Caution: do not, under any circumstances, perform main-
tenance or repairs on the device; always ask a manufacturer

5. Installing the Looky 5
Connect the battery handle of the Looky 5 by sliding it onto the
connector until you hear it clicking into place. This battery handle
also functions as the Looky5’s handle.
To replace the battery handle push the 2 purple battery release
buttons on the side of the battery handle, and slide on the
replacement battery handle.
Charge the battery handle completely before using the Looky5.
Please read the charging instructions carefully.
6. Instructions for charging
Put the adaptor in the wall socket and connect its plug to the
charging adaptor port of the Looky5.
LED burning constantly batteries are being charged
LED off batteries are fully charged
LED blinking error / batteries are defect
Charge the batteries in a well ventilated environment. Remove
the Looky 5 from its carrying case when charging. Don’t place it
in direct sunlight or near a radiator whilst charging.

7. Battery handle maintenance
• Remove the battery handle from the Looky 5 if you do not intend
to use it for an extended period of time. This will
improve the longevity of the battery handle.
• Batteries are sensitive to overcharging. It is
recommended to only charge the battery handle when it is
completely drained.
• Chargeable Lithium-Ion batteries have an auto discharge that
strongly depends on the temperature of the
environment (e.g. never leave the battery handle in a car that
is parked in direct sunlight).
• New Lithium-Ion batteries must be charged several times
before reaching their nominal capacity.
• Charge Lithium-Ion batteries at least once every 6 months.
• The average lifespan of the battery handle is usually 300
charging cycles, but this depends on the use. Total capacity will
slowly decrease after multiple charging cycles.
8. Folding handle
The Looky 5 comes with a replaceable foldable handle with a
built-in battery. This handle can be used in several positions.
When the handle is extended, you can use the Looky
5 as a magnier. The closer you get to the object, the
bigger the magnication will be. You can also hold the Looky 5
up to see distant objects as the Looky 5 can focus from 5cm to
innity.
It is also possible to use the Looky 5 with the handle folded in. You
can easily set the device on the table and it will automatically
stand at an angle. The magnication will then be about 8x. This is
easier when you want some stability during the reading of texts.

it with the rounded side to the
