I charged it for full two hours and again for some 30 mts more but i see the battery level as 10 hrs and 50 odd minutes with full charge display. Is this the normal duration battery would last (in some forums i read up to 15 hours charge)- in front of your given adaptor, i have used a 220 to 120 V convertor i had for a US made radio i use- hope this is ok.
The battery life indicator needs to be calibrated by going to the last page of the settings menu and selecting the stay on when charging option. 10 hours sounds about right with the backlight on high. The 220/120 volt converter should work fine but if you can find a 220VAC adaptor with the same output it would be better. I'm not sure if you have 50Hz or 60Hz power there but the supplied adaptor does not like 50Hz, it runs much hotter than I like. I had to use a converter when in Tonga last year and altho it worked, it was hot.
I live in New Delhi and have analog home phone line on which a broadband modem is also connected through which i use my computer. when i connect the phone line to the reader, it starts dialing 1 858 678 8695 but is unsuccessful, what else i am supposed to prefix? is this a US number, in which case do i have to be able to dial international?
It's a USA only number and you will have to connect via the USB cable.
when i connect with USB wire and start to register the reader, it asks me DEVICE ID and am unable to locate it from the directions it gives me on the window display. on the reader, i only see "device no registered yet"
You don't need to register unless you wish to buy books from eBookwise or Fictionwise. Follow the instuctions in this thread to register the reader.
how to switch off the backlight when reading in day light? but that is at moment not important query, above are more important as i must register the device first.
To change the backlight, tap the top left icon and drag the backlight slider to the left. See the device tour at eBook Technologies. You have the ETI-2 reader, eBookwise calls it the 1150. |
