Getting started

The Compact 7 HD is placed correctly in front of you when the screen is facing up, and the large white button and orange on / off switch are at the bottom of the screen.

Using the Compact 7 HD in the closed or open position
The Compact 7 HD can be used in two ways: in the closed or open position.In the closed position, hold the unit in your hand and point the camera (located at the back of the unit) to the object or text you wish to view or read. The closed position is ideal for quickly scanning and viewing objects or documents.

In the open position, the screen will be set at an ergonomic angle for reading, and the camera will point downward. The open position enables you to read longer texts thanks to the integrated reading stand.
To open the unit, follow these steps:

1. Place the Compact 7 HD in front of you so that the screen is facing up, and the large white button and orange on / off switch are at the bottom of the screen.
2. Press the white-colored button located in the centre at the bottom of the screen.
   The screen will open, and the Compact 7 HD will switch on.

Cleaning the camera lens and mirror
For an optimal quality image, it is recommended to ensure that the camera lens and object light mirror are kept clean. A dirty lens will result in a fuzzy image and may cause the autofocus camera to incorrectly focus. A clean object light mirror is important for preventing dark or light spots and for ensuring an evenly lit image. To clean the camera lens and mirror, use the provided cleaning cloth or another soft lens cleaning cloth. Note: Do not use water or cleaning agents to clean the lens and mirror.
Buttons
The Compact 7 HD has the following buttons:

| Pressing the white button in the centre at the bottom of the screen will open the Compact 7 HD and switch the unit on.
---|---
| Pressing the Mode button to the left of the screen allows you to select one of the viewing modes. Pressing this button for three seconds will turn off the object lighting. Pressing this button for three seconds again, will turn back on the object lighting.
| Pressing the + or – button to the right of the screen allows you to increase or decrease the magnification. Pressing the + and – buttons simultaneously for one second will allow you to enter or exit the Compact 7 HD menu.
| The snapshot button located on the top right of the unit allows you to take a temporary picture of a distant text or image, enabling you to bring the image closer to your eyes.
| Pressing the oval orange button, located right of the white Open button in the centre at the bottom of the screen, for one second, will switch the unit on and off.
12V DC IN jack| The 12V DC IN jack is located on the left side at the bottom corner of the Compact 7 HD. The power supply cable connects to this jack.
Use only the indicated power supply that comes with the Compact 7 HD to power and charge the unit.
| The camera of the Compact 7 HD is located at the back of the unit. To the left and right of the camera are two object lights that are used when the unit is in the closed position.

Switching the power on and off
To switch on the Compact 7 HD for the first time, the unit needs to be charged. Once charged, press the orange oval on / off switch located on the right of the white Open button in the centre at the bottom of the screen for one second. The unit will start up in the mode in which it was switched off. To switch off the Compact 7 HD, press the orange oval button again for one second.

Adjusting the magnification
To change the magnification settings of the unit, simply press the + or – button located on the right side of the screen. Press the + button to increase or the – button to decrease the magnification. In the open position, when placed on a document, the magnification level starts at 2.5 times and can be increased to 30 times. The Compact 7 HD is equipped with an auto-focus camera. This allows you to use the unit while holding it in your hands in the closed position. This will provide more overview, but this will decrease the minimum and maximum magnification levels.

Selecting a viewing mode

Negative mode: Reading in high contrast, white on black

Charging the battery

Charging the Compact 7 HD
The Compact 7 HD is delivered with a power supply and four country-specific power plugs in EU, US, UK, and AU types. Select the power plug that corresponds to your country and plug it to the power supply.
To charge the Compact 7 HD, connect the power supply to the 12V DC IN jack located on the left side of the unit. Plug the other end of the power supply into a power outlet. The orange LED indicator next to the 12V DC IN jack will glow continuously while the Compact 7 HD is charging. Once the unit is fully charged, the LED indicator will turn green. If the LED indicator flashes, there is a charging problem. In this case, disconnect the power supply and try again.
Charging the Compact 7 HD takes approximately 3.5 hours. A fully charged Compact 7 HD can operate for an average time of 5 hours, depending on the power settings. Please note that, for safety reasons, only the power supply that was delivered with the Compact 7 HD can be used to charge the unit’s battery.

Standby and Auto Power Off
The Compact 7 HD will automatically go into standby mode after two minutes if no button is pressed or no image change is detected. Pressing any button will wake up the unit. Four minutes after the Compact 7 HD goes into standby mode, the unit will automatically switch off. Pressing the orange on / off button will switch it back on. The standby time and power-off time can be changed or disabled in the Compact 7 HD menu. Please refer to the next chapter on how to change these settings.
