clear, life-like pronunciation of English words and phrases.

Unlike other portable electronic dictionaries, the Language

Teacher® ER586HT “Partner” features a break-through

combination of two parallel input devices: a well-designed

63-button keyboard and a high-resolution touch-sensitive

display, which makes it functionally analogous to a mouse-

equipped computer.

♦Note: As continuous efforts are made by the manufacturer

to ensure a better quality and performance of the

Language Teacherproducts, some characteristics or the

design of the actual device you purchased may slightly

differ from their description in this manual.

The Language TeacherER586HT “Partner” Integrated

Digital Language System gives you freedom of speech and

peace of mind. Enjoy your Language Teacherand make

it your personal companion.

♦Note: The Language TeacherER586HT “Partner” has

been tested for Y2K compliance. The range of correctly

calculated dates is January 1, 1900 through December 31,

2099.

Power Supply

The Language TeacherER586HT “Partner” is powered

by two (2) AAA batteries. When the batteries become

weak, a warning message will be displayed.

In order to prevent an excessive discharge of batteries and

resulting loss of data in RAM, the voice recording, the

talking function, and communication channels will be

disabled. To restore full functionality of the device and to

avoid risk of user’s data loss, replace the complete set of

batteries as soon as possible. Do not mix old and new

batteries.

•Press the ON/OFF key to turn the unit off.

•Remove the battery compartment cover by sliding it away

from the unit.

•Remove the used batteries and replace them with new ones.

•Make sure to place the batteries according to the polarity

markings (+ -) inside the compartment.

English-Russian Electronic Dictionary User's Guide

•Put back the battery compartment cover by sliding it toward

the translator. Make sure the cover sits in place properly.

♦Note: You have 2 minutes to replace the batteries without

risk of losing data stored in RAM. Do not exceed the 2

min. limit! Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer may be

held responsible for loss of user’s data.

Refer to page 9 for instructions if an initialization message

appears on the screen after replacing the batteries.

♦Note: After purchasing the Language TeacherER586HT

“Partner” remove the insulation stripe from the battery

compartment. It was installed to prevent discharge of

batteries during storage and transportation.

♦Note: Never try to remove batteries from the translator

when the power is on. This can seriously damage the

device. If you experience difficulty turning the unit off, press

the RESET button on the left-hand side of the keyboard

(next to the Q key) and reinstall the system. See page 9 for

additional information.

♦Note: The Language TeacherER586HT “Partner” is

equipped with a jack for external power supply. Contact

your dealer to order the compatible AC/DC adapter or call

+1 (800) 710-7920 within the continental US or +7 (812)

545-3838 in Russia. Use of an inappropriate external

power supply may cause failure of the unit and void

the warranty.

♦Note: Electronic communication consumes considerable

amount of energy. Try to always use an external power

supply while sending electronic messages.

Initialization

When you turn the Language Teacher® ER586HT

“Partner” on for the first time or after the system has been

reset by pressing the RESET button or removing the

batteries for longer than 2 minutes, the initialization routine

is started. Depending on the state of the system recovery

resources either the prompt Initialize System? or the

message System Initialized. may appear. In the former

case, press ESC or touch the button to abort

initialization and preserve user’s data and customization.*

The latter message signals that a system initialization has

been accomplished, resulting in freeing memory and

restoring the factory defined settings. Also, user may be

prompted to conduct the touch-screen calibration, which

accounts for a proper spacing and alignment of touch-

sensitive screen elements. Please refer to page 145 for the

procedure description.

Another consideration upon the first use or a completed

system initialization is that the interface language will be

reset to Russian. Users that prefer to see menus and

messages in English are referred to page 142 for

instructions.

Keyboard

The American standard QWERTY keyboard combined with

the Russian standard ЙЦУКЕН layout allows you to enter

any word just in seconds†.

*If you confirm the prompt, you can still prevent initialization by

canceling the ensuing prompt All data will be deleted?

†A phonetic Russian layout is also available (see page 148).
