Safety Information
MagniLink Vision is only intended for use as a reading aid in home,
school or office environments.
Before connecting, check the system and the mains cord to ensure
that nothing is damaged. The enclosed power supply is only
intended for use with the MagniLink Vision.
Never operate the MagniLink Vision if the unit has been exposed
to water or other liquids.
Damaged mains cord or plugs may result in electrical shock or a
fire hazard. Do not allow anything to rest or roll over the mains
cord.
If cleaning is required, unplug the MagniLink Vision, and then use a
slightly damp (not wet) cloth. Only use water or a detergent
specially made for cleaning monitors and computers. Do not use
aerosol cleaners directly on the MagniLink Vision since it may
overspray and cause an electrical shock.
When operating the reading table, do not place hands under or
behind the reading table as one’s finger may get caught between
the reading table and the stand or the slides. The MagniLink Vision
should be placed at least 10 cm from the edge of the table.
Warning! Do not apply excessive weight to the reading table when
it is in its most extended position, as this may cause the system to
turn over, which could lead to personal injuries.
If the MagniLink Vision is to be transported, do not lift the unit by
the screen or the reading table, as these are movable parts.
If you are unable to restore normal operation by following the
operating instructions, do not attempt any further adjustments.
Unplug the set and contact your dealer or service technician. Only
use replacement parts specified by LVI.

!
Moving the system from a cold to a warm place may cause
condensation (water droplets) on its internal surfaces or on the
lens. To avoid condensation, install the system in the room where it
is to be used at least 30 minutes before use. Do not expose the
system to sudden or extreme changes in temperature.
If you are unsure, contact your dealer or service technician.
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the
equipment to moisture. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
do not remove the cover.
No user serviceable parts inside. Please refer service to qualified service
personnel.

Unpacking
The equipment is delivered in one box containing:
the unit
the user manual
Power adaptor
Inspect the package for exterior damage. Note that severe damages
should be addressed with the transport company.
Open the box and take out the MagniLink Vision. Remove the packaging
and place the unit on a table. The mains cord is placed on the back of
the unit. Refer to the section “Installation”, in the next chapter, for
further information.
3.1 Packaging
The packaging of the unit contains the following:
cellular plastic (EPP)
corrugated cardboard
polyethylene (LDPE4)
LVI recommends that all packaging material be kept, to be reused in
case of future shipping.

Installation
Place the unit on a table. The MagniLink Vision should be placed at least
10 cm/3.9 inches from the edge of the table. Note that the system’s
reading table can be moved up to 30 cm/11.8 inches in three directions.
MagniLink Vision is very light, which means that it is important to place
the system correctly to ensure that it always remains stable, especially if
the reading table is in its most extended position. An overload in this
position may cause the system to turn over.
Connect the mains cord to the wall socket and press Power On. The unit
is now ready to be used. The screen can be tilted 10 degrees and
lowered 8,5 cm/3.4 inches from the highest position. Place your hands on
the soft touch padding on both sides of the screen and adjust it to the
desired position. Release the brakes on the reading table; you are now
ready to start using the MagniLink Vision.
Writing position
Place the reading table in the desired position. Lock the table by
pushing the side way brake to the right end position and the depth way
brake to the far end position (towards the back).
Transport position
Place the table in the middle position and push it back as far as possible.
Lock the table by pushing the side way brake to the right end position
and the depth way brake towards the back.

4.1 Work place
A comfortable work place around your MagniLink is important.
It could be useful to keep the following in mind:
The chair should have a back rest.
The seat of the chair should be at a height which does not make
your legs become numb.
Let your feet rest on the floor.
The reading table should be at a height which allows your forearm
to rest horizontally on the table.
Shield off daylight. Lights from ceiling lamps, table lamps and
windows might be reflected on the monitor.

Troubleshooting
If nothing happens when turning the system on, refer to the section
“Installation“ and check that all connections are correct.
If the LED to the left of the main switch is solid red, something is wrong
with the equipment and it cannot be used. Press the main switch once
and MagniLink Vision will make three attempts to restart. If the light still
indicates a solid red, turn off the equipment and contact an authorised
service technician.
If the light is flashing red, it means that the wrong voltage is being
supplied from the power supply. If the problem continues, pull out the
power outlet cable and contact an authorised service technician.
Never disassemble any covers to try to repair the system yourself.
