Remove the battery handle from the Looky
HD
if you do not intend to use it for an
extended period of time. This will improve the longevity of the battery handle.
Batteries are sensitive to overcharging. It is recommended to only charge the battery
handle when it is completely drained.
Chargeable Lithium-Ion batteries have an auto discharge that strongly depends on the
temperature of the environment (e.g. never leave the battery handle in a car that is
parked in direct sunlight).
New Lithium-Ion batteries must be charged several times before reaching their nominal
capacity.
Charge Lithium-Ion batteries at least once every 6 months.
The average lifespan of the battery handle is usually 300 charging cycles, but this
depends on the use. Total capacity will slowly decrease after multiple charging cycles.
8. Folding handle
The Looky
HD
comes with a replaceable foldable handle with a built-in battery. This handle can
be used in several positions.
When the handle is extended, you can use the Looky as a magnifier. The closer you get to the
object, the bigger the magnification will be. You can also hold the Looky
HD
up to see distant
objects as the Looky
HD
can focus from 5cm to infinity.
It is also possible to use the Looky
HD
with the handle folded in. You can easily set the device
on the table and it will automatically stand at an angle. The magnification will then be about
8x. This is easier when you want some stability during the reading of texts.
9. Switching the Looky
HD
on or off
To switch the Looky
HD
on, press the ON/OFF button once. You will hear a scaled sound
increasing in pitch.
To switch the Looky
HD
off, press the ON/OFF button for 3 seconds. You will hear a scaled sound
decreasing in pitch.
When you have the Looky
HD
switched on, and it doesn’t detect any movement on the screen, it
will switch itself off after 3 minutes. A two-pitched signal will be heard.
10. Focusing the Looky
HD
The Looky
HD
uses a push-to-focus method to focus the image on the screen. Simply touch the
screen on the section where you want the Looky
HD
to focus; the camera will focus on that area.
