| INDEPENDENT LIVING AIDS - MonoMouse #859010 - Grasp this easy to hold mouse, then slide it over your reading material to read the enlarged letters or pictures on your own TV set. It is a basic unit that is suitable for the person who is happy with a fixed, unchangeable magnification size, such as in a magnifier, and who can see black on white images and does not want to view them as white on black. You can select a low magnification lens that enlarges 13.1X on a 20” TV monitor, or a high magnification one that enlarges 23.8X. If you were using a magnifier to enlarge to these levels, you would only be able to see 1 or 2 letters under the very small lens. By using an electronic magnifier, such as this one, you can read several phrases at one time on your TV monitor. After you put the jack into the RCA video jack on your TV and plug it into the AC outlet, you can begin reading. |
