    Keep the Reader away from overhead lights, desk lamps or windows. Question: I backed my Reader files up on a computer but it is difficult to find a file in the backup folder on the computer. How can I make files easier to find? Answer: When you back up files, copy the files as a group so that they are organized in the same way on the computer as they are on the Reader.

In time stamps, such as 9:00, the colon can be ignored, so that the number reads as nine hundred.
  • Page 25 Question: Will I damage the Reader by leaving it plugged in? Answer: You cannot over-charge the Reader by leaving it plugged in for an extended period. However, you should unplug the Reader if there is danger of an electrical storm, to prevent damage to the Reader.
