4. Basic Functions
This section will describe how to use the basic features of the iQon to
magnify text and images. Follow the instructions in section 2 (Setting
Up) before you begin using the unit.
4.1 Power button
Press the power button to turn on the unit. Pressing the power button
again will turn off the unit. Note that during the operation of the iQon
any user settings and preferences will be automatically saved so that
when the unit is powered up it will revert to the previously used settings.
A blue LED on the main unit and a green LED on the keypad unit
indicates that the units are receiving power.
4.2 Agilo Reading Mode
The Agilo can be used to read text or view images in reading mode.
Place the material you want to read on the
table or desk close to where the Agilo arm has
been clamped.
Pull the lens arm down so that the reading
lens is over the camera lens, see opposite
figure.
Position the Agilo arm and camera so that the
reading material is directly underneath the camera lens. The camera
should focus on the page automatically. If not then either move the
camera closer or further away until it does.
4.3 Agilo Distance Mode
The Agilo can also be used to read distant
objects or text (such as a classroom
whiteboard) when in distance mode.
Firstly, ensure that the reading lens is not
covering the lens by lifting up the lens arm
up so that it rests above the camera, see
opposite figure. Position the camera so
that it is pointing at the distant object. The
camera should focus automatically.
