Introduction
Congratulations on your choice of a state-of-the-art scanning Pen from WizCom Technologies. WizCom makes personal, portable scanning Pens that assist with reading, understanding and utilizing text.
Inside the tip of the Pen is a sophisticated electronic eye. This eye enables you to scan different types of printed information directly into your Pen. The scanned text can then be edited and transferred to the PC.
The Pen comes with a touch screen and stylus, allowing easy manipulation of the Pen user interface and quick editing of scanned texts with the Virtual Keyboard.
Use this guide to find out about setting up and using your WizCom product.

The Pen comes with 2 AAA Alkaline batteries.
Safety Points (Batteries)
CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Use AAA Alkaline batteries only.
Always place 2 fresh batteries in the Pen. It is not
advisable to use the Pen with batteries that are not at the same voltage level.
Do not combine different types of batteries (e.g.
rechargeable and non-rechargeable).
Dispose of used batteries according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
Preserving Battery Usage
To optimize battery usage, go to Set Auto Shut-Off Time in Preferences in the Pen Main Menu and modify the settings according to your needs.

Getting Started
External Power Supply (using the USB cable)
Connecting the Pen to the PC using the USB cable automatically activates the power supply from the PC. This has the following implications:
The Pen uses the external power supply when
connected to the PC, so batteries last longer.
CAUTION: Unsaved information may be lost if the USB
cable disconnects while using without batteries. It is very important that the Pen always contains batteries, even when connected to the PC.
Set Auto Shut-Off Time in Preferences is disabled
when the Pen is connected to the PC.
Unpacking the Pen
To get started:
1. Remove the Pen from the protective case.
2. Lift the battery cover on the back of the Pen by pushing the tab down and out.
3. Insert the batteries into the Pen with the positive and negative terminals corresponding to the markings on the sides of the battery compartment.
Note: Make sure that your Pen always contains batteries, even when connected to the PC.
4. Close the battery compartment.
5. Remove the protective cover from the Pen tip.
6. Turn the Pen on by pressing the red power key.
The Pen is ready to scan!
