SAFETY AND CARE
To ensure your safety and obtain the most benefit from DaVinci Pro, please review these safety
precautions carefully.
DaVinci Pro is designed to enlarge and enhance text and read print aloud in order to improve
the quality of life for people who are visually impaired. The extent to which this product can
improve the ability to see images depends on a person’s individual condition and level of visual
impairment.
DaVinci Pro is not designed to restore vision, correct eye conditions or halt degenerative vision
loss. An eye care professional can determine the usefulness and suitability of DaVinci Pro for a
patient’s individual condition.
Precautions for Use
• Follow all warnings, cautions, and instructions marked on the product.
• Use DaVinci Pro on a stable, level surface such as a solid desk or table, according to its
intended design specifications.
• Avoid placing DaVinci Pro on an unstable table, cart or stand. It may fall causing serious
damage to the unit or bodily injury.
• Use DaVinci Pro indoors only – it should NOT be exposed to extreme or rapid changes in
temperature or humidity. Do not place DaVinci Pro near a radiator, heater or areas exposed to
long hours of direct sunlight. These conditions may cause damage to the unit’s electronics or
optics.
• At least once per week, clean DaVinci Pro with a soft dry cloth or an electrostatic dusting
cloth. DO NOT use liquid cleaners on its plastic surfaces. No additional methods of sterilization
or cleaning are recommended or required.
• Do not use DaVinci Pro near flammable materials or liquids.
5
Additional Electrical Safety Precautions
• The power supply cord is a disconnect device for electrical equipment. The socket-outlet
should be installed near the equipment and be easily accessible.
• This product is equipped with a 3-wire grounding type plug as a safety feature. This plug has
a third (grounding) pin and can only be plugged into a grounding-type power outlet. If
necessary, contact an electrician to replace your power outlet with a grounding-type power
outlet.
• Do not use DaVinci Pro in, near or around water. DaVinci Pro is not designed to offer
protection against contact with liquids of any kind.
• Use only the power supply provided with your DaVinci Pro. Using unauthorized power
supplies may cause serious damage to DaVinci Pro’s electronic components.
• Using any other power supply than the one provided by Enhanced Vision for DaVinci Pro will
void the warranty.
• Always place the power cord away from traffic areas to avoid damage of power supply.
• Prevent the risk of electrical shock by NOT attempting to disassemble the unit. Please refer
all service to an authorized repair facility.
• Please ensure that you make connections that match those shown in Figure 2 on page 10.
Additional Mechanical Safety Precautions
Your DaVinci Pro features an adjustable Camera Arm. It has a variety of usable orientations.
Please do not attempt to forcibly reposition or adjust the camera arm outside of the ranges
demonstrated on Page 17. It may cause damage to the device.
Transporting DaVinci Pro
• Use caution if you are repositioning DaVinci Pro a short distance across a desk or table. Make
sure you do not pull on any power cords or connector cables.
• Disconnect and secure all power and video cables before moving the unit.
• Carry the unit only by the recessed handle located on the back. Do not carry DaVinci Pro by
the Camera Arm. (See Figure 1 Safe Transport Page 10)

Caring for DaVinci Pro
• Always turn the power OFF by pressing the power button on the front of the device for five
seconds when DaVinci Pro is not in use. (Please avoid trying to Shut Down the device by
spontaneously removing from power)
• Optionally you may also place the device into “Standby” state which is a power saving
mode by pressing the power button for less than 5 seconds.
• Ensure that your DaVinci Pro is completely OFF before cleaning.
• Clean DaVinci Pro with a soft dry cloth or an electrostatic dusting cloth. DO NOT use liquid
cleaners on its plastic surfaces.
• The protective glass covering the camera can be cleaned as needed with the lens cloth
provided within the packaging of DaVinci Pro.
Susceptibility to Interference:
There may be temporary degradation of the image when DaVinci Pro is subjected to a
strong radio frequency field, electro-static discharge or transient electrical noise. An
electro-static discharge (caused by static electricity) may cause the screen to go blank. If
this happens, disconnect the AC power from the electrical outlet, wait 30 seconds, and
connect the AC power again.

1080p High Definition viewing.
OCR Mode

Using DaVinci Pro in CCTV Mode
DaVinci Pro camera is attached to a specifically designed arm that allows the camera to
slide left to right or to pivot in multiple directions. When the Device is in CCTV mode it
is operated by simply moving this arm or camera assembly and pointing it at your target.
The image will then be viewable on the LCD Monitor.
DaVinci Pro LCD is mounted on to a bracket that allows the user to tilt the screen to
adjust for the best viewing position. Choose an angle or position that is most
comfortable for viewing.
Figure 7 Range of Motion

Desktop Mode
The Camera can be adjusted downward for reading, writing and enjoying crafts or other
hobbies. This makes it ideal for classroom use. When the camera is rotated downward,
“Desktop” is announced. DaVinci Pro can slide freely, left or right, along the specially
designed bracket mechanism. It is best to close the Close-up Lens when objects are
placed 12”-19” away from the Camera for optimal viewing clarity.
