For optimal performance, Eye-Pal VISION should process only one command at a time. • When Eye-Pal VISION is starting up, make sure that there is no document on the base and that the ABiSee logo is not covered.
Troubleshooting Eye-Pal VISION is trouble free most of the time due to its simple, yet effective design. However, if you encounter a problem, here are some tips: 1. If Eye-Pal VISION freezes up, stops responding to your commands or is acting abnormally, please hold the triangle button in the hidden front panel for several seconds. You will hear “Restarting”. This process does not restart the device itself, just the software. 2.
