eSommelier User Guide
Greetings
Congratulations on your purchase of eSommelier! You are now in possession of the most
comprehensive wine management system that we know of, one that will help you get the
most value and enjoyment out of your collection now and in the future. The eSommelier
system is designed to give you precise overviews of wines and bottles in your collection,
with complete descriptive data. In addition to eSommelier's powerful sorting and
filtering features, you can also customize your entries with notes and commentary, print
out customized bar code labels, export your collection information to other applications,
and browse expert tasting notes on web sites that you subscribe to.
Please take a few moments to read through this setup guide, which will familiarize you
with the hardware and software that make up the eSommelier system.
Before You Begin
Before setting up eSommelier, please read the following safeguards and retain them for
future reference:
Cleaning: Clean your eSommelier touchscreen with a lightly dampened cloth. Do not use
liquid, abrasive, or aerosol cleaners, as these can permanently damage the touch panel.
Ventilation: Slots and openings in the eSommelier unit are provided for ventilation. Do
not block these openings or allow them to be obstructed.
Power Source: eSommelier is designed to work with the power supply provided. Do
not use any other power source.
No User Serviceable Parts: Do not attempt to service eSommelier yourself, as opening
or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
What's In The Box
The eSommelier system requires no prior technical expertise, and is designed to make the
cataloging and management of your collection simple and expedient. Before you install
and power up your system, let's begin by getting familiar with the components:
Touchscreen
The full-color, 15.6-inch LCD touchscreen is the main interface between you and your
wine collection. You enter and browse information by simply touching the appropriate
options in the on-screen interface. For some activities, eSommelier provides you with an
on-screen QWERTY-style keyboard, which lets you enter wine data including personalized
notes, reminders and impressions.
Barcode Scanner
The eSommelier barcode scanner makes it easy to retrieve information on any bottle in
your collection. Simply point the scanner's red laser at the barcode on the label you've
created for any bottle, and the wine's data will appear on the screen.
