Switch on the machine, and wait for the "Reader Ready" message.
Lift the lid of the scanning window and place your document face down on the glass,
aligning it with the raised edges. Lower the lid, and then press the "START" key, (the
large key at the left hand end of the front panel).
For a full A4 page, the scanning and analysing phase is quite quick but does depend
on the amount of text and the text size. During this period, various messages will be
announced, to let you know what is happening.
2.3 READING THE TEXT.
Once the text has been scanned and analysed, the Reader will begin to speak the
text to you, and if you take no further action, the whole of the page will be read.
If, during the reading of a page, you need to pause the speech for any reason, simply
press the Stop key (6). Press the Start Key and the Reader will continue reading the
page from the point where it left off.
2.4 NAVIGATION MODE.
If you decide that you need more control over the reading of the document, you
should go into "NAVIGATION" mode. To do this, simply press any one of the four
Navigation keys. The “UP” and “DOWN” keys select sentences to read if the
document contains sentences, or lines if in PAGE mode. You can select each word in
a sentence or line by using the “RIGHT” or “LEFT” keys, word speaking always
commences at the beginning of the sentence or line.
If you hold down the "Function" key while using the "WORD RIGHT" or "WORD LEFT"
keys, the words will be spelled out to you.
Press the Function Key and the Up Key to go back, about, a page in the document.
Press the Function Key and the Down Key to go forward, about, a page.
To exit Navigation Mode, and go back to continuous reading, simply press the "Start"
key again.
