Menu, described in Section 6 below. 4. Basic Functions This section will describe how to use the basic features of the Eclipse to magnify text and images. Follow the instructions in section 1 – Setting Up before you begin using the unit.
Press the power button to turn on the unit. Pressing the power button again (after the start-up screen has cleared) will turn off the unit. The Eclipse stores its settings only when it is powered off using the power button. If the power is interrupted, either by a mains failure or by unplugging the power, any changes made during the session are lost.
Upon pressing a key to exit the overview mode, the Eclipse will zoom in on the targeted point. This could be used, for instance, to locate the line on a form where you need to sign.
Colours (User Defined) Some users may benefit from setting the ink and paper to colours other than black and white. The Eclipse offers four of the most commonly used preset colour options and one user-definable option where the ink and paper colours may each be chosen from any of eight fore- and background colours.
Eclipse will automatically exit the selection mode anyway. Colour Kill (Photo mode only) When in photo mode, the colour can be removed from the picture by pressing the button. The symbol “▀▄” appears in the bottom corner to avoid confusion with the positive reading mode.
Contrast: The contrast control increases the difference between bright and dark areas, making bright areas brighter and dark areas darker. The Eclipse retains independent settings for picture and reading modes. Saturation: This controls the intensity of colour displayed in picture mode.
Focus button is pressed or when the zoom level is altered. If the height of the material under the camera is changed, it will be necessary to press the focus button again. Manual Focus: This mode is useful if you require an image that is slightly out of focus or you are looking at an awkward object that the camera will not focus on correctly.
