PageFlip Lite User Guide 1. WELCOME
1 WELCOME
Congratulations on your purchase of the PageFlip Lite automatic
page turner! This product was designed to meet the needs of peo-
ple with disabilities, musicians, and avid readers who struggle with
the challenge and inconvenience of page turning. PageFlip Lite
features a patent pending solution to automate the process of turn-
ing pages. By simply tapping a switch, pages can now be flipped
in either the forward or reverse directions for uninterrupted hands-
free reading.
PageFlip Lite is compact, portable, reliable, and easy to use.
It features 100% reliability in turning one page at a time. Just pull
any book off the shelf, mount it on the PageFlip Lite book clamp,
and slide ten sheets through mechanical arms to begin hands-free
reading. Be prepared to enjoy the benefits of the PageFlip Lite
automatic page turner!
We include a wireless pedal to trigger a page-turn cycle in the
forward or reverse directions. An auxiliary outlet is available for
use with an external switch via a 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo plug. The
unit works with a wide range of switches, including sip-and-puff
and Jelly Bean switches (neither is included). PageFlip Lite can be
placed directly on a desk, table, bed, piano, music stand, kitchen
counter, or exercise equipment for convenient hands-free reading.

PageFlip Lite User Guide 2. FEATURES
2 FEATURES
•Ease of Use
Simply attach a bound book to the PageFlip Lite book clamp,
snap the book clamp to the PageFlip Lite casing, turn the
power on, and begin reading. Just press either end of the
wireless pedal to turn a page forwards or backwards.
•Convenience
Set up 10 sheets of a book in under one minute for unin-
terrupted hands-free reading of 20 pages (2 pages / sheet).
There is no need to stop playing your musical instrument or
to wait for a care-giver to turn the next page.
•Reliability
Turns one page at a time with 100% accuracy. Manual setup
of 10 sheets eliminates risk of turning multiple pages at once.
•Robust Operation
The PageFlip Lite book clamp firmly attaches to the opened
book to restrain pages from inadvertently turning back. This
is particularly useful for new books with stiff spines that refuse
to stay open freely. Combines the virtues of a secure book
holder with the advanced features of an automatic page turner.
•Wireless Remote Control
The wireless foot pedal is used to turn the pages in either
direction. Tap one end of the pedal to turn pages forward;
tap the other end to turn pages backwards. The range of
the pedal is 50 feet, allowing a second person to operate the
device remotely.

PageFlip Lite User Guide 2. FEATURES
•Advanced Wireless Feature
An advanced frequency pairing feature allows as many as
32 users to wirelessly trigger their own PageFlip Lite units in
the same room without interference.
•Collapsible Support Stand
A collapsible support stand allows the page turner to sit on a
table while supporting a large book at various tilt angles. The
support stand is not necessary for use on a music stand or
keyboard instrument where a book rest is already available.
•Compatibility
PageFlip Lite is compatible with a wide array of external
switches that can trigger the page turner. Commonly used
sip-and-puff and pushbutton switches may be plugged into
the auxiliary switch outlet via a 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo plug.
•Versatility
The PageFlip Lite book clamp permits the page turner to
handle a wide variety of book sizes and page counts.
•Auto Power Off Function
PageFlip Lite automatically turns itself off 30 minutes after
the last operation is performed or if an error occurs.
•Silent Operation
PageFlip Cicada uses anti-skid rubber pads to prevent it
from sliding or making noise upon contact. Pages are turned
silently for use in performances and recordings.
•Portability
The unit is small, light, battery-operated, and easy to carry.

Bean pushbuttons, or any auxiliary switch that can be plugged into

Flip does not supply plug adapters or auxiliary switches. Consult
assistive technology vendors for more information about switches.

PageFlip Lite User Guide 4.6 Setting Up the Book Clamp
4.6 Setting Up the Book Clamp
PageFlip Lite is designed to operate with books having a wide
range of sizes and thicknesses. This is made possible with the
use of our specially-designed clamp that can mount a book to the
unit while firmly restraining pages from inadvertently turning.
The clamp consists of a back support and two spring-loaded
arms, as shown in Fig. 7(a). Each arm has a tip that includes a
page restraint to block loose pages from turning freely. Each tip
also includes a peg that slides into a rear slot on the PageFlip Lite
to secure the book clamp into place. Before setting up the book
clamp, it must first be detached from PageFlip Lite by pulling it out
of the two rear slots.
A book is attached to PageFlip Lite by securing the book clamp
to the bottom edge of an open book. This is done by pulling the
page restraints away from the supporting plate (Fig. 7(b)). An open
book is slid into the space between the flexed arms and the sup-
porting plate. Release the arms, allowing the compressive force
of the springs to secure the book between the page restraints and
the supporting plate (Fig. 7(c)).
Pick up the clamped book and slide the clamp pegs into the
rear slots on PageFlip Lite, as shown in the bottom row of Fig. 7.

PageFlip Lite User Guide 4.7 Setting Up the Support Stand
4.7 Setting Up the Support Stand
Select a workspace that can securely hold the page turner:
1. a table or desk
2. the ledge of a music stand
3. the book rest of a keyboard instrument
4.7.1 Table or Desk
If the workspace is a table or desk, you will need to use the support
stand to prop up the PageFlip Lite and the attached book. Unfold
the collapsible support stand (Fig. 8) and rest the PageFlip Lite in
the bottom groove (Fig. 9). We recommend raising the horizontal
crossbar, as shown in Fig. 8(c), to alter the tilt angle of the book
for maximal stability and comfort.
