1. Introduction
This manual is designed to guide you in the use and care of the
iBill
Talking Banknote Identifier. This specially designed unit identifies and
announces the denomination of U.S. banknotes.
2. Getting familiar with the
iBill
2.1 Orientation of the unit and its Controls
This section will familiarize you with the location and functions of the
controls.
Place the unit on a desk or hold it in your hand so that the ridge on one of
the two large flat sides of the unit is on the top side and towards you. This
is the TOP side of the unit. The ridge forms the opening of the slot for
inserting the bill. You will find two identical pushbuttons with small ridges
on the right and left sides of the unit.
Now turn the unit over so that the BOTTOM side of the unit is facing
upwards. You will feel several short ridges about half inch in length.
These identify the cover of the battery compartment and allow you to open
it easily.
2.2 Replacing the battery
The
iBill
uses a single AAA alkaline battery for operation and is shipped
to you with a battery installed.
To replace the battery, first open the battery compartment cover on the
bottom of the unit. The cover can be identified by a ridged pattern. Open
the cover, by pushing it outwards, gently but firmly. The battery cover is
held securely to the unit by a rubber string so that it does not separate
from the unit and get misplaced. Care should be taken to avoid applying
undue force which may tear the rubber strings.
