3. Getting Started
3.1 Connecting the Magnification Feature Pack to the Optelec ClearReader
+
Connect the Magnification Feature Pack to the ClearReader
+
and optionally, a monitor. Locate
the VGA connector at the bottom rear side of the ClearReader
+
. If the VGA connector is not

Use a Philips screwdriver to remove the screw which closes the cover. This screw is located in
the middle of the bottom side of the ClearReader
+
. Connect the monitor to the ClearReader
+
by
using a VGA cable. Adjacent to the VGA connector there are two USB ports. Connect the USB
cable of the ClearReader
+
Magnification Feature Pack to one of the two USB ports on the rear
side or to the USB port on the right side of the unit.
When the Magnification Feature Pack is connected to the ClearReader
+
, switch-on and take a
snapshot of a document as described in the ClearReader
+
user manual.

+

side of the ClearReader
+
. The start-up process will take
approximately 40 seconds. You will hear a series of beeps to
indicate that the ClearReader
+
is starting up followed by the
start-up sound. Now the Power indicator on the top side of the
unit beneath the volume dial is lit up and the ClearReader
+
is
ready to use.
