Power

Push the power button on the TV-Eye. The lights will be visible if you
look at the camera from the underside. If the lights cannot be seen
adjust the dimmer control to full (rotated fully towards you).

Mode

When the mode button is pressed one of the four different modes will
be activated in succession. The choice is:

Full colour mode (photo/picture mode).

Grey scale (this is colour mode in black and white).

Enhanced positive mode (high contrast black on white).

Enhanced negative mode (high contrast white on black).

Magnification

The magnification is adjusted by pressing the magnification button.
The + button increases in six steps x4, x6, x7, x8, x10 and x12. The
magnification button next to it  reduces the magnification.
These magnifications are based on an 18.5-inch screen. If a larger
screen is used the overall magnifications will be greater.

Focus

The TV-Eye is fixed focus and needs to be placed on the metal stand
provided to ensure the correct focusing. It is designed to work with
documents of less than 1cm thickness. If thicker documents need to be
read the TV-Eye can be placed on an extra spacer to make it higher.

TIP: 

Flatten documents or newspapers. If necessary separate 
newspaper pages then flatten them.

Brightness, contrast and colour controls

These are adjusted on your television. It may be necessary to
experiment with the different display settings e.g.: movie, sport, vivid,
dynamic or user to achieve the desired results. Every television is
different. If in doubt ask someone to help you.
