Change from traditional to simplified characters

I was having trouble changing the character display from traditional to simplified characters on the Besta CD-628. The instructions on their website are vague and state the following:

To change to either one of the style for viewing, you need to proceed to the Chinese manual first. Press “C/E” on the keyboard till you see the Chinese manual. Follow by pressing “Shift” + “Tab” on the keyboard. For some of the device, you just need to press tab.
It best to select the type of format you prefer first. Have fun!

This makes very little sense, if any.

The Solution

Making the most sense as possible from the above, I have solved the problem.

1. Use the language changing button to change the dictionary’s menu language (english, korean, japanese and chinese). The button to do this is on the far right of the ON/OFF row.
2. Cycle to the chinese menu, that is, the menu before the english menu.
3. Now press the tab button once , the screen should refresh and the characters will change from either traditional to simplified or from simplified to traditional
4. Now, when you perform a search for an english word, you can get the simplified characters rather than the traditional characters.

Hope this helped somebody out there!
