Turning the OrCam Device On or Off and Suspending
Before you turn the OrCam device on or off it is recommended that you wear your
glasses with the OrCam head unit mounted. This enables you to hear the device
messages. To conserve battery power, the OrCam device has an automatic
suspend feature. If you do not trigger the device in some way, the device
automatically goes into Suspend mode after three minutes of inactivity.
To turn your OrCam device on or off:
1.
To turn the device on, press the POWER button on the Base Unit. The
device vibrates. After approximately one minute you will hear, “OrCam
Version 7 is ready. Battery is [this many] percent charged.”
2.
If you did not hear the phrase, “OrCam is ready,” or you are not sure that
the unit is on, press one of the volume buttons (UP or DOWN). If the
device is on you will hear a response to your action. If the device is off or
in the first minute of starting up you will not hear anything.
3.
To turn the device off, press the power button once. You will hear the
message “press again to shut down”. Press the power button a second
time. You will hear, “Shutting down, please wait”. Right before the unit
shuts down completely, the device says “Power off, Bye Bye”.
To enter or exit Suspend mode:
1.
To enter Suspend mode, press the POWER button once. The device
announces “Suspending. Press again to shut down”, then announces
“Suspending” and automatically goes into Suspend Mode.
2.
To enter Suspend mode Press the TRIGGER or VOLUME button. You will
hear OrCam say, “Waking up. Battery is [this many] percent charged.”
Automatic Shut Off
– When the OrCam device is not used for about three hours,
it shuts itself off. This reduces the chance of unnecessarily depleting the battery.
