

until 40º C.

m Never place the device close to a source of heat, and

protect it from direct sunlight.

h Make sure that the surroundings are as dust-free as

possible when you use and store the device.

g Never clean the surface of the device with solvents,

paint thinners, cleansers or other chemical products.

Instead, use a soft, dry cloth or soft brush.

10

Notes:

p In certain circumstances, exposing the device to an

electrostatic discharge may interrupt the data transfer

between the device and the computer and impair the

functions of the device. If this occurs, the device should

be unplugged from the USB port and then plugged in

again.

o Do not use USB cables longer than 3 meters.

q The capacity indicated by your operating system can be

different than the actual capacity of your device. Like

most manufacturers of computer hardware, TrekStor

uses the prefixes for units (e.g. 1 GB = 1.000.000.000

bytes) as prescribed by the International System of Units

(SI). Unfortunately, many operating systems do not

comply with this norm and display a lower capacity

because they base their calculations on the assumption

that 1 GB = 230 bytes = 1.073.741.824 bytes.
