Turning Scholar HD’s camera on and off
Turning on
Scholar HD has a small integrated battery which keeps the camera in standby
mode for up to 5 days. This helps it to be instantly ready to power up when
required, as soon as it is connected to your computer.
If the battery runs completely flat, ensure it is plugged into a USB port and your
computer system is turned on, then press and hold the on / off button for 3
seconds.
The on / off button is located in the middle of the front panel of the camera head
and is slightly raised.
From off, rather than standby, Scholar HD will take approximately 25 seconds to
start up. Scholar HD’s camera lens will briefly extend and then retract once it has
completed starting up.
Turning off
There is no need to turn off the Scholar HD camera after use if it is going to be
used within the next few days. The lens will automatically retract and it will go
into a power saving mode when the Readit software it exited or the USB cable is
unplugged.
Disabling “Camera connected” notification
When the Scholar HD is plugged into a USB port and the computer and camera
are turned on, a “Camera Connected” screen will appear. This will happen by
default, every time this occurs.
