Dear Customer!
Thank you for choosing a LiteScout-System in High Bright White (HBW). We are sure
that you will be very satisfied with your purchase. This product was developed to
fulfill a wide array of general pedagogical requirements as well as to specifically
encourage the stimulation and early development of partially sighted and blind
people. It is a high-quality product from Germany that combines new materials in an
innovative way.
These instructions will help you learn how to use your new LiteScout-Pro HBW and
LiteScout-Basic HBW. The models differ only in the layout of the light surface and the
outer dimensions.
Please read the safety instructions before using
your new LiteScout HBW for the first time!

2. Initial Operation of the LiteScout HBW
Open the cover on the rear of the remote control and insert two batteries (AAA) in the
orientation shown on the base of the battery compartment. Close the cover of the
remote control.
Take the cord extending from the LiteScout and plug the grey-blue connector into the
connector socket on the converter module. To lock the connector into the socket, turn
the connector clockwise, and the connector will tighten. This makes it impossible to
pull the cable out of the converter module.
Insert the power plug into the mains socket and the LiteScout lights up.

4. Safety Information and Warnings
• The converter module use high voltage!
• Only PLASTOLIGHT® is authorized to make repairs. Attempted repair by any other
party will immediately void the warranty.
• Only a qualified technician may perform repairs. The system must always be
unplugged before repair work begins.
• The LiteScout and the converter module are for indoor use only. Do not use them
outdoors!
• Keep the LiteScout and the converter module away from moisture or moistness.
• Protect the LiteScout and the converter module from extreme heat.
• Do not use pointed or sharp objects on the light surface. They may damage the light
surface and destroy the LiteScout.
• Damaging the light surface may result in personal injury.
• Always make sure that the converter module is in an easy-to-access location that
receives sufficient ventilation. This will prevent the converter module from
overheating.
• Never allow children to work with the LiteScout without adult supervision.
• The LiteScout system should not be stored at temperatures of 0°C and below (e.g.
in a vehicle). If the device has been exposed to these temperatures, it should not be
switched on immediately after a quick temperature change (e.g. to room
temperature). This is because condensate could form, which could have a negative
effect on the LiteScout. In cases such as these, we recommend that you only switch
on the LiteScout after 30 - 60 minutes to allow it to acclimatise.
5. Cleaning and Care Instructions
• Clean the frame and light surface of the LiteScout, and all other plastic parts using a
soft, lint-free cloth and the plastic cleaning fluid shipped with your system. You can
also use household glass cleaner or rubbing alcohol on particularly difficult stains.
Just spritz a small amount onto the cloth and rub the stain gently.
• Avoid any pooling of water on the LiteScout. However, a small amount of moisture
or isolated droplets that may form on the light surface while you are cleaning or
otherwise using the light surface (e.g., a bit of saliva from the children using the
unit) will not harm the unit.
• The LiteScout is a robust product that can withstand damage when used according
to purpose. However, you should avoid rough treatment of the light surface or the
use of pointed or sharp objects on this surface.
• Avoid drawing directly on the light surface (use the OHP transparency).
• Always disconnect the LiteScout from the converter module before transporting it.
• We recommend that you use the robust carrying case to transport your LiteScout.
• Charged batteries can be left in the remote control unit for long periods of time, but
discharged batteries should be removed (this prevents the possibility of battery
leakage).
• Some types of batteries (e.g. alkaline manganese) discharge at temperatures of
0°C and below. As a result, we recommend that you do not store the LiteScout at
temperatures of 0°C and below, and that you always have reserve batteries
available.

6. Malfunctions
The LiteScout is a robust device that meets the legally prescribed safety standards.
The power supply (converter module) contains a number of safety-related features,
such as protection against short circuiting, overload and overtemperature.
If the LiteScout does not power up, remove the converter module power plug from
the mains socket and check whether a cable connection between the converter
module and the light panel exists and is free of damage. In the event of obvious
damage, do not continue to use the device. Please contact us in this case. This also
applies where damage to the plastic frame, the light surface or the cable has
occurred, for example.
If there is no sign of damage, the converter module can be restarted: to do so, re-
insert the power plug into the mains socket and press the ON button on the remote
control unit.
Should this be unsuccessful, we recommend that you check the batteries in the
remote control unit and that you replace these if necessary.
If the LiteScout still does not power up, please contact us and arrange to return the
device to PLASTOLIGHT®.
