The Basics
Reading/Magnification Cameras
Eye-Pal Ace has two 5 mega pixel cameras. Both cameras work simultaneously to
take a snapshot of your material. Position the document sideways in front of Eye-
Pal Ace.
The optimal camera-viewable area is a letter/A4 paper-sized (8.5" by 11")
rectangle alongside the front of the device.
Object Lighting
Both cameras automatically provide sufficient lighting when taking a snapshot. No
additional light is needed even in a dark room.
Speakers
Any material with printed text placed in front of Eye-Pal Ace will be read out loud
using built-in speakers.
Reading with the Eye-Pal Ace for the First Time
Before first use, the Eye-Pal Ace’s battery needs to be charged. Plug your Eye-Pal
Ace into the outlet using the power supply provided, and let it charge for two
hours.
After the device has been charging for two hours, place a document in front of the
Eye-Pal Ace, with the text’s side margin (right or left margin is fine) alongside the
Ace’s screen. Turn on the Eye-Pal Ace device. You will hear a series of beeps
followed by the announcement: “Main Menu: Scan and Read”.
Press the SCAN button once – you will hear a shutter sound. The Eye-Pal Ace
device will start reading the text almost immediately after that.
Press the SCAN button only once. Do not press any other buttons when doing the
scan-and-read operation, as it will interrupt the scanning/reading process.
Buttons and menu navigation are described in detail in the Buttons, Controls and
Connections section and the Navigation and Settings section of this document.
