No, you cannot switch this French pen to German with the tiptoi manager. The pen is designed for French and only supports one language per device. For German you need a separate German pen, as a firmware change is only possible under certain conditions and only German firmware has been available for the player with tiptoi so far. Download suitable audio files for the original language via the tiptoi manager.
No, the pen is not WLAN or similar. You download the content for each book or game to the pen via a computer application (and charge the pen's battery!) and then it works. But it is important to know that you have to download new books and games via computer and then load them onto the pen.
The new generation of the pen no longer has a headphone connection. The 4th generation pen has an integrated rechargeable battery and is charged via a micro USB cable or a separate charging station, which also loads audio files onto the pen via Wi-Fi. A headphone connection is not mentioned in the official information and is not visible in the pictures.
First you need to connect the pen to a PC and download the tiptoi app. Then you select the book you'd like to use so that it can be 'downloaded' onto the pen and used with it.
To connect the tiptoi pen with a computer, it is not necessary to use a special cable. The tiptoi pen generally works via the tiptoi Manager application, which must be downloaded and installed on the computer. Make sure that the computer meets the system requirements, such as an x86-compatible Intel processor, Windows or Mac OS X, and an Internet connection. If you have any problems, check that the pen is switched on and that the batteries are inserted correctly. In the event of automatic disconnection, disconnect the pen briefly and then reconnect it.
The charging cable is a standard USB cable.
For the new one, which I bought for my grandchildren, it's a micro USB cable on the tiptoi side, as far as I remember, and USB A on the computer (or charger) side.
Hello Tabea
The pen itself has no Wi-Fi function, only the charging station! The Wi-Fi can also be switched on there by pressing a button (to synchronise the books) and then it switches off again automatically.
I hope I was able to answer your question.
Greetings and a great weekend Michi
