Notes on selecting menus and items

Selecting a menu item will bring up a second menu level where you can 
change settings. Use the “return” option on the second level to return to the 

first menu level.

The currently active setting appears in capital letters in the display window. 

When you change a setting, you'll automatically exit from the configuration
menu.

If you select the “erase all data” menu item, you must confirm the “erase all?“
request by pressing the         key within two seconds. All text stored in the
Pocket Reader will be erased.

After you exit the configuration menu, the display window will briefly indicate
available text memory and battery power.
