4 Maintenance
Only use accessories for the Looky+ that are approved of by the producer.
4.1 Battery maintenance
Remove the batteries from the Looky+ if you do not intend to use the device
for an extended period of time. This will improve the longevity of the batteries.
Batteries are sensitive to over-charging. It is recommended to only charge the
batteries when they are completely drained.
Chargeable NiMh batteries have an auto discharge that strongly depends on
the temperature of the environment (e.g. never leave your batteries in a car
that is parked in direct sunlight).
New NiMh batteries must be charged several times before reaching their
nominal capacity.
Charge NiMh batteries at least once every 6 months.
The average lifespan of a rechargeable battery is usually 300 charging cycles,
but this depends on the use. Total capacity will slowly decrease after multiple
charging cycles.
Charge the batteries in a well ventilated environment.

5 Installation –batteries
1. Remove the lid from the battery compartment by pressing down on the arrow
and moving the lid in the direction of the arrow.
2. Place the first battery at the back of the battery compartment.
3. Now place the second battery.
Note: charge the batteries before using your Looky+! See the
charging instructions on page 12.
6 Handle
The handle of the Looky+ is closed on delivery. You can use the Looky+ with the
closed handle by placing it directly on the text. When you extend the handle you
can use the Looky+ like a magnifier. You now have the possibility to view objects or
read texts.
It is also possible to use the Looky+ as an aid during writing. To do so you will need
to extend the handle fully. When you now press the handle flat to the surface of
the table, the screen will rise to an angle. The space underneath the Looky+ that is
created in this way can be used to aid you during writing.
7 Controls
7.1 Switching the Looky+ on and off
To switch the Looky+ on, keep button 1 pressed for 1 second. You will hear a
low pitched tone followed by a high pitched tone. The screen is now active.
To switch the Looky+ off, keep button 1 pressed until you hear a high pitched
tone followed by a low pitched tone. The screen of the Looky+ will darken and
the device will switch off.

7.2 Digital zoom
Press the yellow button (button 2) to digitally enlarge the image on the
screen.
By pressing the yellow button (button 2) you can switch between the 4 zoom
presets.
By pressing the yellow button (button 2) after having selected the highest
magnification, you will return to the lowest magnification.
7.3 Selecting reading modes

By pressing the blue button (button 3) you will cycle through the following
reading modes: Full Colour mode with LED lighting –White/Black - Black/White
–Yellow/Blue –Yellow/Black.

Note: when the image is frozen, the LED lighting will be switched
off in order to preserve energy.
7.5 Advanced settings
The Looky+ has 2 hidden buttons with which the advanced settings of the device
can be operated. These buttons, named X and Z, are located in the battery
compartment (the batteries must be removed from the Looky+ to access the X and
Z buttons). Ensure that the adaptor is connected to the Looky+ and that the Looky+
is switched on to make use of the advanced settings.
7.5.1 Advanced settings –X button
With the X button you can turn the sound notifications of the Looky+ on or off.
When pressing the X button, you will hear a sound that decreases in pitch –the
sound notifications of the Looky+ are now switched off. To switch the sound
notifications back on, press the X button again –you will hear a sound that
increases in pitch.
Note: when the sound notifications have been switched off, the
Looky+ will still give off an alarm sound when it detects a battery
problem during the charging process. This sound is the only sound
the Looky+ will produce when the sound notifications have been
switched off.

7.5.2 Advanced settings –Z button
With the Z button you can adjust the brightness of the screen. By pressing the Z
button you will lower the screen brightness by 20% - by doing so you will hear a
sound that decreases in pitch. The lowest screen brightness is 20%, when you press
the Z button once more the screen brightness will go back to 100% - when doing so
you will hear a sound that increases in pitch. The Looky+ has 5 possible screen
brightness settings: 100% - 80% - 60% - 40% - 20%.
8 Internal memory of the Looky+
The Looky+ stores the following settings in its memory when switched off and on:
The reading mode that was used last (with exception of the full colour mode
without lighting –instead of this mode, the Looky+ will start up in the reading
mode that was used last before selecting the full colour mode without lighting).
Whether the sound notifications are switched ON or OFF.
The selected brightness of the screen.

4 Wartungsvorschriften
Verwenden Sie nur vom Hersteller geliefertes oder genehmigtes Zubehör.
4.1 Wartung der Batterien
Nehmen Sie die Batterien aus dem Looky+, wenn Sie es längere Zeit nicht
verwenden. Damit verlängern Sie die Lebensdauer der Batterien.
Batterien sind empfindlich in Bezug auf Überladen. Die Batterien sollten
vorzugsweise erst aufgeladen werden, wenn sie ganz leer sind.
Aufladbare NiMh-Batterien unterliegen einer Selbstentladung, die stark von
der Umgebungstemperatur abhängig ist.
Neue NiMh-Batterien müssen mehrere Male aufgeladen werden, bevor sie ihre
Nennkapazität erreichen.
Laden Sie NiMh-Batterien mindestens 1x pro Halbjahr auf.
Die durchschnittliche Lebensdauer liegt ungefähr bei 300 Ladezyklen, sie ist
jedoch vom Gebrauch abhängig. Die Gesamtkapazität nimmt nach mehreren
Ladezyklen langsam ab.
Laden Sie Batterien in einer gut gelüfteten Umgebung auf.
