Congratulations on your purchase of the USB
Bridge from Enhanced Vision. The USB Bridge is
a very useful accessory to be used in conjunction
with your Enhanced Vision product(s). When used
along with the Acrobat™, Flipper™ or Max™, the
USB Bridge provides an all-in-one solution, bringing
both computer connectivity and portability for these
devices.
The USB Bridge serves as a central hub for
connecting your Enhanced Vision product to your
laptop or desktop PC using a standard, USB cable.
Featuring a built-in computer interface and included
software, the USB Bridge allows you to use your
PC while simultaneously viewing magnied, camera
based images on a single display. Built-in software
controls allow you to dynamically re-size the camera’s
display window on your desktop to either full or “split-
screen” modes to best suit your particular viewing
needs. The still-image snapshot feature allows you
to capture magnied, camera-based images on your
PC for later recall, making the USB Bridge an ideal
solution for students and working professionals.
Last but not least, the USB Bridge supplies power
to your Enhanced Vision product via the included
Lithium battery, providing two or more hours of
portable use on a single charge. The built in battery
charger (and included power supply) completes the
package, offering a convenient and fully integrated
“on-the-go” solution for people with low vision.

The Viewer application allows you to capture a still
photo (or “snapshot”) of the camera image. This is
especially useful in school or work settings, where
it may be desirable to magnify and store text that is
located on an distant object (i.e. chalkboard or dry
erase board) and later recall the image (homework
assignments, etc.). Use the following procedure to
use the Image Capture feature:
1) Focus on either a near or distant object. The object
viewed on the display will be captured as shown.
2) Press the [F5] function key on your PC keyboard.
to capture the still image. An on screen message
will appear “Taking Snapshot, Please Wait”,
followed by the standard “Save As” dialog box.
3) Select the directory in which you wish to store
the le. If desired give the snapshot a descriptive
le name. If no lename is entered, the default

or re-assigned using the following procedure:
1) Using your mouse, right-click on the small “EV”
Viewer icon, located in the lower-right hand corner
of the Widows* system tray (near the clock).
2) Select “Hot Keys...” from the popup menu
3) Modify the hot key assignment for each function as
desired.
4) Click “OK” to save the settings and exit.

From factory default, the viewer application is set
to high-resolution (photo) viewing mode. This mode
gives the best resolution for focusing an a “xed”
image, such as a photo, single sheet of paper, or a
distant object. In this mode, maximum image clarity
is achieved by using a progressive, non-interlaced
method of image scanning.
When using the viewer application to view objects in
motion, such as when scanning text “line by line” or
when reading at higher magnication levels, changing
the viewing mode to standard resolution may
signicantly improve image quality. This will increase
the perceived sharpness of characters when reading
printed text, allowing the camera to focus more
quickly on each word. In this mode, maximum image
clarity is achieved by using an interlaced method of
image scanning.

• The AC adaptor included with the USB Bridge can supply
power to your compatible Enhanced Vision product. This
is the preferred method of powering the unit when using
the system near an AC (mains) wall outlet or when using
the system at home.
• Alternately, the lithium battery included with the USB
Bridge can be used to supply power to your compatible
Enhanced Vision product. This method of powering the
unit is designed for using the system away from an AC
wall outlet or when using the system in a portable setting
(school or ofce). In order to take full advantage of the
portable features of this device, it will be necessary to fully
charge the battery prior to using the system. Please follow
the procedure described on the next page.
• Once the battery has fully charged (about 2 hours), the
lithium battery can power your Enhanced Vision product
for 2 hours or more. Actual usage times may vary de-
pending on the specic type of device connected and the
total battery life remaining. See pages 22-23 for more
details.
• When using the system with AC power, it is recommend-
ed to leave the battery attached to the USB charging sta-
tion. Doing so will ensure that a continual charge is main-
tained upon the battery, allowing you to use the system in
a portable setting whenever desired. It is not possible to
overcharge the battery. It is recommended to remove the
battery from the charging station only when storing/trans-
porting the system or when not using the system for one
week or more.

1) Insert the lithium battery into
the charger base of the USB
Bridge so that it can fully
charge. Do not use extreme
force when inserting the bat-
tery, as it will only t securely
in one direction (See Figure
1).
2) Connect the tip of the
included power supply to the
“DC 12V” input port on the
rear of the USB Bridge
(See Figure 2).
3) Plug in the remaining end
of the power supply to an
available AC/mains outlet.
(See Figure 3).
4) Press the POWER button
on the front of the USB
Bridge. When the battery is
charging, the red “CHARGE”
indicator illuminate.
(See Figure 4).
5) When the “CHARGE” indicator begins to blink,
the battery has fully charged. Resume normal
USB Bridge operation as described on page 14.

• Use caution when attaching the output of your
Enhanced Vision product to the CAMERA input
of the USB Bridge. The specially designed
connector will only t in one direction. Once
attached, it should not be removed under normal
circumstances.
• Do not disconnect the USB cable from your PC or
the USB Bridge while the software application is
running. This may cause your system to become
unstable. Always exit the software application
before disconnecting the USB cable.
