TROUBLESHOOTING
No power to the unit
• Can you power the unit using the included AC adaptor?
(Pages 10-11)
• Is the power supply properly connected to a surge protector
or an AC outlet (mains)? (Page 10)
Video image on LCD is blurry or not clear
• Clean the LCD display and/or camera lens using the
included cleaning cloth.
• Adjust the distance of the Pebble HD from your reading
material or adjust the handle angle as needed to
improve image quality (focus)
• Try selecting different viewing modes to improve image
quality (page 16)
Video image on LCD display is too bright/dark
• The Pebble HD is designed to be used in moderate lighting
conditions, preferably indoors. Bright lighting (or direct
sunlight) may produce shadows and/or reduce visibility. Try
moving to a more shaded area to improve image quality.
• Adjust the distance of the Pebble HD from your reading
material or adjust the angle of the handle as needed to
improve image quality (focus)
• Try selecting different viewing modes to improve image
quality (page 16)
• Try adjusting the LCD brightness in the Display Submenu
shown on (pages 24 & 25).
30 Chapter 5 Troubleshooting
Batteries will not charge
• Can you power the unit using the included AC
adaptor? (Pages 10-11)
• Is the power supply properly connected to a surge
protector or AC mains? (Page 10)
Unit turns off automatically
• To conserve power, your Pebble HD will
automatically go into standby mode after a user
defined number of minutes of non-use. This is not a
malfunction. (Page 24)
Pebble HD begins to make a “beeping” sound
• Approximately 15 minutes before shutoff the battery
icon (Critical Battery) will be displayed for 2 seconds
– at this point ‘Status Indicator #2’ will blink, indicating
low battery .
If the battery is nearly empty, and ready to shutoff,
the battery icon will be displayed with a partial ‘Red’
bar. At this point if the Pebble HD is not plugged in
within 1-2 minutes it will turn off.
Unit becomes warm to the touch
Your Pebble HD integrates a camera, LCD and battery
charging unit inside a very small package, but is
designed to be completely safe and does not pose a risk
of fire or damage. It is normal for the Pebble HD to
become warm (sometimes, very warm) after extended
periods of use. However, this is completely normal and
does not indicate a malfunction.

The Pebble HD video magnifier is designed to
enlarge and enhance images to improve the lives
of people who have low vision. The extent to which
Pebble HD can improve the ability to see images
and text depends on a person’s individual
condition and level of visual impairment. The
Pebble HD is not designed to restore vision,
correct eye conditions or halt degenerative vision
loss. An eye care professional can best determine
the suitability of the Pebble HD for a patient’
s
specific condition. For more
