Fast and clever – Look up and explore
You made a good choice with the electronic dictionary PW-E420!
The PW-E420 was developed in close cooperation with the two leading dictionary publishing companies in the German speaking market, Langenscheidt KG and Duden,
whose book contents have been integrated into the electronic device.
The intuitive operation of the device follows the usage of the printed dictionaries, but – thanks to the intelligent electronics – looking up words and exploring the correct
spelling and translation is much faster and cleverer.
Open the required dictionary directly by using one of the five dictionary keys and let’s go!
• The word to look up is directly input via the easy-to-operate German QWERTZ keyboard. With each inserted character the selection is reduced by a filter search to quickly
highlight the required word.
• The next menu item ‘ Wortverbindungen ’ explores idiomatic phrases and sample sentences in German, English and French and translates them correctly.
• The function key ‘Sprung’ directly accesses translations, cross-references, abbreviations,the French conjugation and additional notes such as the German spelling rules.
• The function keys ‘My Words’ and ‘Verlauf’ open the lists responding to the history of the displayed words to train special vocabulary or quickly recall certain words.
• ‘Quick View’ shows an overview of the different meanings of an entry word to enable direct access to the required definition.
• The intelligent word games ‘Kreuzworträtsel lösen’ and ‘Anagramm lösen’ lets you emerge not only as winner of word games, but will introduce some methodical variety
into English or French lessons.
• The LCD offers a readable view for varying visibility and light conditions by supporting two font sizes and a backlight.
