9As continuous efforts are made by the manufacturer to ensure

the best quality and performance of the Partner®products,

some 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 EGR430T are

shown below.

Power Supply

The EGR430T is powered by two AAA (LR03) batteries.

When the batteries become weak, a warning message will be

displayed.

In order to prevent excessively discharging the batteries and

undergoing a resulting loss of data in RAM, the Say function and

communication channels will be disabled if battery power is low.

Partner® EGR430T User’s Manual

To restore full functionality of the device and to avoid risk of losing

user data, replace the complete set of batteries as soon as

possible. Do not mix old and new batteries.

How to replace the batteries

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

9Never 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 button) and reset

the system.

yRemove the battery compartment cover by sliding it away from

the device.

yRemove the used batteries and replace them with new ones.

9When replacing the batteries, you have 2 minutes to place new

ones in the device without risk of losing any data stored in

RAM. Do not exceed the 2-minute limit! Neither the

manufacturer nor the dealer may be held responsible for loss

of user data.

yMake sure to place the batteries according to the polarity

marks (+ -) inside the compartment.

yReplace the battery compartment cover by sliding it toward the

device. Make sure the cover sits in place properly.

9The EGR430T is equipped with a jack for external power

supply.

9Use 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 current.

9Communication with a PC consumes a considerable amount of

energy. Always try to use an external power supply during

these operations.

Initialization

The initialization routine is started

▫when EGR430T 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.

9The RESET button is located on the right-hand side of the

keyboard (over the O button). It can be accessed with any thin

Partner® EGR430T User’s Manual

object like a paper clip. Never use a needle or pin for this

purpose since it can damage the device.

yIf you see Initialize system?(y/n), press the N button to abort

initialization and customization.

The System is initialized! message indicates that system

initialization has been completed and the factory defined default

settings have been restored.

yThen you will see the Delete all data? message. Press the N

button to save your data.

Keyboard

German and Russian standard layouts.

To enter additional signs in German or Russian (marked with blue

at upper left of buttons), press ALT+ the desired button. 1

To enter such signs in caps, press SHIFT+ ALT+ the desired

phonetic consonance with English letters, e.g. you can press the F
