Operating Instructions
6.1. Basic operating controls
The basic operating controls explained in this chapter apply to the factory settings. The
more advanced controls, different storage media, explanation of the bookshelf and device
settings can be found from section 6.2 onwards.
Find the location of the corresponding numbers of the controls in the Quick reference
guide. Example: a. = ON-OFF
a. ON-OFF
Press and hold the ON-OFF button until you hear the switch-on tone. After a few seconds,
the button lights up green and the device says “Welcome”.
When media is present, the i-Speak will resume where you were listening.
To switch off the device, press and hold the ON-OFF button until you hear a switch-off
tone. The i-Speak will store a bookmarker, and the green light turns off or becomes blue to
indicate it is charging the battery.
b. PLAY-PAUSE
Press the PLAY-PAUSE button to start or pause playback.
c. Navigation (FORWARD and BACKWARD)
The BACKWARD and FORWARD buttons allow you to fast-forward or rewind to the
desired book or track position. During play, press a navigation button to jump 10 seconds
forward or backwards. Press and hold a navigation button to jump forward or backwards in
larger steps.
Pause the book and press on a navigation button to jump to the next or previous DAISY-
level or track. The book will start playing automatically. Note other audio files remain
paused.
d. SLEEP TIMER
The small round button at the right side of the on-off button has three functions. Its main
function is the sleep timer.
A single press on the SLEEP TIMER will enable, modify or disable the sleep timer. The
sleep timer intervals are 15 minutes, up to 60 minutes. If the sleep timer is set, the
i-Speak will prompt a spoken message 1 minute before switching itself off, which allows
you to modify the setting on time.
Read Chapter 6.2 advanced operating controls to get more information about the other
functions.
e. VOLUME
Turn the VOLUME wheel to change the audio volume level. The i-Speak emits a double
beep when the minimum or maximum level is reached.
While adjusting, a beep indicates when the maximum safe sound level has been reached.
To set the volume above this safe sound level, release the volume wheel until a double
beep is heard. Then increase the volume as desired.
Be aware that listening to high sound levels could result in hearing damage. A beep will
always indicate you are setting the volume at a high sound level.
