HD, please read these safety precautions very carefully.

The Acrobat HD is designed to enlarge and enhance images in order to improve the quality of life for people who are visually impaired.

The extent to which this product can improve the ability to see images depends on a person’s individual condition and level of visual impairment.

The Acrobat HD is not designed to restore vision, correct eye conditions or halt degenerative vision loss. An eyecare professional can determine the usefulness and suitability of the Acrobat HD for a patient’s individual condition. Please follow these safety precautions:

• Use the Acrobat HD on a stable, level surface such as a solid

desk or table, according to its intended design specifications.

• Avoid placing the Acrobat HD on an unstable table, cart or

stand. It may fall causing serious damage to the unit or bodily

injury to the user.

• Use the Acrobat HD indoors only – it should NOT be exposed to

extreme or rapid changes in temperature or humidity. Do not

place the Acrobat HD near a radiator, heater or areas exposed to

long hours of direct sunlight.

• Always place the power cord away from traffic areas to avoid

damage of power supply.

• Prevent the risk of electrical shock by NOT attempting to

disassemble the unit. Please refer all service to an authorized

repair facility.

Adjusting the Viewing Angle

The Acrobat HD Camera rotates 340 degrees, providing unsurpassed flexibility for the visually impaired. Do NOT force the camera beyond its

340-degree angular range as this may damage the unit.

The Acrobat HD may be used to see objects in the distance, viewing oneself and reading or writing. To change the viewing mode, simply turn the position of the Camera by rotating it on the arm.

Distance Viewing Mode

The camera can rotate forward to capture people, objects and scenery.

“Distance Viewing” is displayed in the upper-left corner of the screen when changing to this viewing angle. Be sure to open the Reading Lens for

Distance Viewing (See Figure 1).

This Distance mode enables up to 25X magnification for objects 3 feet away. In this mode, although the camera can view objects at an infinite distance, the recommended distance from camera to the distant object is within 3-30 feet to achieve maximum magnification benefit.

(See Figure 2).

Self Viewing Mode

The Camera can be rotated backwards to provide you with the equivalent of a full-length mirror. “Self Viewing” is displayed in the upper-left corner of the screen when changing to this viewing angle. In this position, you can use the Acrobat HD to help you put on make-up, shave or perform other personal hygiene (See Figure 1).

For optimum clarity, use the Zoom Lens and position yourself between

7.5”-22” away from the Camera.

7.5” - 22” (Recommended)

Reading and Writing Mode

The Camera can be adjusted downward for reading, writing and enjoying crafts or other hobbies (See Figure 1). This makes it ideal for classroom use. When the camera is rotated downward,

“Reading-Mode” is displayed in the upper-left corner of the screen.

The Acrobat HD can slide freely, left or right, along the specially designed bracket mechanism.

It is best to close the Zoom Lens when objects are placed 12”-19” away from the Camera for optimal viewing clarity.

12” - 19” (Recommended)

Focus Lock feature using the Remote:

1. Place your notepaper, stationery, checkbook or other writing material on the table.

2. Press the “Lock” button on the Remote (See Figure

ADVANCED PROGRAMING

Advanced Programming Options

The Acrobat HD has advanced capabilities for modifying the programming of the included remote control (when using multiple units) as well as changing the default language used within the setup menus. These settings are completely optional and should not be changed under normal circumstances. The information listed on the following pages are for technical reference purposes only. Please see your Enhanced

Vision representative or call our toll-free technical support should it be necessary for you to modify these settings.

Remote Codes Remote Control (Transmit) Code Change:

By default, a single remote control (and corresponding remote control code) is factory programmed and used for all Acrobat camera functions. While acceptable for most single-use applications, when 2 or more Acrobats are used within close proximity to each other (lab setting), exclusive remote control over each unit may be desired. Therefore, it is possible to modify the sending/receiving codes of the remote control and Acrobat head for exclusive use, if desired. Up to 15 unique codes can be assigned. For proper communication, both the

Remote control (transmit) and camera head

(receive) must be set to matching ID codes.

Please refer to the chart on the right for more information.

• #28 (default/factory reset):

Push MODE and FIND for 3 secs.

• #15: Push MODE and LLM- for 3 secs.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Q. How should I clean the Acrobat HD?

A. At least once per week, clean the Acrobat HD with a soft dry cloth or an electrostatic dusting wipe. DO NOT use liquid cleaners on any of the plastic surfaces.

Q. The Remote Control is not functioning properly. What should I do?

A. After ensuring you have fresh batteries installed in the remote control, please reset the remote control back to factory settings.

Simply press and hold the [FIND] and [MODE] buttons on the remote control for at least 3 seconds, or until the LED indicator begins to flash. Then, attempt normal operation of the remote control functions.

Q. Can I use the Acrobat HD with a computer?

A. Yes, the LCD of the Acrobat can be used along with a computer.

Although the Acrobat will not magnify computer images, it is possible to use the Acrobat’s built-in LCD with either the Acrobat camera or a computer (equipped with a standard DVI connection).

This permits a single LCD display to be used for either purpose. An optional DVI toggle box is specifically designed for this application. Please contact your local Enhanced Vision dealer for more details.
