About Visio 500 6
2 About Visio 500
Visio 500 is the new professional, full HD video magnifier for visually
impaired users. Thanks to the new design with motorized moving
camera, the computer keyboard can be placed directly in front of the
reading table.
The highly adjustable display allows for relaxed and fatigue-free reading
in virtually any setting. A PC can be connected directly to the Visio 500,
and used in conjunction with the variable split screen function.
Visio 500 displays magnified text and images in your choice of full color,
black on white, or white on black and a variety of false colours.
Autofocus is provided as well as optional fix focus for hand writing and
filling in forms. Thanks to its image optimizer feature Visio 500 will
always provide an optimum image quality, ensuring that text is always
crisp and clear.
The 30x optical zoom camera can be pivoted in four positions. So
besides viewing down on a sheet of paper, you may also use the mirror
position of the camera. The 22” display screen can be easily adjusted to
the height, angle and viewing distance you prefer.
Visio 500 will, in most cases, take documents of poor quality (e.g. faint
print, crumpled or dirty paper, or the display of a mobile device etc.) and
magnify them in high contrast. However, despite all of our technical
efforts, there will be some documents that cannot be displayed properly.
In these rare instances, you can improve readability by switching off the
lights or using the full color setting.

First Steps 8
4 First Steps
In this chapter we will explain how to set up Visio 500 and make it
usable. Normally the device will be set up by our employees.
Additionally we will explain how to transport Visio 500. There is a special
position in which the device is folded to minimum size to make transport
easier.
Advice:
Please do not transport Visio 500 while holding at the reading table.
The device could be damaged. Always use the locked display arms to
lift Visio 500.
Unboxing Visio 500
Put the Visio 500 box on the floor in front of you. The larger surface must
be on the top and the printing on the box must be readable.
Open the box and lift Visio 500 out of the box by holding it at arms, near
the round covers of rear hinges.

First Steps 9
Put Visio 500 on the table and turn it until the screen is facing
towards you. The space between the front edge of the reading
table and the edge of the table should be about 30 cm / 11 inches.
Now open the transport lock. The transport
lock is blocking the display arms, so the
device can be pulled on it. To open it, the
display should be slightly pushed down
below the horizontal position. You can
slightly push on the display frame to lower it.
After that the slider of the transportlock can
be opend. If viewed from rear, it is located to
the right back of the Visio 500. It is important
to move the slider towards the middle of the
housing (left position when viewed from rear)
to unlock.

First Steps 10
The monitor of Visio 500 still lies flat on the monitor arms. Now power on
Visio 500. To do so, press the power button for a few seconds, which is
the leftmost button on the control panel.
Now straighten up the screen. Tilting the screen is a little tight on
purpose, it should not be tilted by accident. Now the screen should face
towards you, like a screen is normally used.
Press the large lower button to either
left or right back of display to release
the brakes and adjust the monitor.
Now pull the screen towards you.
This is necessary for the camera arm
to have enough space to be lifted
without touching the display.
Connect the round plug of the low
voltage cable of the power supply to
the power socket at the right of your
Visio 500, and then plug the power
supply cable into a wall outlet. The
universal power supply can operate at
voltages from 100- 250 VAC / 50-60Hz.
