Preface  
We wish you a lot of fun with TrekStor eBook Reader Pyrus maxi.  
Please read the following instructions carefully so that you can become acquainted  
with the functions of this product and its use.  
Current product information can be found at the TrekStor website  
Other products and accessories are available at www.trekstor-onlineshop.de.  
Digital Ink® technology  
When using the Digital Ink® technology, the illustration of text or pictures is adopted  
by a "digital ink". The display is passive: It does not light as conventional LCDs and  
consumes energy only when loading or flipping a page. This achieves a very long  
battery life time. Once set "digital ink" remains until the next image build-up, i. e. the  
last displayed page remains visible, even if the eBook Reader is already switched off.  
A "burning-in" into the display is not possible with Digital Ink®.

Safety instructions  
It is essential to observe the following safety instructions!  
5.1  
Battery  
Charge the battery only in a temperature range from 0° to 35° C.  
Do not charge the eBook Reader, if the battery is damaged or leaking.  
5.2  
Operation  
Do not expose the eBook Reader to strong light, extreme temperatures,  
moisture or vibration.  
Do not cover the eBook Reader during operating or charging. This can lead to  
overheating.  
Protect the eBook Reader from:  
- Extremely high temperatures  
- Direct sunlight  
- High humidity or corrosive substances  
- Temperatures below freezing  
Turn off the eBook Reader immediately, if it gets wet. Wait until the eBook  
Reader is completely dry before turning it on again.  
If the device is exposed to electrostatic discharge, the data transfer between the  
device and the computer can possibly be interrupted or the functionality of the  
unit may be disrupted. In this case, the device should be disconnected from the  
USB port and then connected again.  
USB cables longer than 3 m should not be used.  
aAttention: When using a microSD/microSDHC memory card, you can damage the  
memory card and eBook Reader if you insert the memory card in the wrong  
direction!

5.3  
Cleaning and maintenance  
Technical work on the product can be performed only by qualified persons. The  
product may neither be opened nor changes be carried out to it. The  
components cannot be serviced by the user.  
Make sure that the surroundings are as dust-free as possible when you use and  
store the device.  
Clean the screen with a wet cloth; do not use abrasive cleaners. Keep the eBook  
Reader in a suitable protective case to prevent scratches (not included).  
The capacity indicated by your operating system can be different than the  
actual capacity of your device. Like most manufacturers of computer hardware,  
TrekStor uses the prefixes for units (e. g. 1 GB = 1.000.000.000 bytes) as  
prescribed by the International System of Units (SI). Unfortunately, many  
operating systems do not comply with this norm and display a lower capacity  
because they base their calculations on the assumption that 1 GB = 230 bytes =  
1.073.741.824 bytes.

pages.

sharing networks in the Internet, can be prevented.

protected eBooks for your device. The registration of an Adobe® ID is free and can be  
performed easily under www.adobe.com or during the installation of Adobe® Digital  
Editions.

When setting up ADE, you can create your free Adobe® ID, if you do not have any yet.  
Enter your e-mail address and complete the online form by following the  
instructions.  
After registering, you will return to the ADE window.
