Adjusting the Viewing Angle

The Acrobat VGA 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 VGA 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).

Advanced Programming Options

The Acrobat LCD has advanced capabilities for modifying the programming of the included remote control 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 chart listed below is for 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.

troUbleShootinG

Q. How should I clean the Acrobat VGA?

A. At least once per week, clean the Acrobat VGA 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 VGA with a computer?

A. Although the Acrobat will not magnify computer images, it is possible to share your external VGA monitor with either the Acrobat camera or a computer, without the need to detach any cables.

This permits a single LCD display to be used for either purpose. An optional VGA toggle box is specifically designed for this application.

Please contact your local Enhanced Vision dealer for more details.

Q. I cannot connect to my monitor because it only has DVI inputs?

A. The Acrobat VGA outputs a standard, 15-pin, analog VGA signal.

Certain newer displays may only be equipped with a 24 pin digital input (DVI) for digital signals. In this case, a simple VGA to DVI adapter may be required to make the proper connection and is available at most electronic and computer retail stores. Please contact your local Enhanced Vision dealer or call technical support for more details.

The Acrobat VGA video magnifier is designed to enlarge and enhance images to improve the lives of people who have low vision. The extent to which the Acrobat VGA can improve the ability to see images and text depends on a person’s individual condition and level of visual impairment. The Acrobat VGA is not designed to restore vision, correct eye conditions or halt degenerative vision loss. An eye care professional can best determine the suitability of the Acrobat VGA for a patient’s specific condition. For more information, please visit www.enhancedvision.com.
