1 Congratulations with your ClearView+

Congratulations on the purchase of your ClearView+from Optelec.

ClearView+is an autofocus desktop video magnification system designed to

assist people with low vision. ClearView+enables you to enjoy reading,

writing, viewing photos, doing hobbies, crafts and lots more.

colours, with adjustable brightness and contrast. ClearView+is a practical

help at home, at work and at school.

ClearView+features unique functionality. With emphasis on user-ergonomics,

the operation panel is integrated in the X/Y table and is leading in simplicity.

Autofocus is incorporated as a standard on each ClearView+model. The

customized ClearView+monitors can be tilted to prevent glare and light

reflections, as well as positioned for added comfort. For those purchasing the

customized ClearView+TFT flat screen monitor, the viewing angle and height

of the monitor is adjustable.

Read this manual thoroughly before setting up and using your system. If you

have any further questions or requirements after reading this manual, do not

hesitate to contact us or your local dealer.

This user manual covers all present models of ClearView+.The ClearView+is

assembled from different modules. It is possible that your model does not

2 Safety and care

Read these instructions carefully before setting up your system. Keep this

user manual as a guide for future reference.

•Use the ClearView+indoors. Do not expose the unit to extreme or rapid

changes in temperature or humidity. Do not place ClearView+near a

radiator or heater, or where it will be exposed to direct sunlight. These

conditions may cause damage to the unit’s electronics or optics.

•Do not place this system on an unstable surface. It may fall, causing

serious damage to the unit or injuries to the user.

•If using your own monitor on top of the ClearView+system, be sure that it

does not weigh more than 16 kg, or is larger than a 20”screen. The

monitor platform is designed to hold a maximum of 16 kg.

•Grip on the monitor firmly when adjusting it in place to guarantee stability

of the entire system.

•The X/Y table and monitor contain moving parts. Please take care when

adjusting the screen position and operating the X/Y table. Injury may occur

if fingers or lose items of clothing are caught in the operating mechanisms.

If you have difficulty in operating the unit safely, please seek advice or

contact your supplier.

•Contact your dealer to service this equipment if necessary. Do not open

your unit as it will void the warranty.

•If moving the ClearView+to another location, disconnect the monitor from

the Base unit for safe and easy transport. Carry the ClearView+Base unit

by the two recessed grips at both sides of the Base unit table.

•Always turn the power off when the system is not in use.

•Always unplug the system before cleaning. Use a soft damp cloth to clean

the exterior. Do not use cleaning agents or abrasive materials as they will

damage your unit.

•Use only the power adapter provided.

3 Unpacking, installation and setup

The ClearView+is a modular system with a standard VGA output. This means

you can connect your ClearView+to virtually any VGA compatible computer

monitor like CRT (tube) monitors or TFT flat screens.

Your ClearView+unit consists of a:

- Base unit with X/Y table and integrated control panel;

- Electronics box with camera module, light source and in/output

connectors. You can choose between a:Black/White unit, Colour unit or

a SVGA computer compatible unit with Picture-in-Picture functionality;

- Monitor plate (optional). A monitor plate is needed when you choose to

place your own VGA compatible monitor on top of the ClearView+.

- Customized ClearView+monitor (optional). ClearView+is offered with

the following monitor options; Black/White CRT, Colour CRT or TFT flat

screen monitor. The angle of the CRT monitor can be adjusted. For

units using a flat screen TFT monitor, the height of the screen can also

be adjusted. Both monitors can only be used on top of the unit.

A monitor plate is not necessary.

- Feature pack (optional). The Feature pack provides extra optional

functionality (see chapter 5 & 6) to the Colour- and Black/White units. It

is necessary for operating the SVGA unit.

- Power supply and cables to connect the ClearView+to a wall outlet.

- This User manual, an installation sheet and an operation sheet.

**If your ClearView+system is supplied in separate modules, see the

accompanying installation sheet to install the different modules.

Unpack all modules carefully before installation. After installation, you may

turn on the ClearView+by pressing the small, red on/off button on the XY

table. This will power both the Base unit and monitor. It takes approximately

10 seconds for the camera unit to initialize, before displaying an image.

Within approximately 1 minute the ClearView+light source will reach full

brightness providing optimal image quality.

the ClearView+. It provides easy access to the control buttons and steady

movement of the table.

Switching On / Off

Press the On/Off button to power both the system and monitor. The

ClearView+will start up in the same colour mode as it was powered

off. A non-ClearView+monitor needs to be switched on/off separately.

Adjusting magnification

Turn the zoom button, at the centre of the table, clockwise to increase

magnification and counter-clockwise to decrease the magnification.

Autofocus lock

The ClearView+features an automatic focusing system. The system

automatically focuses on any material placed under the camera to

produce a sharp onscreen image. When the ClearView+is switched

on, the system will start in the autofocus mode.

Pressing the autofocus button stops the ClearView+from continuously

focusing. This is useful for tasks such as writing, painting or enjoying

crafts. When the autofocus is in the locked mode, a red light on the

central control button (mode / zoom) will be illuminated. To turn

autofocus back on, simply press the autofocus button again. The red

indicator light will turn off.
