•Keep the unit away from wet areas, rain and other sources of fluid,

moisture and chemicals. Do not submerge the unit.

Box contents

Your ReadEasy Evolve box contains the following items:

1. ReadEasy Evolve digital capture reading system.

2. ReadEasy Evolve camera (stored in the back of the ReadEasy

Evolve).

3. Power brick and power cable.

4. White contrast / positioning mat.

5. Laminated Quick Reference Guide.

6. This User Manual.

7. Over ear headphones.

8. Optional Wireless Control Pad (if Feature Pack purchased).

If any of these items are missing from your box, please contact your local

distributor immediately.

Unpacking

Lift out the cardboard tray containing the power brick (in its own box),

power cable, headphones and documentation.

Next, remove the white contrast / positioning mat which is on top of the

ReadEasy Evolve unit.

Finally, lift the ReadEasy Evolve out of the box and carefully remove its

side packaging.

Place the ReadEasy Evolve onto a stable flat surface where it is going to

be used.

If you have purchased the optional Feature Pack, the Wireless Control

Pad will also be included. Remove this if present and required.

Carry Handle

The ReadEasy Evolve features an integrated carry handle making it safe

to move from room-to-room.

The carry handle is built into the top of the unit. It sits flush when not in use.

By lifting the handle into its raised position, it is easy to grasp and move

the unit.

You can lower the handle back down by gently pushing it down until it sits

flush with the unit.

Positioning for use

When placing the ReadEasy Evolve onto a surface for use, ensure it is

clean, flat and large enough for you to position the items you wish to read.

Ensure that the unit is not directly underneath any bright lighting, as this

could affect its accuracy when reading glossy documents.

Pull upwards

Plugging in

1. Plug the power cable into the power brick.

2. Plug the tip of the power brick into the ReadEasy Evolve’s power

socket. With the ReadEasy Evolve facing towards you, run your index

finger up the back of the unit on the far left-hand side. 2.5 inches (6cm)

up, you should feel a round area with a round recess. This is where

the tip of the power brick should be inserted.

3. Insert the mains plug into a wall socket and ensure it is switched on.

Camera

The ReadEasy Evolve features a unique, magnetised, easy release

camera system. The camera can be located in the A4 or A3 camera

position depending on the size of your document.

Removing the camera from its stored position

The camera arm is stored within the ReadEasy Evolve, at the back of the

unit, along the bottom. With the ReadEasy Evolve facing towards you, run

your fingers 1 inch (2.5cm) up the back of the left edge. You will feel a half

circle shaped cut-out. Push the camera head backwards using this recess

and fully remove it.

Unfolding the camera

With the camera removed from the unit, it then needs to be unfolded. When

the camera is folded, the part of the camera that will insert into the A4 or

A3 positions is slightly shorter. It

also has a rectangular USB port

which sits flush with the bottom of

the shorter section.

Unfold the camera (90 degrees)

so it is ready to be inserted into

the A4 or A3 camera position.

Plugging in the camera

Positioning the camera into the A4 position provides the absolute maximum

recognition accuracy for standard and smaller documents, allowing text as

small as 5 point to be read. This is ideal for reading food packaging,

medication, small print on terms and conditions etc.

Positioning the camera into the A3 position allows larger documents to be

read such as tabloid newspapers, large format books, both left and right

pages of a magazine etc. This allows text as small as 6 point to be read.

The A4 slot for the camera (coloured silver) is located on the top of the

ReadEasy Evolve unit, at the back, 2.5 inches (6cm) from the left-hand

side. The A3 slot is located 2 inches (5 cm) in front of this. Both slots have

a dust cover which springs back into position when the camera is removed.

With the shorter arm containing the USB port facing downwards and the

other part of the arm facing towards you, angle the camera head a few

degrees forwards and slowly insert the camera into either the A4 or A3

camera position.

For the A4 camera position (the rear slot) the camera will slide down

approximately 5 inches (13 cm).

For the A3 camera position (the front slot) the camera will slide down just

1.5 inches (4 cm).
