Note: increasing the volume above the safe sound level means you accept possible risks
associated with high sound levels.
The system will automatically reduce the volume to a safe level after every new power-on
cycle or when you plug or unplug a headphone.
f. SPEED
It is possible to change the reading speed by a toggle push-button, from -1 to +3. Set the
speed to “0” to listen to the book’s recorded voice speed.
Audible messages are only heard when the device is paused. During play, a single beep
indicates the recorded speed and a double tone indicates the minimum or maximum
setting has been reached.
g. PITCH
This toggle push-button allows you to change the pitch from -4 to 4. Set the pitch to “0” to
listen to the book’s recorded voice tone.
Audible messages are only heard when the device is paused. A single beep indicates the
recorded voice tone, and a double tone indicates the minimum or maximum setting has
been reached.
h. EJECT

6.2. Advanced operating controls
a. Battery status
Shortly press the ON-OFF button to check the battery status. An audible message will
indicate the battery charge level.
The i-Speak’s battery has 3 charge levels, “high”, “normal” and “low”. When the battery
is running out of power, the message “Battery Low, connect the power adapter” will be
given.
During charging, the battery status is charging.
b. Restart book
Press and hold the PLAY-PAUSE button to delete the bookmarker and start the book from
the beginning.
c. Set DAISY-book navigation level
Pause the Daisy book and hold a navigation button FORWARD or BACKWARD to
increase or decrease the navigation level number of the Daisy book.
In most cases, a book has a title, colophon, the book itself with chapters and subchapters,
and an epilogue. Unfortunately, books and magazine have different structures, but DAISY
levels help you navigate a book’s structure.
Level 1 is the highest (for example, the title, colophon, book and epilogue). Level 2 can
navigate further into the book chapters. Level 3 can go into subchapters and so on.
The default level for the i-Speak is level 2, which in many cases can navigate into
chapters. Do not hesitate to change navigation levels and experience the DAISY
navigation method. To find the ideal level, start at level 1 and try navigating the book. If you
cannot go into details as required, increase the level number.
