Experience! The Installation CD will give you everything you need to
make your Xtreme the way you want it!
Turning ON your Cybiko Xtreme™
You need to charge your Cybiko Xtreme by plugging the small end of the USB cable
into the Cybiko Xtreme and the large end of the USB cable into the AC Adapter.
After you do this Cybiko Xtreme has a conveniently located On/Off button in the
middle of the device that allows you to turn power On and Off. When the power is
turned On for the first time, the Cybiko Xtreme will load setup asking you to adjust
display contrast, pick a name for you and your device, as well as verify the correct
date and time in your geographic location. Pressing the On/Off button again will
cause a menu to appear providing you with the options to: Turn off, Silent, or Sleep.
You may choose Turn Off or hold On/Off button for 2 seconds to turn off your
Cybiko Xtreme. Selecting Silent removes all sound effects and Sleep will put your
device into power saving mode. If the device is not used and has no communication
activity within a 5 minute time period, your Cybiko Xtreme will automatically enter
Sleep mode. Pressing any key (in Sleep mode) will return you to the Main Desktop.
Charging your Cybiko Xtreme™
Your Cybiko Xtreme will tell you when your battery is low on power or needs
recharging. There is a battery icon on the bottom right-side of the Cybiko Xtreme
desktop that provides a battery charge reading. You will notice when the Cybiko
Xtreme is plugged into a power outlet, the battery will have a blinking “C” for
Charging with a blinking battery in the background. When your battery is fully
charged, you will have a blinking “F” for Full on your main desktop. To charge your
Cybiko Xtreme, plug the small end of the USB cable into the Cybiko Xtreme and the
large end of the USB cable into the AC Adapter. Then plug the AC Adapter into a
wall outlet. The Cybiko Xtreme also charges while the USB cable is plugged into
your computer.
