11 The VOICEYE Player battery is placed inside the unit and you can recharge using the ac adapter. The player can also be charge while it is connected to a computer through a USB cable. The battery will recharge automatically. We recommend connecting the cable to the USB port at the back of the computer, because the power supply through the USB port at the front or an extended USB hub may not be strong enough to recharge the battery. It takes about 2 hours to recharge the battery completely. When the battery is fully charged, the player’s output speech is approximately 3 continuous hours. When you use it in “VOICEYE mode,” capturing VOICEYE, the operation time can be shorter because the LED in the VOICEYE scanner consumes some battery power. Chapter 2.

42 Problem Solution I place the VOICEYE scanner on the VOICEYE, but no action is performed First, check the remaining battery. If the battery is fully charged, make sure you are in the VOICEYE mode. If you are in the “VOICEYE mode,” you should press the Capture button Although the above mentioned problem has been resolved, but I only hear the failing sound. Align the top right corner of a page and the back right bottom corner of the VOICEYE scanner. How can I prevent the battery from being quickly discharged? If you are familiar with the VOICEYE Player, you can disable the LCD display or TTS information in the “Setup mode,” to save some battery use. It is very hard for me to tune the FM frequency Make sure that the earphone is connected. You must use an earphone because it serves as an antenna. I cannot connect the VOICEYE Player with the VOICEYE Browser. Make sure if the VOICEYE Player is connected with the VOICEYE Browser through a USB cable. Install the driver in the Tools folder on the VOICEYE Browser CD while the player is connected. 1) How to request Phone: 82-2-2025-7750~~7753 Office hours: Monday through Friday, 9:30~18:00, excluding lunch hour (12:00~13:00).
