Instructions on Use
Step One - Remove unit from box and set the unit atop a sturdy
surface upright with handle on top and the three control knobs
facing the user. We suggest you take a moment to gently feel the
entire unit from top handle to the rear of the unit and canvas your
hands over the sides, the bottom, and the canopy that houses the
three tactile controls.
Step Two - Connect the power adapter to a standard household
110V outlet, then plug the opposite end into the inlet located in the
rear of the unit.
Step Three - Locate the power switch on the back of the machine.
Press the switch to turn on the machine, the audible sound
signifies power has successfully been turned on. There will be a
series of tictocs for about 10 seconds which is then followed up by
an audio announcement "Patriot at your service". At this moment
it is ready to operate!

Step Four - Place your document onto the base, aligning the
document with the edges of the base. Remove your hands out of
the way so there is a clear unobstructed view of the document.
Please Note: Direction of document is irrelevant as the unit can
read in a full 360 degree pattern, sideways, upside down and vice
versa. The document does need to be face up.
Step Five - The unit will begin reading aloud automatically.

Step Six - The controls are as follows:
Left knob - allows you to take a picture of your document to read aloud by
pressing the knob in. This is especially useful when reading a book by
allowing you to simply turn the page and then push this knob in to have the
next page read out loud. Turning this left knob will change the reading speed.
Turning counterclockwise will decrease the reading speed and turning
clockwise will increase the reading speed.
Center knob - Press in the middle knob to pause or resume reading. You can
turn the same middle knob in the clockwise direction to advance forward
reading and turn the knob in the counter clockwise direction to rewind.
Right knob - Press in the right knob to hear the spelling of the current word
that it is reading out loud. Turn the right knob to increase or decrease the
volume.
Note: When changing speed, volume, or when rewinding or fast forwarding,
the Patriot will be paused afterwards. You will need to push in the middle
knob to resume reading.
Pressing in the two left knobs at the same time will change the voice of the
spoken content. There are two english voices and two spanish voices. The two
english voices will only read english print and the two spanish voices will
only read spanish print. The Patriot does not translate or read handwriting.
Pressing in the two right knobs at the same time will change the Patriot to
document mode or table mode. The document mode is the preset default
mode. It would be the proper setting to use to read down one column of text
and then go to the next, such as how to properly read a newspaper. Table
mode is better for reading financial statements. For example,
you would hear"ATM deposit", and then hear the dollar amount. Instead of
hearing all of the places of transaction occurrences and then hearing all of the
dollar amounts, which is how the default document mode would read, and not
always ideal.
