Press the Power Button to power up the device. The start-up process takes
approximately 90 seconds. You will hear a series of beeps that let you know the device
is starting up. When the Ace Plus is ready, you will
hear the announcement: “Main
Menu: Scan and Read
.”
Standby Mode
When operating the device on battery power, after five minutes of inactivity, the Ace
Plus goes into standby mode, in order to consume less power. A short series of tones
indicates when the device is going into this mode, and then a blinking power indicator
light indicates that the device is on standby.
Press the Power Button to wake up the Ace Plus and return it to the active mode.
It will take about 15 seconds for the Ace Plus
to “wake up.” You will hear a series of
beeps and when the beeps stop, the device is ready for use. While in sleep mode, the
device will remain in the screen you left off and wake up in the same spot. If you want
to check which screen you are in, press the Center Daisy Button. If you want to return
to the Main Menu, press the Home Button.
Power Down
Press and hold the Power Button for approximately three seconds to power down the
Ace Plus completely. You will hear a short series of beeps as it powers off.
Checking the Battery Charge Status
To quickly check the battery status, press the round Center Daisy Button. You will hear
an announcement that tells the battery status, and whether or not you are connected to
a Network.
The battery status is also announced in the Settings sub-menu under Status. The
Status menu is accessed by pressing the Home Button to get to the Main Menu and
then using the Right Roller to scroll until you hear
“Settings.” Next, press the Action
Button to select it. Use the Right Roller again to scroll to Status and press the Action
Button to select it.
The Ace Plus will announce the percentage of available battery charge (also displayed
in the screen): “100%” means a fully charged battery.
If the battery charge is below 15%, it is time to re-charge the device. The Ace Plus can
be used while it is being charged.
