Additional detail for SAPPHIRE Portable Magnifier
Whenever and wherever you need a little help reading, SAPPHIRE is there to cover your magnification needs. Now you can read menus, verify store receipts, see details on maps, decipher bus and transit schedules - even read labels on over-the-counter medicines while at the drug store - with one compact and versatile battery-operated magnification solution.

The smooth-sliding fingertip control raises and lowers magnification from 3.4 to 16 times on a brightly lit seven-inch display screen. Adjust magnification up and down at will, without the need to refocus - great for reading newspapers with large headlines and small body text. The SAPPHIRE lies flat on reading material, so there’s no shaking or hand fatigue as with awkward magnifying glasses. Adjust the text and background color on the screen for high-contrast black and white, white text on black, full color - or any of 23 high-contrast color combinations.

The built-in reading stand gives you space to work under the camera with a small tool or the tip of a pen or pencil. Use the SAPPHIRE to take notes, jot down
Important phone messages and phone numbers, and fill out forms.

Want even more magnification while at home? Connect the SAPPHIRE to your TV to magnify up to 48 times on a 21-inch TV.

The SAPPHIRE takes some of the challenge out of purchasing over-the-counter drugs and packaged foods. While at the store, simply flip the screen, and hold boxes, cans, and bottles over the camera to magnify the small type that details the ingredients, warnings, contents, and price. Quickly take a one-button screen snapshot, and you can read the information without removing items from the shelf.

The SAPPHIRE is as easy to use as it is versatile. Simply turn it on with a push of a button, place it over an object or document, and use the slider to adjust the magnification. One button switches between different text and background color combinations. When you’re done with your SAPPHIRE, simply snap it shut, and tuck it into its included carrying case, your tote bag, or a desk drawer.
