7tolino Manual
In addition to swiping and tapping, your e-book reader also supports the so-called
long press. This is a special type of tapping where the finger remains on the screen
for a short while when tapping on a button or word. A long press usually calls up
menus that contain further commands (which you then tap “normally”).
Every now and then your tolino shows you some tips and hints. You can simply close
those windows again by tapping OK or the cross. If you no longer wish to receive the
respective tip, just set a checkmark next to the Do not show this message again box
by tapping on it.
After a certain period of inactivity, your tolino changes into sleep mode. You wake it
up again by briefly pressing the power button at the bottom edge.
1.3 Charging your tolino
A message appears when the battery of your tolino is empty. At this point you must
charge your tolino at the very latest. If you do not have a computer with a USB con-
nection available, you can also use a USB power supply unit (i.e. a power supply unit
with a USB socket into which you can plug the USB cable) for charging.
INFO: Charging tolino with a different power supply unit or USB cable
According to the specification, each USB port provides at least 500mA of pow-
er at 5V. If you take a closer look at the port on your tolino, you will see that the
input values are 5V and 1A. If you charge your tolino with a power supply that
provides a higher performance than the standardized USB port, the charging
time will decrease ( to almost half).
Connect your reader to the USB power supply using the USB cable and plug it into a
standard wall outlet. The battery of your tolino starts charging right away.
When charging your tolino via your PC, you should pay attention to several other
things: Normally, your tolino gets charged when the computer is switched on. On
some PCs, the USB ports are always supplied with power, even when the computer
is switched off. It sometimes happens that the computer does not change into sleep
mode if a tolino is connected for charging, or—vice versa—the charging process is
aborted as soon as the computer goes into sleep mode. Long story short: Your ma-
chine’s behavior when charging tolino is not predictable. But you should not worry too
much about that, just check it out. The little lightning bolt next to the battery indicator
on the status bar tells you very quickly whether your tolino is currently being charged
or not. Once the battery is fully charged, the lightning bolt will disappear again.
