Monitor or Projector button located on the front control panel or on the remote control. Press again to alternate input.
4.2 LIGHTING
The DiggiDitto™ uses environmentally friendly LEDs for the side and base lights. These LED bulbs require much less energy than standard incandescent light bulbs.

All of which are valuable features for classroom use.
25
Page 26
The DiggiDitto™ has three light settings: Upper Light On, Base Light On, and All Lights Off. The Upper Light ON option illuminates printed materials and 3-dimensional objects, whereas the Base Light ON setting presents transparencies such as slides or negatives. If the natural environment light is sufcient, it may be desirable to use DiggiDitto™ with all lights turned off.
When the document camera is initially powered, the upper lights turn on by default. To change the setting press the
Lamp button located on the front control panel or on the remote control. The light setting will change within a second or so. Please note that both the upper light and base light cannot be on simultaneously.
