important saFety preCautions
For your safety and to obtain the most benefit and life from the
Acrobat LCD, please read these safety precautions very carefully.
The Acrobat LCD 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 LCD 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 LCD for
a patient’s individual condition. Please follow these safety precau-
tions:
• Use the Acrobat LCD on a stable, level surface such as a solid
desk or table, according to its intended design specifications.
• Avoid placing the Acrobat LCD 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 LCD indoors only – it should NOT be exposed to
extreme or rapid changes in temperature or humidity. Do not
place the Acrobat LCD 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 LCD 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 LCD 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).

upper-left corner of the screen when changing to this viewing angle.
In this position, you can use the Acrobat LCD 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.

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 LCD 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.
