Need help?Do you have a question about the Hanvon WISEreader N526 and is the answer not in the manual?
The WISEreader N526 is an E-Book Reader designed for a comprehensive digital reading experience, offering a range of functionalities beyond just displaying text. It integrates features for note-taking, music playback, and image viewing, making it a versatile portable device.
The core function of the WISEreader N526 is e-book reading, supporting various formats including TXT, HTXT, PDF, EPUB, DOC, and HTML. Users can navigate through books using physical buttons or by interacting with the display screen. Page turning can be done by pressing the "Page Up" or "Page Down" buttons, with the added convenience of turning ten pages at a time by continuously pressing these buttons. For direct navigation, users can jump to a specific page by entering the page number using the keyboard area and confirming with the "OK" button. The device also offers font zoom functionality, allowing users to adjust font sizes to small, middle, or large, and a format switch button to toggle between portrait and landscape display modes.
Beyond basic reading, the N526 provides advanced features like searching within a book. By pressing the "MENU" button and selecting "Search," an input frame appears, enabling users to type words using the keyboard or write directly on the screen with the pen. The search results can then be navigated, and the search frame can be closed or reactivated for further searches.
Bookmark functionality is also integrated, offering two types: normal bookmarks and shift bookmarks. Normal bookmarks are book-specific and limited to five per book, while shift bookmarks allow users to switch between different books, provided the "txt" option in "Continuous turning" is selected in the "Settings." Bookmarks can be added to the current page, and a list of existing bookmarks (sorted by date, showing the five most recent) can be viewed, allowing users to jump to the corresponding page. For image files, only shift bookmarks are supported.
The device also supports "Remarks," allowing users to add notes to pages while reading. These remarks can be added using the pen and can be cleared either from the current page ("Clr remark in page") or from the entire file ("Clr remark in file"). It's important to note that remarks are only supported in TXT, HTXT, and HTML files and will disappear if the format or font is changed.
In addition to reading, the WISEreader N526 includes a "Picture View" function. Users can browse pictures continuously within a folder and choose from four display modes: Fit Window, Fit Width, Fit Height, and Actual Size. Supported image formats include JPG, BMP, GIF, TIF, and PNG, with a maximum resolution of 3,000,000 pixels.
A "Music" function is also available, offering both recording and playback capabilities. Users can play music files (mp3, wav, wma) from a list or record audio, which is saved in WAV format in the E-audio folder. The recorder and player interface provides controls for play/pause, record, stop, forward/rewind, single/cycle playback, and volume adjustment.
The "Notes" interface allows for free-form note-taking using the pen. Users can draw, write, and clear remarks on the screen. Individual notes can also be deleted. The "Text" interface provides a dedicated area for text input, where handwritten characters are recognized and displayed. This input area can be toggled on/off and positioned at the top or bottom of the screen. All marks on the screen can be cleared, and individual text entries can be deleted.
Handwriting is a significant feature, supported in "Notes" and "Bookcase" for TXT, HTXT, and HTML formats. The device allows switching between "Keypad" inputting and "handwriting" input. In English mode, handwritten words are recognized, and candidate words appear for selection. The system also supports number string recognition, including telephone numbers, math formulas, and symbols. Handwriting signs like "Tab," "Space," "Backspace," and "Enter" are available for controlling input.
The WISEreader N526 is designed for intuitive use with a combination of physical buttons and a touch-sensitive display. The "Power button" turns the device on/off, with a red indicator for charging and a blue indicator for operation. "Page Up" and "Page Down" buttons facilitate navigation. The "Keyboard area" includes number buttons, letters, and function keys, which are used for various operations like selecting functions from menus, jumping to pages, and inputting text. The "Index button" (Number) allows direct selection of functions from a menu. The "Page jump button" (Number) enables quick navigation to specific pages in documents or voice books. "Function shortcut keys" (Number) provide quick access to menu functions.
Specific function buttons include the "Play/record button" for the recorder and player interface, the "Zoom button (Z)" for adjusting font/picture size, and the "MENU button" for displaying the function menu. The "OK button" confirms operations and can also lock/unlock the keypad with continuous pressing. "Direction buttons" are used for page turning or option selection. The "Return button" cancels operations or returns to the previous interface. A "Refresh button" is available to clear the screen if the display becomes unclear.
Connectivity is provided via a "Mini USB port" for charging and data transfer. An "Earphone outlet" allows for private audio listening. A "MIC: Microphone" is included for recording audio, and a "Speaker" broadcasts voice files. The "Pen and Pen slot" feature automatically activates or deactivates the pen when it's pulled out or inserted, with a corresponding icon appearing on the screen. A "Lock button" on top of the device locks/unlocks the keyboard, and a "TF card slot" is available for expandable storage.
The device offers several "Using skill" tips to enhance the user experience. For quick access to the main menu, users can press "MENU" and then "1," or use the "Return" button from specific interfaces like "Recent reading," "Settings," "User's Guide," and "Recorder and Player." The refresh button is recommended for clearing unclear displays during reading. Direct page jumping is possible by pressing a number button and "OK." Power-saving tips include selecting sleep mode, turning off the pen, and moving the pen away from the screen when not in use. Users can adjust the "recognition delay time" for handwriting based on their writing speed. Using a TF card for data transfer is suggested for faster and safer operations.
The WISEreader N526 includes "Settings" that allow users to customize various aspects of the device's operation, contributing to its maintenance and optimal performance.
"Continuous turning" can be enabled to browse all files (pictures, html, txt) within a folder continuously, which can be useful for reviewing content without interruption.
"Handwriting input" settings include "Recog delay," with options for short, middle, or long delays, allowing users to adjust the recognition time based on their writing speed. "Line thickness" can also be set to thin, normal, or thick, though this feature is not applicable to remarks and notes.
"Sleep Settings" help manage power consumption. Users can choose "Yes" for the system to enter sleep mode after 3 seconds of inactivity, turning off the LED indicator. Selecting "No" keeps the system awake and the LED indicator lit. The device will not sleep during "Music" or "Voice Book" operations. "Sleep Delay" offers short, middle, or long options, controlling how quickly the device enters sleep mode.
"Recent Files" settings allow users to control how reading records are saved. "Record" saves reading records, "Not Recorded" prevents saving, and "Clean up" clears all recent reading records.
"Key tone" can be turned "on" or "off" to enable or disable key-press/pen-touch sounds.
"Reading Voice" offers options for male and female voices, enhancing accessibility for users who prefer audio narration.
While the manual mentions "PRODUCT MAINTENANCE" as a section, the content for it is not provided in the given pages. However, the general advice provided throughout the manual, such as using a TF card for data transfer (implying careful handling of internal storage) and power-saving tips, indirectly contributes to the longevity and proper functioning of the device. The continuous updates mentioned by the manufacturer also suggest ongoing support and potential for software improvements that contribute to device maintenance.
