5. Change another bill and press the
CAPTURE button to start another
recognition.
If you hear the message “Please try again”
then the unit cannot read the dollar bill
either because the unit is tilted at an angle
that prevents the unit from capturing a
clear, clean, sharp image of the bill, the
camera is too close (less than 3.5”) or
too far (more than 10”) from the bill, the
camera is not pointed directly at the bill, or
the bill is not recognizable because it may
not be a U.S. dollar bill. Try reading the bill
again by re-aligning the Bill Reader to the
bill and pressing the
CAPTURE
button.
6. If you have finished reading all the bills,
leave the unit alone. The unit will enter
power saving mode automatically if it
is idle for 1 minute. You will hear the
message “Turning Off”. For maximum
power saving, slide the ON/OFF button
to the OFF position.
Switching between English

slide the switch when the unit is operating,
you will hear either “Language selection
button is set to English” or “Language
