Power Supply
The SDN 440T is powered by two AAA (LR03) batteries.
When the batteries become weak, a warning message will be displayed.
In order to prevent an excessive discharge of the batteries and resulting loss of
data in RAM, the Say function will be disabled if battery power is low. To restore full
functionality of the device and to avoid risk of losing user data, replace the
complete set of batteries as soon as possible. Do not mix old and new batteries.
9If you plug in the AC adapter, full functionality of the device will be restored
during 1 minute.
9It is recommended to use an external power supply while using the speech
and PC-Link functions.

How to replace the batteries
yEnsure the power is off. Press ON/OFF to turn the device off.
9Never try to remove batteries from the device when the power is on. This can

yRemove the battery compartment cover by sliding it away from the device.
yRemove the used batteries and replace them with new ones.
9When replacing the batteries, you have 2 minutes to place new ones in the

for loss of user data.
yMake sure to place the batteries according to the polarity marks (+ -) inside the
compartment.
yReplace the battery compartment cover by sliding it toward the device. Make
sure the cover sits in place properly.
9The SDN 440T is equipped with a jack for external power supply.
9Use of an inappropriate external power supply may cause failure of the
device and may void the warranty. The AC/DC adapter should provide 6V
and min 300mA DC.
9Communication with a PC consumes a considerable amount of energy. Always
try to use an external power supply during these operations.
Initialization
The initialization routine is started:
▫when the device is turned on for the first time;
▫when you remove the batteries (e.g. during replacement);
▫after the system has been reset with the RESET button.
9The RESET button is located on the right-hand side of the keyboard (over the
O button). It can be accessed with any thin object like a paper clip. Never use
a needle or pin for this purpose since it can damage the device.
yIf you see Initialize system?(y/n), press the N button to abort initialization and
customization.
yThen you will see the Delete user's data? message. Press the N button to save
