Make your
choice!
The choice of the model depends on your practical needs.
If you need only text processing and reading books, an inexpensive non-talking
model will be the right choice. If you intend to use your dictionary for
communication, on trips abroad, or for studying foreign languages, you will
certainly need a model with a "speech synthesizer". And if you need a high-end
linguistic microcomputer with the built-in bi-directional full text automatic
translation system - Partner® is your choice!
-

My dictionary has a reserve
battery. How often should I replace it?
The reserve battery lasts
for 1 year, according to the specification. However, in reality it often lasts
more than 2 years.

the dictionary while replacing the reserve battery?
Not if you
complete the replacement within 5-10 minutes (which is quite enough for such a
simple procedure).

got the message on my display: "System initialization. Press (Y/N) key." What
should I do?
Press "Y" twice if you want to restore the factory

dictionary yourself. Press "N" if you want to keep your information.
