Hello all,
Some of you already know me from other lists I belong to, but here goes.
I've been low vision for many years (80s) and recently lost all sight in the
past 7 years. I knew of the Optacon since others were using the original
models during rehab in the 80s but never really tried it.
Now that I can really benefit from one of these units, I have just purchased
an Optacon II from a co-list member of another list who didn't have time to
learn it's use. It's an interesting unit as what I can tell and look
forward to the challenge of it's use. Since I was sighted at one time, I
have the benefit of knowing shapes of the alphabet and numbers so that phase
is quick and dirty.
Now, the unit's last owner sold me the unit without a charging unit and the
battery is just about out of power. She said she didn't get one of the
charging units and extra battery from the original owner either. Anyone
know if I can aquire a charging unit anywhere? I don't really plan on using
this unit as portable just yet, but do have some applications where I will
need to have battery power available. I believe there is a Battery
re-seller on the internet who sells extra battery packs (SmartBattery or
similar) so battery acquisition may not be a problem.
Thanks for any assistance.
Regards,
Vince Mistretta
