The Opticard
Some words and phrases can’t be scanned
because the letters are too large, are handwritten,
or are on a background that the Pen can't scan. An
Opticard is located on the back of the Pen’s case. It
enables you to enter these words or phrases
manually by scanning in letters one at a time using
the bar codes (each key is a bar code).
To use the Opticard:
1. Hold the Pen case horizontally, with the
Opticard title on the right. Slowly scan the
Opticard key in the bottom left corner of
the Opticard to activate the Opticard
mode. When the Opticard mode is
activated, the light at the tip of the Pen
blinks more rapidly than before.
2. To enter a letter in lower case, scan (or
gently touch with the Pen tip on) the bar
code for the corresponding key. The letter
appears in the display.
• To enter an upper-case character
(situated left, above the bar code), scan
Shift, then the letter.
• Scan Shift twice to activate/deactivate
CAPS LOCK
. Activating
CAPS LOCK
enables you to enter letters in upper
case only.
