2. Safety information
MagniLink ZIP DUO is only intended for use as a reading aid in school,
home or office environments.
Before connecting, check the system, the power supply and the mains
cord to make sure nothing is damaged. The enclosed power supply is
only intended for use with the MagniLink ZIP DUO. Never operate the
MagniLink ZIP DUO if the unit has been exposed to water, rain or other
liquids. Damaged mains cord or plugs may result in a shock or a fire
hazard.
Do not allow anything to rest or roll over the mains cord. The power
supply emits heat and must therefore not be covered.
If cleaning is required, unplug the MagniLink ZIP DUO, use a slightly
damp (not wet) cloth. Only use water or some detergent specially made
for cleaning monitors and computers. Do not use aerosol cleaners
directly on the MagniLink ZIP DUO since it may overspray and cause an
electrical shock.
When operating the reading table, do not place hands under or behind
the reading table. It could get one’s finger caught between the reading
table and the stand or the slides. The MagniLink ZIP DUO has to be
placed at least 10 cm from the edge of the table.
Warning! MagniLink ZIP DUO has a low total weight, which means that it
is important to place the system correctly so it always remains stable,
especially if the reading table is in its most extended position. An
overload in this position may cause the system to turn over which could
lead to personal injuries.
If the MagniLink ZIP DUO is to be transported, do not lift the unit by the
screen or the reading table, as they are movable parts. When folding or
unfolding the product make sure that both push-pull buttons at the joint
are in their inner position. Be careful not to squeeze your fingers when
folding the product.

instruc-tions, do not attempt any further adjustments. Unplug the set and
call your dealer or service technician. Only use replacement parts
specified by LVI.
If you are unsure, contact your dealer or service technician.
Warning! Plastic bags in the packing material can be
dangerous. To avoid danger or suffocation keep bags away
from babies and children.
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the equipment to rain or
moisture.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover. No user
serviceable parts inside. Refer service to qualified service personal.

5. Installation
Place the unit on a table. The MagniLink ZIP DUO has to be placed at
least 10 cm from the edge of the table. Notice that the system’s reading
table can be moved up to 30 cm in three directions. MagniLink ZIP DUO
has a low total weight, which means that it is important to place the
system correctly so it always remains stable, especially if the reading
table is in its most extended position. An overload in this position may
cause the system to turn over.
Grab the screen under the front
panel (A) and lift it so you can
feel the weight of the screen in
your hand (the screen should
not move).
Pull out the pull-push button (B)
in the back of the unit and start
lifting the screen, approximately
5 cm.
Let go of the pull-push button
and continue lifting the screen
(C) until it flicks on both sides.
The pull-push button should be
in its inner position.
If necessarry, jiggle the screen
up and down (D) until it comes
to the right position. The arms
are now in their upfolded
position. A

The camera is placed at the
back of the screen. Lift the
camera (G) so you can feel its
weight in your hand (the
camera should not move).
Pull out the pull-push button
(H) on the side of the unit,
which is placed just slightly
behind the screen. Fold the
camera up, approximately 5

Attach the distance camera on the upper
aluminium profiles of the screen by using the
two silver knobs (I). Tighten the knobs.
Connect the cord for the distance camera to
the upper socket on the left backside of the
unit (J).
Connect the footswitch to the lower socket
on the right backside of the unit (K) and
place the footswitch on the floor.
Connect the power supply to the connector
at the back of the screen (L). Press the cable
into the slit at the bottom of the arm (M). To
keep the cable from pulling out when the
screen is tilted, give it some length so it can
stretch out sufficiently.
The power supply emits heat and must
therefore not be covered.
The unit is now ready to be used. The screen
can be tilted 5 degrees forward and 10
degrees backwards, counting from a vertical
position. Take both sides of the screen and
tilt it forward/backward to obtain the
desired position.

preferred height. To raise it, use both hands and press it upwards using
the screen support as a counterstay, or fold the unit and press the
bottom of the screen.
NB! To fold and transport the unit, place the screen in the highest
position.
5.2 Work place
A comfortable work place around your MagniLink is important.
It could be useful to keep the following in mind:
•The chair should have a back rest.
•The seat of the chair should be of a height which does not make
your legs become numb.
•Let your feet rest on the floor.
•The reading table should be at a height that allows your forearm to
rest horizontally on the table.
•Shield off daylight. Lights from ceiling lamps, table lamps and
windows can be reflected on the monitor.

7. Trouble shooting
If nothing happens when turning the system on, check that all
connections are correct according to the section “Installation”.
If the led to the left of the main switch is solid red, something is wrong
with the equipment and it can not be used. Press once on the main
switch and MagniLink ZIP DUO will make three attempts to restart. If the
light still indicates a solid red, turn off the equipment and contact an
authorised service technician. If the light is flashing red, it means wrong

Make sure to use the power supply that belongs to MagniLink ZIP DUO.
If the problem remains, pull out the net cable and contact an authorised
service technician. Never disassemble any covers to try to repair the
system yourself.
