• Connect your headphones to your Trek. They are required to adjust the recording
volume.
• The normal output volume of the Trek affects the volume of everything you hear from the
Trek, so adjust it to a comfortable level before adjusting the recording volume.
• During a recording (no matter what bookshelf you are in), use key 2 to increase the
volume, key 8 to lower the volume, or key 5 to return directly to the default volume level
of 6. Note that using the Up and Down buttons during a recording will adjust the normal
output volume of the Trek and not the recording volume.
• The volume level is not announced when changing the recording volume during a
recording, but you will hear the difference in volume through your headphones.
• You can pause a recording with the Play/Stop key and still adjust the recording volume
with keys 2 and 8. When the volume you hear is to your liking, simply resume the
recording with the Play/Stop key.
6.6 Multi-tap text entry method
There are two multi-tap text entry methods: “Announce character on each key press and enter
character after pause” (default method) and “Announce final character only”. Use keys 4 or 6 to
select a method, followed by Confirm. See section 5.1 (Text Search) to learn how to use each
method.
6.7 Format SD card
If your SD card is not recognized by Microsoft Windows when it is inserted in your computer card
reader or when the Trek is connected to the computer, it may be possible that the card needs to be
formatted. Also, if for any reason data becomes corrupt, you may notice that some files/books will
not play properly on your Trek. This is also an indicator that reformatting is needed.
To format your SD card, insert it into the Trek and press the Menu key 7 repeatedly until you hear
the Format SD card option. Then press Confirm to confirm the format. You will receive a warning
that formatting will erase all the files on the SD card. Press Confirm again to proceed with the
format or press the Star key to cancel the format. The utility will format your card and label it as
VRTrek. A progress beep will indicate activity. Formatting may take from a few seconds to 1 or 2
minutes depending on the size of the SD card. The label will be visible beside the drive letter when
you view the card in Windows. Once formatted, only the $VR folders will exist on the card. You will
need to recopy all your books and files from the computer.
To prevent possible corruption of data on the SD card, always be sure to use the Windows Safely
Remove option after copying files to the card. Also, never remove the SD card while you are
recording, copying a book or deleting a book.
6.8 Wireless
The wireless configuration menu is only available from the Online bookcase.
Here are a few points to note before describing the wireless configuration menu:
• The Airplane Mode is used to turn off all wireless communication for situations where you
are not allowed to use a wireless device such as in a commercial airline flight or in some
hospitals. If the Airplane Mode is turned on, then the wireless communication is turned
Off. You can also turn on the Airplane Mode in situations where you know you don’t need
wireless communication to save battery power. If the Airplane Mode is turned on,
pressing the Online button will remind you by announcing the message “Airplane Mode,
On”.
• The SSID is the name of a network router. It is announced when you perform a Scan for
Available Connections. It is possible that a router has been configured to hide its SSID. In
that case, it will not appear in the list of connections when performing a scan. To connect
