1. What is LifeStyle CANDY?
LifeStyle CANDY is a handheld electronic video
magnifier that helps people with low vision to read
printed materials like personal mail, magazines,
newspapers, restaurant menus, product catalogs,
medicine bottles, grocery items and much more.
In addition to magnifying, LifeStyle CANDY can
change the text and background color to enhance the
image contrast for more comfortable reading. You can
select among 5 color modes.
The continuous digital zoom magnification feature
allows you to change the magnification level from 1.5x
to 22x. The auto focus feature helps to keep a sharp
image while moving the camera across the line of print.

2. Safety Precautions
Protect yourself and the CANDY by observing the
following precautions.
Do not plug the AC adapter into a faulty electrical
outlet. This is to prevent electrical shock or fire.
Do not touch the AC adapter with wet hands.
Only use the AC adapter provided with the CANDY.
Using another AC adapter may damage the device.
Do not use the CANDY in a moisture environment
like a bathroom, shower or on a wet surface like a
kitchen counter. This is to prevent any damage.
Do not disassemble the CANDY. If you or any
unauthorized person or company disassembles the
device, serious damage may occur to the device and
the warranty will be voided.
Do not use the CANDY under direct sunlight or in a
very hot or cold environment, as the image may not
display accurately on the LCD screen. Do not use
this device below 0°C or above 40°C.
