Introduction.
Congratulations on your purchase of MobilEyes.
With MobilEyes, you'll experience unmatched versatility in both Low
Vision and Blindness Technology.
This Manual and Startup Guide is intended for use by technically
oriented dealers, rehabilitation professionals, and end users. It
contains technical information on the MobilEyes Product and its
operation, as well as, information on how to perform specific tasks, if
the user desires.
Note: Guerilla Technologies Incorporated recommends that your
MobilEyes device be handled with care. Electronic devices are not
shockproof and great effort should be taken to ensure your
MobilEyes device is not dropped or otherwise hit against any hard
objects.
Items Packed with MobilEyes.
If you have purchased a basic MobilEyes device, the package would
include one MobilEyes unit, one Power Adapter, one Canon
Camera, two Leather Cases, (one each for the MobilEyes unit and
one for the camera), one USB 512MB Flash Drive, one Carrying
Pouch, one Stand Frame and four Stand Legs.
The Professional MobilEyes device would include all of the above
plus one External CDRW/DVD Drive, one Bluetooth Headset, one
Canon Flatbed Scanner, and one Hard-shell Travel Case.
To Set Up MobilEyes.
Step 1: Charging your device.
1. Although your MobilEyes Device was shipped fully charged, we
recommend that you charge it once you receive the device to enjoy
the maximum amount of time available when you decide to go
traveling where no power outlet is present. When a power outlet is
present, it would be best to use your device and charge it at the
same time. This will keep MobilEyes fully charged and in the best
battery level condition whenever you’re ready to go.
Page 2.
Step 2: Orientation.
In this entire manual, all references are made from the standpoint of
holding MobilEyes with its 7” screen facing the user. MobilEyes is
correctly oriented when the long edge that has two straps from the
leather case is facing toward the ceiling.
Controls Layout Overview.
The controls are laid out as follows;
On the left side of the front face of the unit, approximately two
inches from the top, there is one large button with a slightly rough
surface. This button is actually the top of a joystick and is called the
Navigation Control joystick.
- Pushing this joystick in any direction requires only slight
pressure and letting go of the joystick will allow it to return to
its default position.
- Pushing it from its default position toward the left is
equivalent to pressing the left arrow key on a standard
keyboard.
- Pushing it from its default position toward the right is
equivalent to pressing the right arrow key on a standard
keyboard.
- Pushing it from its default position down is equivalent to
pressing the down arrow key on a standard keyboard.
- Pushing it from its default position up is equivalent to
pressing the up arrow key on a standard keyboard.
Below the Navigation Control Joystick is a small button used for
changing screen resolution for low vision users. This button is
disabled for all MobilEyes basic users.
On the right side of the front face of the unit [directly across from the
Navigation Control Joystick], there are four smaller buttons with a
rubberized surface.
- These buttons are positioned to form a North, South, East,
West pattern and are called Function Buttons.
Page 3.
- Pushing the North, South, East, or West Function Buttons
will execute different tasks depending on which feature of
MobilEyes you are using.
- A Quick reference overview of each feature and its
corresponding Function Button set can be found in the help
file and later on in this manual.
Page 4.
Just above the Stereo Headphone Jack and approximately
one inch from the top edge of MobilEyes is a USB 2.0 port.
Just above the USB 2.0 port is a Digital Optic Out port. (used
only in MobilEyes Pro models).
There are four things to note about the top edge of MobilEyes.
Below the Function Buttons is a small round button with a smooth
surface. This is the Enter Button and is equivalent to pressing the
Enter Key on a standard Keyboard or a spacebar when an item is
selected.
Below the Enter Button is a small button used for high-level
computer settings like those found in the Microsoft Windows Control
Panel. This button is disabled for all MobilEyes basic users.
Along the thin edges of the MobilEyes device are various Ports,
Jacks and Controls.
There are six things to note about the left edge of MobilEyes
Starting from the bottom left corner and moving up the left
edge approximately one inch, you will find the lock switch.
Sliding this switch up locks all buttons and controls on
MobilEyes, preventing accidental button engaging. Sliding
this switch down unlocks all buttons and controls and makes
your MobilEyes ready for use.
Directly in the center of the left edge are the Volume Control
Buttons. The topmost button is used to increase the volume,
and the bottommost button is used to decrease the volume.
You can press either of these buttons once to change the
volume slightly, or hold either button in to change the volume
quickly.
Just above Volume Control is a standard Stereo Headphone
Jack.
Approximately one inch from the leftmost edge is an RJ45
Network Jack (used only in MobilEyes Pro models). This
Jack is protected by a door that opens by fingernail lifting
from the rear side of MobilEyes, which then serves as the
hinge for the door.
Approximately two inches from the leftmost edge is a
Compact Flash II slot. The left strap of the leather case
covers a portion of this slot. So, inserting a Compact Flash
card would require you to unsnap the left strap in order to
expose the entire compact flash slot. The left strap can and
should be re-fastened once your compact flash card is
inserted for the safety of the card and MobilEyes.
Just left of the leather case’s rightmost strap is the power
switch. The power switch rests in the center of a shallow slot
allowing it to slide to the left AND to the right. To power on
MobilEyes, simply slide the power switch to the right and let
go. The switch will spring back to its original position.
(Sliding the power switch to the left activates other functions
available only on MobilEyes Pro).
Approximately one inch from the rightmost edge are vents
that exhaust warm air generated from the circuitry inside
Mobileyes. Please make sure that these vents are never
obstructed. Failing to do so could cause MobilEyes to
overheat and may result in damage.
There are three things to note about the right edge of MobilEyes.
Page 5.
Approximately one and a half inches from the topmost edge
is a VGA port. This port is protected by a door that opens by
fingernail lifting from the rear side of MobilEyes, which then
serves as the hinge for the door.
Just below the VGA port is another USB 2.0 port.
Just below USB 2.0 port and approximately one inch from the
bottom edge of MobilEyes is the power adapter plug.
There is nothing to note about the bottom edge of MobilEyes.
Turning MobilEyes On and Off
Start MobilEyes by locating the power switch on the top edge, just
left of the rightmost strap. Slide the power switch to the right and let
go. The Switch will spring back to its original position on it own. You
should feel air from the internal cooling fan, come through a vent
just to the right of the power switch. This will tell you that MobilEyes
is booting-up (or starting). Boot-up takes about one minute. Use this
button to power down MobilEyes (to turn off MobilEyes), ONLY IF it
does not respond to the Software Shutdown Commands.
During boot-up, (Approximately 90 seconds) MobilEyes will play its
audio sound Welcome file. MobilEyes is ready for use when you
hear, “MobilEyes Loaded. Press Enter to Begin”.
Page 6.
Learning the Menu System
When MobilEyes is ready, you will hear it say, “MobilEyes loaded.
Press Enter to Begin.”
Pressing the Enter Button will bring the Category Menus to life and
the category in first position will say its name.
Using the Navigation Control Joystick, move to the second position
by sliding the Joystick slightly to the right, and letting go. If you do
not let go of the Joystick and continue to hold it to the right,
MobilEyes will quickly advance to the third position, and all
remaining positions until you let go of the joystick. When navigating
passed the category in the last position, MobilEyes will simply return
to the category in the first position and begin the list again.
The factory installed categories and their positions are as follows:
1st – Organizer. 2nd – Multimedia Central. 3rd – Click and Read. 4th –
Magnification. 5th – Games. 6th – Utilities. 7th – Exit.
If you navigate passed the category that you wanted to use, you
have the option of advancing through the entire revolving list again
or sliding the joystick to the left or reverse direction and navigate
backward through the list of categories.
Each of the seven standard categories of MobilEyes has several
associated feature that can be used. To hear the list of features that
fall under a particular category, simply slide the Navigation Control
Joystick down and let go. If you do not let go of the Joystick and
continue to hold it down, MobilEyes will quickly advance through all
associated features until you let go of the joystick. When navigating
passed the feature in the last position, MobilEyes will simply return
to the feature in the first position and being the list again.
If you navigate passed the feature that you wanted to use, you have
the option of advancing through the entire revolving list again or
sliding the joystick up or in the reverse direction and navigate up
through the list of features.
Page 7.
Some features will have the phrase, “options exist” announced after
their name. This means that there are options as to how that
feature can be used. To hear the list of options for a particular
feature, slide the joystick to the right after you are sure that you
have navigated to the feature you wanted and the existence of
options was announced by MobilEyes. You can also press the
Enter Button when you have navigated to a feature with options to
hear the options submenu for that feature.
Note: if you slide the Navigation Control Joystick to the left or right of
a feature that DOES NOT have options, you will navigate off that
feature list and onto the next or previous menu category depending
on the direction you navigated.
Once you have heard the first option of a feature, you can listen to
other options for that same feature by sliding the Navigation Control
Joystick down and letting go. When navigating passed the option in
the last position, MobilEyes will simply return to the option in the first
position and begin the list again.
If you navigate passed the option that you wanted to use, you have
the choice of advancing through the entire revolving list again or
sliding the joystick up or in the reverse direction and navigate up
through the list of options.
Only one application can be used at a time.

Your camera must be powered on BEFORE pressing the Enter
Button on your final option described below or MobilEyes will not be
able to connect to the camera. If your camera is either powered off,
has dead batteries or is not connected via the USB cable, the error
message “Camera Not Found” will be announced. Simply replace
the dead batteries, power on your camera, and/or check the cable
connection and try again.
The first picture taken each time you turn on your MobilEyes will

connect to your camera. Once the connection has been made, it
will remain established until you turn off your camera or the camera
batteries completely drain.

inches wide. It forms a rectangle whose short edge on the left side
is straight and also marks the left edge of the camera. The right

but curves as it reaches the front of the camera. This curve
indicates where the smooth power button for the camera is located.
When the connection is made between MobilEyes and your camera,
the camera lens will extend. Care should be taken in order to avoid
any damage to the extended camera lens. Never set down your
MobilEyes with the camera facing down.

Your camera must be powered on BEFORE pressing the
Enter Button on your final option described below or
MobilEyes will not be able to connect to the camera. If your
camera is either powered off, has dead batteries or is not
connected via the USB cable, the error message “Camera
Not Found” will be announced. Simply replace the dead
batteries, power on your camera, and/or check the cable
connection and try again.
The first picture taken each time you turn on your MobilEyes
will take slightly longer than all others due to need for
MobilEyes to connect to your camera. Once the connection
has been made, it will remain established until you turn off
your camera or the camera batteries completely drain.

Upon exiting the Mobile Close Up feature, MobilEyes
will return to the top of the feature list in the

Note: For greater stability and better alignment, your MobilEyes
comes with a Portable Camera Stand (some assembly required).
To assemble the stand:
1 Place the rectangular frame such that the short side of the
rectangle with the notch in it is to the left and facing up.
2 Find the threaded holes in each of the four corners of the
rectangular frame.
3 The two holes closest to you (that is the hole closest to
the notch and the hole across from it along the long edge
of the rectangle) are called the Away Holes and the other
two holes (that is the holes furthest away from you are
called the Out Holes)
4 Each hole was drilled from 5 to 10 degrees off from
straight vertical. The Away Holes were drilled 5 to 10
degrees AWAY from each other. (The left hole to the left
and the right hole to the right…. The Out Holes were
drilled 5 to 10 degrees Further OUT from you. (The left
and right holes in the same direction).
5 Place the screw end of the one leg in one of the holes,
angle it appropriately to the hole and turn the leg
clockwise until it is tight.
6 When all four legs have been assembled, flip the stand
over onto its legs such that the AWAY LEGS are closest
to you. This will allow you to slide an 8 ½ x 11-inch sheet
of paper (Landscaped) in between the AWAY LEGS and
as deep underneath the Camera Stand to the point where
the paper hits the OUT LEGS.
7 Place your MobilEyes on top of the Camera Stand and
make all the edges of MobilEyes flush with the edges of
the Camera Stand Frame. You will thus have your paper
perfectly aligned with MobilEyes to capture all the words
on that page.
