Manual for Yeno 540XT in English Wanted

[BrianM]

I have just acquired a Yeno 540XT from Ebay but without a manual despite what the seller stated. Does anyone have a copy in English? It is very similar to the Lexibook Chessman Elite but the 540XT has extra features due to it having an LCD.

I have done a web search and Alain Zanchetta's web site has a German version. If all else fails I will try and translate this to English using FreeOCR and Google Translate.

Thanks

For now you can use my translated manual.
I'll let it be downloadable for a short time:

Thank you. I have downloaded the file and it describes the features that I could not work out - e.g. the "learning mode". Can I suggest that you offer the pdf to Alain Zanchetta for inclusion on his web site.

The manual sates that take-back is limited to 5 ply. I find that my 540XT can take back 12 ply.

Brian,

Does it allow Take Back of 12 ply even if all moves "are out of book"?

Even the box says 5 moves, maybe it's 5 full moves (10 half-moves?)

For the related 430XT the manual says 6 half-moves?!

If you think the quality is enough, I'll send it to Alain.

To test take-back I selected multi-move level and then moved all the pawns one by one, one square forward so that the all the white pawns were on rank 2 and all the black pawns were on rank 7. Repeatedly using take-back moved 6 black and 6 white pawns back to their original squares before sounding an error.

Best regards,
