I. General information
Important notes on the operation of the reading system mezzo 2K!
Please read them carefully prior to the operation of the reading system!
Notes on the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
This reading system is suited for use in all set-ups including the domicile that are
connected directly to a public power supply for buildings with residential purposes.
This reading system is designed for the use in the indicated electromagnetic envi-
ronment. The user should ensure the use in the indicated environment.
This reading system operates on HF-Energy exclusively for its own function.
Therefore the emitted interference of high frequency disturbances is very low and
the interference with other appliances operated close-by is improbable. When oper-
ating the reading system simultaneously with other systems, however, the possibility
of disturbances of the system or other systems should not be neglected.
For this reason it should be ensured that the system is not placed directly beside
or on top of another system. If the set-up of this system in the proximity of medical,
measuring devices cannot be avoided, the operator of these devices has to be
informed that it is necessary to observe the performance of the system to control
the conventional use of the system in the chosen set-up.
Electronic devices are sensitive towards electric discharge and towards high
frequency electromagnetic fields.
Attention:
In order to avoid high frequency disturbances the operator should respect a mini-
mum distance of one meter to portable and mobile HF-telecommunication devices.
Please also see chapter: Safety advice.
Storage of the user manual
The user manual is an essential part of your reading system. Please keep the booklet
in a safe place for future reference.
Product description
mezzo 2K is a compact desktop video magnifier system, which magnifies text and
pictures. It may be used permanently for private and professional appliance. The text
or pictures are being captured by the integrated camera and then displayed on the
monitor.
●mezzo 2K convinces through razor-sharp picture quality in high resolution and
through its user friendliness.
●The 2K camera magnifies text and pictures in the best picture quality, a minimum
of picture noise and a high reduction of reflections when reading glossy papers or
looking at glossy surfaces.
●The high resolution LED flat srceen is available in different monitor sizes. They
are mostly infinitely variable and can be adjusted ergonomically, thanks to their
spring compensation.
●Due to its compact design and folding mechanism, mezzo 2K can be easily
installed and transported.

7
●mezzo 2K can be used in both battery and mains operation.
●In combination with one of the optionally available XY-tables the user may
increase the comfort of the use.
Medical device
This reading system is classified as a medical device, class I according to (EU)
2017/745, Annexe VIII, standard 13. For the distribution to countries outside
the EU the respective country-specific guidelines have to be regarded.
Purpose
This opto-electronic reading system is a medical device to assist with the reading
and magnifying of printed text and pictures. Visually impaired people can compen-
sate for their loss of visual acuity by using this device.
Evolution and lifetime of products
The Medical Device Directive regulates by law that manufacturers of medical
devices shall determine a period of safety operation of a product. We fulfill hereby
legal requirements and determine - for formal reasons - a period of three years
after date of first purchase.
Note:
The mentioned life span does not reflect the complete life span of the mezzo 2K.
It is rather an indication on when the product might be obsolete and substitution
might be recommended due to new product developments.
Safety advice

into an electrical circuit that is also being used for any life sustaining or support
systems.
The device may not be used in the patients environment.
This device should not be operated in explosion-endangered environments. This
opto-electronic device should only be installed in conjunction with modern electrical
circuitry.
Combination with other medical products
Warning: This reading system must not be located directly besides, next or on top
of another medical life sustaining device. If the device is used near another electri-
cal device, monitor the other device to ensure that it is working properly. In case of
doubt please contact Reinecker Vision GmbH or any licensed distribution partner.
Precautions by alteration of the performance of the system
Stop using the reading device if technical features or performances should change.
Switch the device OFF and disconnect the power supply from the mains wall socket.
Refer directly to your authorized dealer or to Reinecker Vision GmbH Service Center.
Do not use the system again in this condition.

Alignment of the XY-table mezzo 2K
If your mezzo 2K is optionally equipped with an XY-table (ZBXTFIX0 or ZBXTFIXM)
with friction brakes, the friction can be continuously adjusted with the lever located in
front of the table by pushing the lever slowly from the left to the right.
By pushing the lever from the very left side (no friction at all) to the center, you will
fix the y-axis. By pushing the lever to the very right side, you will also fix the x-axis
(lock).

Controls at the rear of the camera
Autofocus ON/OFF
By using the autofocus key, autofocus can be turned ON or OFF. The status of the
autofocus function is displayed for approximately 4 seconds at the bottom of the
screen. When the autofocus is switched ON, the camera will automatically adjust the
focus setting.
Mirror image
The picture display on the monitor can be changed to operate as if you were looking
at a mirror. This is useful if you want to perform a personal task such as shaving or
applying make up. To enter into mirror mode, press and hold down the zoom + and
zoom – keys, until the display briefly indicates „mirror ON“. Then, flip the camera up
as if you were using the distance mode. Rotate the camera as far as you can back
towards you. It cannot rotate back the full circle, so you will have to re-position the
base of the unit to get the camera pointing towards the user. For best operation, turn
the Autofocus OFF while in mirror mode.
Zoom + / -
The magnification can be increased or decreased by using the keys +/-.
Overview mode
If you are working with a higher magnification and you do not know which area of
the reading material or which part of the room you want to locate, this function will
give you an overview of the magnified area.
To activate the overview mode and temporarily zoom out for scanning (either in rea-
ding or distance mode), hold down the AF key until „overview mode“ is displayed at
the bottom left of the screen and the camera zooms out.
The cross-hair in the middle of the picture serves as a locator for the material you
want to magnify. Center the cross hair on the desired viewing object and then
release the AF key. The camera will then automatically zoom back in and return to
your original magnification setting.
