Using the Device

Charging the Device

When you receive the Orbit Magna 3, it may be already charged; however, we recommend that it be fully charged before first use.
To charge the device, use the supplied Standard-A to Mini-B USB cable provided with the unit. Insert the small end of the cable into the Orbit Magna 3’s USB port.
It should slide in without resistance; do not force it. Now insert the large end of the cable into a standard AC adapter with a USB-A port. Plug the adapter into an AC wall connector.
The LED light will turn red during charging and will turn off when the device is fully charged. Please charge the battery fully before first use. If the low battery warning is displayed, charge the device immediately.
Note : Charge the battery with the device turned off to prolong its service life. Avoid charging while the device is in use.

Power On and Off
Press and hold the Power button for a few seconds to turn the device on or off. If no buttons are pressed for 3 minutes, the Magna 3 will automatically turn off to conserve power.

Operating the device

• When you turn the device on for the first time, it will be set to magnification level 2. This is displayed as 2x on the screen. The contrast mode will be set to normal, i.e., there is no contrast enhancement. When you change any of the se settings, the settings will be automatically memorized, and the unit will apply these settings when it is used next.
• To use the device to read text printed on a flat surface such as a magazine or newspaper, place the device on the text. Slide the magnifier to the right to continue reading the line until you reach the end of the line. Then move it to the left and downwards to the start of the next line and continue reading.

Zoom

Use the Magnification button to adjust the magnification. Each press of the button increases the magnification through the following levels: 2x, 3x, 4x, 6x, 8x, 12x, 16x, 20x, 24x and 32x. Pressing the Magnification button again after 32x sets the magnification back to 2x.
A long press (1.5 seconds or longer) on the Magnification button decreases the magnification by one level. This allows you to rapidly increase and decrease magnification.
A long press (1.5 seconds or longer) of the Pause/Play button will return the magnification and contrast settings to the defaults of 2x and Normal Picture (no contrast enhancement), respectively.

Contrast Enhancement
The Orbit Magna 3 offers 16 Contrast Enhancement modes. Press the Color mode button ⬕ to cycle through the modes and choose the one that provides the best results.

• Black on White

If no picture is displayed on the screen when you press the Playback button this indicates that either there is no memory card inserted or the card does not contain any photographs.

Connecting to a Computer
Connect the device to a computer via the supplied USB Mini-B cable to download pictures from the Orbit Magna 3. The computer will detect the Magna 3 as a Mass Storage device and you can use the computer’s file management features to copy the pictures.

• If the image on the screen is dark or distorted, make sure the unit is positioned flat on the page and that the foot of the magnifier is fully extended.
• If there are smudges or blemishes on the screen, clean both the screen and the lens located between the LED lights on the underside of the unit.
