Using MaxTrak (Accessory not included) 

When you need the extra support to guide 

your reading across a page you can attach 

the MaxTrak to the Max. MaxTrak allows 

you to follow a straight line easier. 

Start by placing MaxTrak on your table 

with the wheels touching the table sur-

face. The small end of MaxTrak should be 

closest to you. If this is done correctly, you 

can roll MaxTrak easily from left to right 

and back again. Then place the Max on 

top of MaxTrak and slip it into place.

Reading with Max 

If you are using Max for reading purposes, place the Max on the text 

so the first line is located approximately in the middle of your TV 

screen. Slide the Max across, left to right, over the first line.  Once 

completed, slide the Max back to the beginning of the line, and then 

slide it down to the next line. 

Practice the motion of moving Max on a straight line by keeping the 

palm of your hand on the table and holding Max in your hand.  Re-

peat this exercise several times with different printed material varied 

in col-umn width and length.  As you learn to move Max in a straight 

line and as you gain more control over the unit, it will become easier 

to use. 

We highly recommend purchasing the MaxTrak if you are reading for 

extended periods of time.

 MaxTrak is designed to attach to your Max 

and help guide you in a straight line.  Please read the section below 

“Using MaxTrak”.  

For better image quality, 

the Max must sit all the 

way down into MaxTrak.  

To use MaxTrak, slowly glide straight across 

a page from left to right. When you have 

reached the end of a line, glide back from 

right to left to the beginning of the line. 

Then lift Maxtrak and slightly move it down 

to continue reading. When you need more 

flexibility in movement, remove MaxTrak 

from the magnifier. 

Using Max Writing Stand  (Accessory not 

included) 

Place the Max on top of the Max Writing 

Stand so that the camera cable is facing away 

from you.  If you have inserted it cor-rectly, 

the Max should fit perfectly in the Max Writ-

ing Stand. 
Move the Max on top of your desired object 

that you would like to sign or write on. 

With your non-writing hand, tilt the Max 

Writing Stand to the LEFT if you are RIGHT 

handed and to the RIGHT if you are LEFT 

handed. 
For the best focus, turn Max to the highest 

level of magnification by rotating the dial 

from 12 o’clock to 3 o’clock.  See 

Adjusting 

the Magnification

 on page 11. 

It is best to use Color or Black & White view-

ing modes when using the writing stand.
