QUE Reference Manual ~ 4 ~ Overview
Light
On the upper right corner of the device, there is a small LED that will
alert you to notifications and help you monitor power consumption.
When QUE is not connected and no wireless services are active, the light
will be off.
When QUE is transferring files, the light will pulse steadily. The light will
brighten quickly, and slowly dim. This two-second cycle will repeat until
the transfer is complete.
When QUE is charging, the light will pulse. The light will brighten slowly,
and then quickly dim, repeating every three seconds. This three-second
cycle will repeat until QUE is done charging.
When the light is solid, QUE has a full charge and is connected to a
power source.
Home Button
The Home button is in the upper right corner of the device. As a
capacitive button, it requires you to press lightly with your finger – not
with your fingernail. You will not feel the button depress, but QUE will
emit a small sound to acknowledge your touch.

QUE Reference Manual ~ 5 ~ Overview
At any time, no matter what you are doing, you can press the Home
button to return to the Home screen.
SIM Card Slot
SIM cards are used to connect your QUE with a 3G cellular network. If
your QUE is the Wi-Fi-only model, this slot will be empty. The SIM card is
not meant to be user-serviceable, and the cover is not intended to open.
Speaker
Sounds will emit from the bottom of the device when QUE acknowledges
taps and other actions. By default, sounds are on. To turn sounds off,
see page 97.
USB Port
Connect your QUE to your computer or AC-to-USB adapter to charge the
battery. You can monitor power by looking at the battery indicator on the
Home and Organizer screens (see page 7).
Power/Reset Button
The Power/Reset button is at the bottom of the device, flush with the
bottom edge.
Press the button to turn on QUE.

QUE Reference Manual ~ 6 ~ Overview
If QUE is on, press the button again to hibernate, or engage Security
Lock (see page 100).
Press the button for five seconds to reboot.
To shut off your QUE, enter Advanced Settings (see page 90).
Indicators
All system indicators are along the top of the display, so you can easily
review system status in one glance. Indicators are not visible while
viewing content.
Notifications
The upper left corner of Home and the Organizer will normally display
the personalized name of your QUE, as specified in General Settings (see
page 96). If there are system messages that need to be conveyed, the
name of the device will be replaced by an alert icon and the number of
notifications.

QUE Reference Manual ~ 7 ~ Overview
Log
Tap the notifications indicator to display the
Notifications Log. Warning messages are recorded in
this list. The log will not display if there are no
messages.
Tap the “Clear Notifications” button at the bottom
left to empty the log and close the window. The
indicator will revert to the device name. If you do not wish to clear the
notifications, tap the close button to return to Home or the Organizer.
You cannot clear individual notifications.
Battery
This symbol will inform you if QUE is operating at full power, partial
power, or almost no power. If your QUE runs critically low on battery
power, it will display a message suggesting that you should plug in the
device. This message will interrupt all services and functionality. Plug
QUE into your computer or power supply to access your content once
more.
You can also monitor the percentage of battery life remaining by looking
at General Settings (see page 96).

QUE Reference Manual ~ 8 ~ Overview
Connectivity
By default, all wireless antennas (Wi-Fi, cellular, and Bluetooth) are
inactive to preserve battery life. You can enable or disable these by
tapping the upper right corner of the display, which will take you to
Connectivity Settings (see page 92).
When Wi-Fi or cellular services are activated, a signal strength indicator
will display in the upper right corner of Home and the Organizer. The
filled bars show the strength of the signal at the time the screen was
last refreshed. This indicator is not a dynamic display.
The Bluetooth symbol will display when Bluetooth is enabled, indicating
that QUE is ready to be paired to a Blackberry®.
Airplane Mode
When you have enabled Airplane Mode (see page 92), this icon will
replace the above connectivity indicators. All wireless services are
suspended, and you will not be able to visit the QUE Store or connect to
any paired mobile devices. With Airplane Mode enabled, you can use

QUE Reference Manual ~ 9 ~ Overview
QUE for reading on board an aircraft once a crew member has approved
the use of electronic devices.
Download
When content has been purchased from the QUE Store, it will download
automatically. This indicator will appear for as long as a download is
pending or in progress. For more information on shopping the QUE Store,
see page 83.
Tapping and Gestures
QUE has a capacitive touch screen, so all of the features can be
accessed by pressing briefly on the screen – tapping – or by moving a
finger across the screen in a sweeping motion – gestures. As a
capacitive touch screen, it requires a light finger press or swipe; not
with a fingernail, stylus, or pen, but with the skin.
Tapping is analogous to clicking with a mouse. Gestures save the trouble
of opening menus and toolbars, and are similar to keyboard shortcuts.

QUE Reference Manual ~ 10 ~ Overview
The three most commonly used gestures when viewing content are:
Next page
Previous page
Hide the Page Toolbar.
Page turning gestures may be switched by entering Reading Settings
(see page 98). For more information on reading on QUE, see page 39.
Selecting Files and Folders
Every file and folder icon is bordered, and contains
a small box in the bottom-left. Tapping on that
small box will select the item. A check will appear
to indicate what items you have chosen, and the border will darken. Tap
the checkbox again to deselect the item. Items remain selected even if
they are not currently displayed, so you may select items across
multiple pages and organize them.

QUE Reference Manual ~ 11 ~ Overview
Keyboard
QUE has a contextual virtual, or soft, keyboard that will be displayed
whenever you initiate a search, tap on a text field, or label a bookmark.
Functionally, it is very similar to a standard American keyboard.
Tap the shift key to make the next letter you type a capital letter or
secondary character. Tap the shift key twice to engage caps lock. Tap
the shift key again to turn off caps lock.
Special characters, such as à, á, â, etc., are accessed by tapping and
holding the letters A, E, I, O, U, Y, N, S, or C. A menu will appear from
which you may select the alternative letter. Tapping anywhere on the
screen will exit the menu.
Symbols are accessed by tapping the “SYM” key. The keyboard will stay
in symbol mode until you tap the “ABC” or shift key.

QUE Reference Manual ~ 12 ~ Overview
Ecosystem
As a state-of-the-art device, QUE is versatile and adaptable to your
needs. Once the desktop application is installed, QUE can function like a
paperless printer. Anything you can send to a traditional printing device,
you can transfer and view on QUE (see page 60).
Access to the store is only a finger touch away. Browse, purchase, and
download from a wide selection of books, magazines, newspapers, and
web publications. All you need to do is link your QUE to your QUE
account (see page 58).
Use Bluetooth to connect with most Blackberry® Smartphones. For a
list of compatible Smartphones, see page 107. Transfer emails and
attachments for rendering on QUE in standard letter format (see page
79).

content from the QUE Store. See page 83 for instructions on browsing
and shopping from QUE.
Recent Activity
Tap on this button to bring up a selection of the last ten documents,
images, and applications you have opened. This list is sorted
chronologically, with the most recent item at the top. Tap on any of the
names to return you to that item. If the listing is of a document, book, or
magazine, the last page you viewed will be displayed.
Keep your recent activity secure by tapping “Clear List” at the bottom of
the menu. The list will be purged.

QUE Reference Manual ~ 17 ~ Home
Appointments
To the left of the display is the current date, as specified
by you when you first activated QUE.
If you have installed the desktop application on a PC with
Microsoft Outlook, you can transfer your events and
appointments (see page 71). This list is dependent on the
current time of day; your next event will be displayed
beneath the date.
If you have six or less events remaining in the day, all events will be
displayed. If you have more than six events remaining, five events will be
displayed, with the last slot informing you of how many more events are
pending for the day. Attachments are indicated by an icon, followed
by the number of files accompanying the event.
Use the page turning gesture (see page 9) over the date to move forward
and backwards through time. The events for that day will display, as
described above. Tap the “Today” button to return to the present day.
Double-tap on the date to open the Calendar application, which will
allow you to view all events for the day. For details on the Calendar
application, see page 23.
