Talking Bible Operators Guide

The Talking Bible comes in a plastic case that looks and feels like a small book. Orient the unit so that the spine of the book is on the left, and the rough texture is facing up. On the top edge of the unit are from left to right, a round button used to select between Old and New Testaments, if the unit is equipped with multiple languages, this button also moves among the different recorded languages. Second from the top left of the unit is a rotary knob used to turn the unit on or off, and increase or decrease the volume. This rotary knob clicks to indicate as you turn the unit on or off. The third object from the top left is the headphone jack. After turning the unit on, it takes a couple of seconds before the Talking Bible starts playing.

On the right side of the unit there are four arrow-shaped buttons which are used to navigate between Bible books and chapters. There is a single raised dot between the two sets of these arrow-shaped buttons. The first button pointing up navigates to the next Bible book. The second button pointing down navigates to the previous Bible book. The third button pointing up navigates to the next chapter in the Bible book. The fourth button pointing down navigates to the previous chapter in the book. Quickly press any of the four buttons to navigate among Bible books, and chapters. The Third and fourth buttons which navigate to the next and previous chapters are also used as a silent fast-forward and fast-rewind within a chapter. Hold down the third or fourth button to fast-forward or to fast-rewind within the chapter.

The unit will remember the chapter and Bible book you were playing when the unit is turned off, and then turned back on.

On the front of the unit, the top half of the unit is where the built-in loud-speaker is located.

On the back of the unit, at the bottom you will find the smooth rectangle which is the solar battery if the unit is the solar-powered version.

The unit can also be charged using a USB power source. The spine of the book-like case slides down, and needs to be removed to expose the USB connector for charging the unit with a USB charger. Neither the headphones, nor the USB charger are provided with the unit. To charge the unit using the solar battery, simply place the unit face down so that the rectangular-shaped solar battery is in the sun.
