ECTACO®Partner® EFa400T User Manual

characteristics of the device you have purchased may slightly differ from their

description in this manual.

General View

The general view and external features of the EFa400T are shown below.

Power Supply

The EFa400T is powered by two AAA (LR03) batteries.

When the batteries become weak, a warning message will be displayed.

ECTACO®Partner® EFa400T User Manual

In order to prevent excessively discharging the batteries and undergoing a

resulting loss of data in RAM, the Say function will be disabled if battery power is

low.

To restore full functionality of the device, replace the complete set of batteries as

soon as possible. Do not mix old and new batteries.

If you plug in the AC adapter, the indicator will disappear and full

functionality of the device will be restored during 1 minute.

How to replace the batteries

Ensure the power is off. Press ON/OFF to turn the device off.

Never try to remove batteries from the device when the power is on. This can

seriously damage the device. If you experience difficulty turning the device

off, press the RESET button on the right-hand side of the keyboard (over the

O key) and reset the system.

Remove the battery compartment cover by sliding it away from the device.

Remove the used batteries and replace them with new ones.

When replacing the batteries, you have about 30 seconds to place new ones

in the device without risk of losing user-defined settings stored in RAM.

Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer may be held responsible for loss of

user data.

Make sure to place the batteries according to the polarity marks (+ -) inside

the compartment.

Replace the battery compartment cover by sliding it toward the device. Make

sure the cover sits in place properly.

The EFa400T is equipped with a jack for external power supply.

Use of an inappropriate external power supply may cause failure of the

device and may void the warranty. The AC/DC adapter should provide 6V

and min 300mA DC.

Initialization

The initialization of the dictionary is performed:

▫when EFa400T is turned on for the first time;

▫when you remove the batteries (e.g. during replacement);

▫after the system has been reset with the RESET button.

The RESET button is located on the right-hand side of the keyboard (over the

O key). It can be accessed with any thin object like a paper clip. Never use a

needle or pin for this purpose since it can damage the device.

If you see the Initialize system? (y/n) message, press the Nkey to abort

initialization and customization.

ECTACO®Partner® EFa400T User Manual

The System initialized! message indicates that system initialization has been

completed and the factory defined default settings have been restored.

Keyboard

The standard American QWERTY keyboard is combined with Farsi layout.

Unlike PC keyboards, there is no need to keep a key (such as SHIFT) down

while pressing another one. It is enough to press it only once and release.

The available set of national characters is dependent on the selected keyboard

mode. Language modes can be toggled by pressing the key.
