Congratulations on your purchase of one of the Max family of prod-
ucts. Enhanced Vision products are designed to give you the highest 
quality and convenience available. 

Max products use the latest advances in video and display technol-
ogy to provide you with a portable system that addresses the need for 
magnification of text, pictures, and much more. 

Max products consist of an auto focus camera, which captures and 
projects images on to either a TV, a pair of Enhanced Vision LCD 
glasses, a LCD flat screen, a computer monitor or laptop computer 
(additional hardware may be required).  Images can be switched be-
tween true color, black & white, high contrast positive or nega-tive.  
The camera has been designed so either a right or left-handed user 
would be able to use it very effectively, with a minimum amount of 
practice and/or training. 

Prior to using this system, please carefully read and follow the instruc-
tions provided within this booklet. A thorough understanding of the 
functionality will allow you to fully benefit from the flexibility and 
great features of this device. 

If you have any questions, please contact the eyecare professional or 
the supplier from whom you have acquired the unit.
