Operation/application modes
You can use the device either by holding it in your hand, placed on the
subject material (contact) or in the writing position.
Hand-held operation: If you are using the device in hand-held operation,
fold the stand in and move the device at a suitable distance above the subject
material.
Contact operation: For contact operation, fold the stand on the underside of the device out completely. Place the smartlux DIGITAL on the subject material which is to be magnified.
Writing position:
You can also use the smartlux DIGITAL for writing underneath it.
To do this, fold the stand out as far as the first snapin position and
position the device vertically.
Use of the lanyard
If you want to hang the device round your neck, take the lanyard supplied and
thread it from the outside housing hole to the hole towards the middle of the
housing through the eyelet (9). Otherwise, the lanyard can slide into the
inside of the device.
Charging the internal battery:
Before using the smartlux DIGITAL for the first time, you need to fully charge
the internal battery! To charge it, connect the cable from the mains adapter
supplied to the charging socket (10) on the smartlux DIGITAL. Now plug the
mains adapter into a suitable mains socket using the relevant mains plug type.
Charging takes about 2 hours. The charging indicator LED (11) will illuminate
red during the charging process. The charging check LED goes out once the
charging process is complete. When charging is complete, disconnect the mains
adapter from the plug and from the smartlux DIGITAL. You can use the
device during the charging process. This will extend the charging time.
The charging status of the internal battery is shown at the top screen border
when the device is switched on.

available for images, this will be shown on the start screen top border by a
red, crossed-out diskette symbol.
