“sheet music download” to get updated results.

How do I import my books or sheet music into my computer?

You must scan the physical pages. For best results, try to avoid the shad-
ows near the book spine by using a flatbed book scanner such as the
Plustek OpticBook 3600. Visit

www.plustek.com

for more details. A

more cost-effective solution is to use a great new service provided by
1dollarscan.com. Simply mail them your books, and they will cut off the
binding and scan the loose pages at 300dpi for $1 per set of 100 pages.
Additional charges apply for scanning at 600dpi or to apply a deskewing
algorithm. Visit 1dollarscan.com for more information. Please note that
this is a destructive process. You will get a pdf file for each book you send
but you will sacrifice your book in the process. They discard the book after
chopping off the binding and scanning the pages.

Can I connect other foot pedals to the PageFlip Cicada to trigger
page turns?

Yes, you can plug other foot pedals to the L/R jacks on the rear of the
PageFlip Cicada. The L/R jacks accept 1/8" mono plugs. We deliberately
designed this capability to accommodate the preferences of our diverse
users. Therefore, if you have any particular switch that you prefer over the
PageFlip Cicada’s integrated pedal, then by all means plug it in!

Why are the LEDs not lit when I turn on the PageFlip Cicada?

Make sure to install two fresh AA batteries in the pedal.

The Page-

Flip Cicada may be plugged into the wall using the supplied USB power
cable and any USB AC adapter, such as those already included with
iPads/iPhones. You can also power the pedal by using the supplied cable
to plug into a computer’s USB port.

What is the current pedal mode?
