Evolve MAX).
3. Power brick and power cable.

Unpacking
Lift out the cardboard tray containing the power brick (in its own box),
power cable, headphones and documentation.
Then lift the ReadEasy Evolve MAX out of the box and carefully
remove its side packaging.
Place the ReadEasy Evolve MAX onto a stable flat surface where it is
going to be used.
If you have purchased the optional Feature Pack, the Wireless Control
Pad will also be included. Remove this if present and required.

Carry Handle
The ReadEasy Evolve MAX features an integrated grey carry handle
making it safe and easy to move from room-to-room.
The carry handle is built into the top of the unit. It sits flush when not
in use. By lifting the handle into its raised position, it is easy to grasp
and move the unit.
You can lower the handle back down by gently pushing it down until it
sits flush with the unit.
Positioning for use
When placing the ReadEasy Evolve MAX onto a surface for use, ensure
it is clean, flat and large enough to position the items you wish to
read.
Ensure that the unit is not directly underneath any bright lighting, as
this could affect its accuracy when reading glossy documents.

Camera
The ReadEasy Evolve MAX features a unique, magnetised, easy
release camera system. The camera needs to be placed into the
camera slot before capturing your reading material.
Removing the camera from its stored position
The camera is stored within the ReadEasy Evolve MAX, at the back of
the unit, along the bottom. With the ReadEasy Evolve MAX facing
towards you, run your fingers 1 inch (2.5cm) up the back of the left
edge. You will feel a half circle shaped cut-out. Push the camera head
backwards using this recess and fully remove it.
Unfolding the camera
With the camera removed from the unit, it then needs to be unfolded.
When the camera is folded, the part of the camera that will insert into
the unit is slightly shorter. It
also has a rectangular USB port
which sits flush with the bottom
of the shorter section.
Unfold the camera (90 degrees)
so it is ready to be inserted into
the camera position.
10
Plugging in the camera
The slot for the camera (coloured silver) is located on the top of the
ReadEasy Evolve MAX unit, at the front, 1.4 inches (3.5cm) from the
left-hand side. The slot has a spring-loaded dust cover.
With the shorter arm (containing the USB port) facing downwards and
the other part of the arm facing towards you, angle the camera head
a few degrees forwards and slowly insert the camera into the camera
slot.
The camera will slide down approximately 1.5 inches (4 cm).
Once in position, you may need to apply a small amount of
downwards force to connect the camera fully. As you do you will feel
it positively locate into position.
The camera will only go into its
slot one way round and it does
not require much force so please
insert it carefully.
