2. Unfold the ClearNote unit.
3. Place the ClearNote on the connection point of the base plate.
4. Connect the remote control to the camera stand.
5. If you have already installed the ClearNote software connect the

please read the next chapter.
Using ClearNote with a laptop
Place your laptop on the ClearNote base plate and connect the USB cable
in your computer’s USB 2.0 port. The ClearNote can be positioned either
left or right of your laptop or desktop PC.
Positioning the camera head
ClearNote features an ultra-flexible camera that can be rotated around a
horizontal and vertical axis. Point the camera to a document for close-up
viewing. Alternatively, position the camera horizontally for distance or self-
viewing. The flexible camera head approaches a view of approximately
360º.
Camera positions
The ClearNote automatically re-adjusts to its original settings when the
camera is turned from near to distance viewing and back. For example
when you tilt the camera quickly from a whiteboard to your desktop, your
preferred viewing mode and magnification settings will automatically be
applied. Three sets of settings can be stored: document viewing, distance
viewing and looking behind you.
Close-up and distance viewing
The position of the camera unit can be adjusted for desktop or distance
viewing. To view objects within 25 cm, position the close-up lens in front
of the camera unit. To view objects at a larger distance, position the close-
up lens away from the camera.
