Adjusting USB Cable Length
Scholar HD has an integrated cable management system in its base. This allows
the user to adjust the USB cable to precisely the correct length, so there is no
excess cable around the laptop or PC it is being used with.
The maximum length available is 110cm or 43 inches.
Increasing the cable length
1.
Ensure the Scholar HD is in its folded configuration and unplugged.
2.
Turn the Scholar HD camera over so that the base is facing upwards.
3.
At the rear of the base, the USB cable exists out of a small hole in the middle.
Feed approximately 4 cm of the cable inwards through the exit hole to help
loosen the cable.
4.
Trace the cable around the two cable grippers and carefully unwind the
additional length of cable that is required.
5.
Finally, carefully pull the unwound cable through the exit hole and ensure
the cable has been pulled tightly so that the cable does not poke through
the bottom of the base and cause the Scholar HD to be uneven.

:
USB extension cables will not work with Readit Scholar HD. If a longer cable
is required, then a mains powered USB 2.0 or above hub must be used.
