1. Introduction
Congratulations with the purchase of your Looky HD! In this manual you will find a detailed
description of all the functions of the Looky HD. Read this manual carefully before you start
using the Looky HD. If you still have any questions after reading this manual, please contact your
supplier.
2. General description Looky HD
3. Intended use
This device is solely used for displaying enlarged representations of text, photographic material
and objects. When the Looky HD is used for any purpose other than the intended use, the CE
regulation will not apply.
Caution: do not, under any circumstances, perform maintenance or repairs on the device;
always ask a manufacturer approved technician to do this. Warranty will be voided if the
Looky HD is attempted to be repaired by anyone other than a technician approved by the
manufacturer.

4. Safety and Maintenance
Before use, be sure to comply to with the following safety and maintenance instructions:
Protect the device and its batteries from moisture, rain, sand or extreme temperatures
like radiators or direct sunlight.
Do not use cleaning products that contain alcohol, methylated spirits, ammonia or
abrasives. These can damage the device or its touch screen.
Only use accessories that the manufacturer supplies you with, or approves of.
Never throw batteries into a fire. Batteries and chargers that are defect are considered
chemical waste. They therefore need to be disposed of at a refuse/recycling centre of
your choice.
Note that the use of a screen protector might influence the functioning of the touch
screen.
5. Installing the Looky HD
Connect the battery handle of the Looky HD by sliding it onto the connector until you hear it
clicking into place. This battery handle also functions as the Looky HD’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 Looky HD.
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 Looky HD.
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 HD from its carrying
case when charging. Don’t place it in direct sunlight or near a radiator whilst charging.
When the battery is empty, the Looky HD will switch itself off. You will hear a high pitched tone
that fades away.
7. Battery handle maintenance

Remove the battery handle from the Looky HD 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 HD 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 as a magnifier. The closer you get to the
object, the bigger the magnification will be. You can also hold the Looky HD up to see distant
objects as the Looky HD can focus from 5cm to infinity.
It is also possible to use the Looky HD with the handle folded in. You can easily set the device
on the table and it will automatically stand at an angle. The magnification will then be about
8x. This is easier when you want some stability during the reading of texts.
9. Switching the Looky HD on or off
To switch the Looky HD on, press the ON/OFF button once. You will hear a scaled sound
increasing in pitch.
To switch the Looky HD off, press the ON/OFF button for 3 seconds. You will hear a scaled sound
decreasing in pitch.
When you have the Looky HD switched on, and it doesn’t detect any movement on the screen, it
will switch itself off after 3 minutes. A two-pitched signal will be heard.
10. Focusing the Looky HD
The Looky HD uses a push-to-focus method to focus the image on the screen. Simply touch the
screen on the section where you want the Looky HD to focus; the camera will focus on that area.
11. Far View function

The camera of the Looky HD can focus on objects from 5 cm. distance to infinity. Just hold the
device up to view the object. Remember to touch the screen in order to focus the camera on
the object you are viewing.

By touching the centre of the screen for 3 seconds you can switch off the LED at the back of the
LookyHD. You will hear a beeping sound indicating that the LED is switched off.

sound will be heard.

the button again to revert to the regular viewing mode.

All functions of the Looky HD can still be used while the image is frozen.
16. Magnetic lines
On the bottom side of the handle, there is a magnetic area that can be used with the magnetic
sheet.
Slide the sheet underneath the text you want to read. Now place the Looky HD on the text and

along the lines; making it easier to keep the Looky HD straight while reading.
