Turning on the Device
1. Press and hold the power button located on the top edge of the device.
2. When you hear a beep, release the button. The green power LED will illuminate.
•The LED will remain illuminated while the device is on.
•The LED will blink when the device is in sleep mode.
3. Wait for the NuVoice® software to load.
Using the Touchscreen
Important! Do not use sharp, pointed objects on the touchscreen. The touchscreen is designed to be used
with your finger or the stylus that came with your device. This stylus is made specifically for a capacitive
touchscreen. Anything else will harm your touchscreen and may cause your device to stop working.
The touchscreen is a liquid crystal display (LCD). Should the display break (unlikely except in extreme
circumstances) and you come into contact with the liquid crystal, wash and rinse your skin thoroughly. Be
careful to avoid splintered glass.
The touchscreen is very sensitive. Fingerprint smears, dust, grime, saliva, etc. will affect its performance.
The screen also reacts to raindrops and extremes in temperature (condensation).
To dust the touchscreen, use a soft, lint-free cloth. For heavier cleaning, use a slightly dampened, lint-
free cloth and then dry the screen with another soft, lint-free cloth.

Accent 1400 User’s Guide-NuVoice 10
Charging the Batteries
How long the batteries last depends on how you use your device. The time required to fully charge the
batteries varies depending on the charge level when the charge begins. When the device needs
charging, locate the charging port on the back of the device and connect the battery charger.
Check the battery status next to the battery icon in the status display area to quickly view the batteries’
charge level. You can also check the Maintenance Menu’s Battery Menu for battery information.
Charging Dangerously Low or Dead Batteries
To fully charge dangerously low batteries will take about 10 hours. If the batteries are totally dead, an
additional two hours may be required. Batteries that are not fully depleted will require less time to recharge.
Note: If you need to use the device immediately, plug in the battery charger and leave it plugged in
while using the device.
Best Practice
Plug in your battery charger every night when you go to bed and any time you see the low battery
warning and/or see the low battery LED come on. If you cannot plug in the charger overnight, it is best
to power off the device to conserve battery charge.
Connecting the Charger
Important! Always use the battery charger that came with your device. Any other charger may damage
the batteries.
Locate the device in a safe location while charging.
1. Plug the charger into an electrical outlet—a surge protector is recommended.
2. Lift the charger port cover on the device.
3. Plug the charger connector into the charger port.
The Battery/Charging LED
When the device is on: The battery/charging LED is not illuminated. When the batteries have less than
15% (about three hours) of its power remaining, the LED will blink yellow.
When the device is plugged into the charger: The battery/charging LED will glow yellow. When the
device is fully charged, the LED will turn green and remain on until the charger is unplugged.
Disposing of the Device and Batteries
Device Disposal: Please dispose of your device in accordance with your local, state, and/or federal electronic
recycling laws.
Battery Disposal: If the batteries in your device need to be replaced, dispose of the old batteries in
accordance with your local, state, and/or country regulations.

Accent 1400 User’s Guide-NuVoice 11
Cleaning and Disinfecting the Device
If your device will only be used by one person, routine cleaning and disinfecting should be sufficient. If,
however, more than one person will be using the device, take additional measures to clean and disinfect
the device after it has been used by one person before allowing it to be used by another.
Disconnect the charger and turn off the device before cleaning or disinfecting the device.
Routine Cleaning and Disinfecting
Important! Do not use solvents or abrasives or spray water or cleaner on the screen or case.
Cleaning the Case
Before cleaning the case or the display, turn the device off. Clean the case with a slightly dampened,
lint-free cloth. Dry the case thoroughly with another lint-free cloth before turning the device on.
Cleaning the Touchscreen
The touchscreen is very sensitive. Fingerprint smears, dust, grime, saliva, etc. will affect its performance.
The screen also reacts to raindrops and extremes in temperature (condensation).
To dust the touchscreen, use a soft, lint-free cloth. For heavier cleaning, use a slightly dampened, lint-
free cloth and then dry the screen with another soft, lint-free cloth.
Cleaning Keyguard Frames, Keyguards, and TouchGuides
All of these accessories can be removed from the case and washed in hot, soapy water. Dry them
thoroughly before putting them back on the device. The best practice for regular cleaning is to dry
accessories by hand, lay them on a dry towel, and let them air dry for about 5 minutes before placing
them back on the device.
Disinfecting
To disinfect everything but the display, use a solution of vinegar and water (¼ cup vinegar to 1 cup
water). Wipe the case (not the display) using a cloth dampened with this solution.
Wash the keyguard frame, keyguard, and TouchGuide separately with the vinegar and water solution.
Allow all equipment to air dry. Do not use vinegar and water on the display!
What about drooling/saliva?
Any saliva should be wiped up immediately, especially on the touchscreen or around any of the
connectors. Use a slightly dampened, lint-free cloth to wipe the device.
What about spills, rain, or accidental immersion?
If you spill liquid or any runny substance on your device; if you're caught in a downpour; or if the device
is accidentally dropped in liquid, immediately dry the device as thoroughly as possible. Try using the
device. If it does not work, call the PRC Service Department and tell them what happened. They may ask
you to send in your device for servicing.

Accent 1400 User’s Guide-NuVoice 12
Disinfecting a Device and Accessories for Multiple Users

Removing or Replacing the Device Frame
Your device came with a frame mounted on it. If you need to remove or replace the frame, follow these
instructions.
Removing the Device Frame
Your device came with a frame mounted on it. If you need to remove the frame, follow these instructions.
Note: This is a suggested way to remove the frame. You may find a way that is easier for you.
1. If you are using a keyguard or TouchGuide, remove it from the frame.
2. Remove the six screws that secure the frame to the device—two on the top and two on each side.
Important! If you are replacing the frame, set these screws aside. You will use them to reattach the
new frame. If you are not replacing the frame, store these screws in a safe location in case you later
decide to reattach the frame.
Loose screws could be a choking hazard.
3. Pull the tabs at the top of the frame out of the slots in the device.
Hint: You may want to use a flat-head screwdriver or a similar tool.

Accent 1400 User’s Guide-NuVoice 18
