Operation
Charging the internal battery:
You must completely charge the internal batteries before you can use
the visolux DIGITAL HD for the first time independently of the mains
power supply!
To charge, insert the charging cable plug into the connection for the
mains adapter (e) on the visolux DIGITAL HD. Then connect the mains
adapter with the adapter appropriate for the operating location and plug
the mains adapter into a power outlet. Charging takes about 3 hours.
The charging indicator LED (w) will light up red during the charging
process. When the charging process is complete it will light up green.
Disconnect the mains adapter from the power socket and the visolux
DIGITAL HD once charging is completed.
You can use the visolux DIGITAL HD during the charging process. Using
the reader while charging will, however, prolong the charging time.
Switching on/off
Press and hold the On/Off button (h) for one second to switch the vi-
solux DIGITAL HD on. The camera image will appear in live image mode
on the display (g). 3 icons appear on the upper edge of the screen for
approx. 2 seconds to indicate the battery charge level, the current zoom
factor and the display brightness: The battery symbols have the following
meanings:
Battery fully charged 75% charge 50 % charge
