USING THE ACROBAT HD ULTRA w/PORTABLE
MONITOR
The Acrobat HD Ultra w/Portable Monitor can be used with the power
supply connected - or - using its own internal battery. The system is
shipped from the factory with the battery disabled. Prior to first use the
‘Battery Off/On’ Switch needs to be placed into the ‘ON’ position (See
Figure 1). The switch is located on the back of the portable monitor.
We strongly recommend that this switch be placed into the ‘OFF’
position when you transport the unit.
The internal battery of the Portable Monitor is partially charged when the
unit is shipped from the factory. We recommend that you fully charge the
internal battery prior to the first use. Please follow the instructions below.
Connecting the Power Supply & Charging the Battery
Connect the Power Supply & Power Supply Cord together (See Figure 2).
Connect the Power Cord to an outlet and the other end of the Power Supply to
the back of the Portable Monitor where it says “DC 19V In” (See Figures 3 & 4).
Once the Power Supply is connected to both the wall and the system, the
Portable Monitor will start charging automatically. You can use the Acrobat HD
Ultra w/Portable Monitor while charging is in process. The battery will charge
while in use as long as the system is plugged into an outlet. You cannot
overcharge the battery. However, the more charge cycles, the shorter the
battery life. Approximate charge time is 4+ hours (powered off), 5.5+ hours
(while in-use).

Turning the Monitor On/Off
To turn the Acrobat HD Ultra w/Portable Monitor on, press the Power
Button on the front of the Portable Monitor –the power symbol on the
power button will illuminate ‘Blue’. If no video signal is present, the power
button will illuminate ‘Yellow’ (Standby Mode). To turn the Portable Monitor
and Camera off, simply press and release the Power Button - the power
button illumination will turn off.
Using the Remote to Turn the Camera On/Off
The “camera only” can be powered on, and off, using the Green
“Power” button located in the upper right corner of the Acrobat HD
Ultra Remote –this will put the Portable Monitor into ‘Standby Mode’.
The battery will drain over time if you leave the Portable Monitor in
‘Standby Mode’. We recommend shutting off the Portable Monitor if
you are not using it for an extended period of time to conserve battery
life.
Charging Condition Icon
When the Portable Monitor is connected to wall power and turned on with a
video signal present - The ‘Charging Condition Icon’ appears in the lower
right corner of the LCD. If the ‘charging condition icon’ is GREEN then the
battery is fully charged. If the ‘charging condition icon’ is YELLOW then the
battery is being charged.
Charger condition Icon:
Yellow: Unit is charging
Green: Unit is fully charged
This is active only when AC adapter is plugged in
and a video signal is present

Adjusting the Viewing Angle
The Acrobat HD Ultra Camera rotates 340 degrees, providing
unsurpassed flexibility for the visually impaired. Do NOT force the
camera beyond its 340-degree angular range as this may damage
the unit.
The Acrobat HD Ultra may be used to see objects in the distance,
viewing oneself and reading or writing. To change the viewing mode,
simply turn the position of the Camera by rotating it on the arm.
Distance Viewing Mode
The camera can rotate forward to capture people, objects and
scenery. “Distance Viewing” is displayed in the upper-left corner of
the screen when changing to this viewing angle. Be sure to open the
Reading Lens for Distance Viewing (See Figure 1).
This Distance mode enables up to 25X magnification for objects 3
feet away. In this mode, although the camera can view objects at an
infinite distance, the recommended distance from camera to the
distant object is within 3-30 feet to achieve maximum magnification
benefit (See Figure 2).

corner of the screen.
When using the Acrobat HD Ultra Long Arm, it is best to close the
Zoom Lens when objects are placed 12” – 19” away from the
Camera for optimal viewing clarity.
When using the Acrobat HD Ultra Short Arm, it is best to close the
Zoom Lens when objects are placed 4” – 11.75” away from the
