Installation The Fusion is supplied the following components: o Main unit incorporating the mouse camera o Power supply adapter/charger o Mains cable o Carry case o Cleaning cloth When setting up, it is important to choose your workplace carefully to avoid an uncomfortable or awkward position. You should not have to raise your arm to use the mouse; your wrist should be on the resting on the surface. The display should be below eye level to avoid strain.
• Remove the Fusion main unit from its case and place on the work surface. • Flip open the lid by pressing on the front latch. • Power up the Fusion by pressing the power button, i.e. the right-most button on the front panel. When you place the unit on some text you should see the magnified image on the screen. The base of the main unit is fitted with rollers to allow the entire unit to glide easily over what you want to read.
Mouse Camera Fusion is great for reading something in a hurry; flip up the lid, turn it on, and off you go. However, for extended reading you will find it easier to use the mouse outside the main unit. To remove the mouse, flip open the cable housing cover, lift out the mouse and unwind the cable. You will find that the mouse is much lighter and more agile, allowing you to get into the binding of books or reading in awkward places.
Mouse Controls Scroll-Zoom wheel: The rubberized wheel on the mouse controls the magnification of the camera. Rotating the wheel forward increases the magnification; backwards decreases it. Overview: Rotate the scroll-zoom wheel fully backwards and at the end of the travel you will feel a small click as the camera goes into overview mode.
• Full-color mode for viewing photographs, images, etc. • Positive mode, an enhanced reading mode where the foreground “ink” is darker than the background “paper”. • Negative mode, an enhanced reading mode where the foreground “ink” is brighter than the background “paper”. The left button can be programmed to perform a choice of tasks (see “Mouse button functions menu” on page 12). Pressing both buttons together will bring up the battery symbol indicating the state of charge of the battery.
Main Unit Controls Power Button: Press to power-on the unit. Press again to power off. The unit will also be powered off by closing the display lid. The last used settings are stored at power off and are restored when the unit is switched on again. Rotary Knob: The central control knob can be rotated freely in both directions and pressed. Normally it controls the image brightness. Menu Press and hold the rotary knob for three seconds to access the menu.

exception to this rule is the backlight level, which is common to all modes. Adjusts the image brightness. Adjusts the contrast level of the image. Adjusts the color saturation.

Options Menu Allows the function of the left mouse button to be chosen. Displays the firmware revision of the unit.
Toggle on/off functions Menu TM Turn TextStretch mode on or off. Selecting this option appears to stretch the text horizontally, increasing the space between the letters. Many people find it a lot easier to read with this option. Sounds on/off. All sounds (except low battery alarms) will be silenced. Sleep mode on/off. In sleep mode the unit will automatically power off if no buttons have been pressed within a 15-minute period.
Switch to semi-color mode or back to black and white mode. Disable mouse button. If selected, Fusion will ignore that keystroke. Writing with Fusion The Fusion Mouse has handwriting stands that can be pulled out that allow you to write with the aid of the camera. Flip out one of the stands: use the left-hand-side stand if you are right handed and vice versa.
• Rotate the scroll-zoom wheel on the mouse fully backwards i.e. into overview mode. • When using the mouse for writing, it is best to use the full color mode. Battery The Fusion contains a rechargeable battery that can provide power for mobile use. The battery status indicator on the screen is normally white when running on batteries. It changes color to amber when the battery level is low, and red when it is very low. The Fusion will only power up very briefly, or not at all, when the battery is dead.
The battery will power the unit for around 3 hours depending on the backlight brightness. So, to extend battery time, use the lowest backlight level you can comfortably read with. A full recharge takes approximately 4hours. The Fusion will charge when the power cable is in; it does not have to be switched on and it will also recharge during normal use with the power cable attached. The battery cannot “overcharge” and does not have to be fully discharged before recharging.
Maintenance When Fusion becomes dirty it can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning agents as they can mark the display area. If dust appears on the image use a lens cleaning cloth supplied to clean the mirror of the mouse camera. When cleaning the mirror, be very gentle as the silver surface can scratch very easily.
