procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your equipment. If they do, you will be
notified in advance to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted telephone service.
The telephone company may ask you to disconnect this equipment from the network until the
problem has been corrected or until you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.
This equipment may not be used on any coin service provided by the telephone company.
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a
computer or their electronic device to send any message via a telephone facsimile machine

Please make sure that you have all the above items; if not, contact the dealer where you
bought your PaceBook. The stylus will already be installed in the main unit. Optional
accessories will be packaged separately from the PaceBook.
If you need to send your PaceBook for service or upgrade it is strongly recommended to use
the original packing box and materials.
1.2 Setting up the PaceBook as a notebook
The PaceBook can be configured and used as a regular notebook. However, there is a special
procedure for preparation and use.
Open the zippers and pull down the keyboard as shown above. The PaceBook is now ready to
be used as a notebook computer.
Hold the PaceBook upright with the flap
facing away from you. Open the flap in the rear and let the PaceBook
stand by itself. Ensure the Velcro that holds
the flap is adjusted to the proper length to
allow the PaceBook to stand upright.

1.5 Setting up the PaceBook as a Tablet PC
The PaceBook modular system also allows you to use the display
unit as a Tablet PC, for those times when using a keyboard is
impractical or unnecessary. The Tablet features a built-in
touchscreen, scroll wheel/mouse buttons, handwriting recognition
and an on-screen virtual keyboard.
Use the Rotation button to set the Tablet into landscape or portrait
mode.
1.6 Accessories
There are many standard notebook accessories available that can be used to enhance the
functionality of your PaceBook. However, PaceBlade accessories are made especially for your
PaceBook. For the latest accessories, check the PaceBook website at
http://www.pacebook.com.
Accessories purchased with the PaceBook either online or through our resellers will be shipped
in separate packaging. For additional shipping information, please contact your reseller or
check online.
1.7 Operating environment
Care should be taken while traveling with or using the PaceBook system. When selecting a
suitable working location, ensure that the environment has good ventilation and is
temperature controlled. Your PaceBook functions best at room temperature. Choose a location
free from extreme heat or cold. This environment should also be free of dust and dirt, as well
as electromagnetic and RF interference.
Whenever using your PaceBook while walking or driving (for example, as a mobile DVD player
or as a GPS receiver), it is preferable to stop while using to avoid personal injury. When
walking with the PaceBook in Tablet PC mode, you should use the optional carrier.
Warning: Do not expose the PaceBook to extreme temperatures. Do not leave
the PaceBook in a car. Do not drop, or spill fluids on the PaceBook, and do not open the
case. Failure to observe these warnings may void your warranty.
The PaceBook’s Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) may be damaged by
exposure to intense sunlight, which builds up excessive heat inside the display enclosure.
Only exposure to indirect or subdued sunlight is recommended.
