Charging the battery:

1)  Insert the lithium battery into 

the charger base of the USB 

Bridge so that it can fully 

charge. Do not use extreme 

force when inserting the bat-

tery, as it will only fit securely 

in one direction 

(See Figure 

1)

 2)  Connect the tip of the 

included power supply to the 

“DC 12V” input port on the 

rear of the USB Bridge

  

(See Figure 2)

.

 3) Plug in the remaining end 

of the power supply to an 

available AC/mains outlet.

(See Figure 3)

.

 4)  Press the POWER button 

on the front of the USB 

Bridge. When the battery is 

charging, the red “CHARGE” 

indicator illuminate.

 

(See Figure 4).

 5)  When the “CHARGE” indicator begins to blink, 

the battery has fully charged. Resume normal 

USB Bridge operation as described on page 14.

general tips

•  Use caution when attaching the output of your 

Enhanced Vision product to the CAMERA input 

of the USB Bridge. The specially designed 

connector will only fit in one direction. Once 

attached, it should not be removed under normal 

circumstances.

•  Do not disconnect the USB cable from your PC or 

the USB Bridge while the software application is 

running. This may cause your system to become 

unstable. Always exit the software application 

before disconnecting the USB cable.

Using acrobat ntSC/pal 

with the USB Bridge

•  The Acrobat (long or 

short arm version) is 

compatible with the USB 

Bridge.

•  Using a new, fully charged lithium battery, the USB 

Bridge will supply portable power to your Acrobat 

NTSC/PAL for approximately 2 hours*

•  Be sure to use the Acrobat with sufficient ambient 

lighting. Because this device projects a magnified, 

camera-based image, adequate lighting will 

ensure that the best picture quality is obtained.

*Estimated times only. Actual usage times will vary 

based on the life cycle remaining on the battery.
