Narrator:  The power cord plugs in the back.  It does require three prong or grounded outlets.  Other items you will be plugging into the back again the controller and the plug end is uniquely shaped with a flat side and rounded top.  Along the back there is only one spot for it to be plugged into and it has drawn the shape of the plug.  Along the back portion of the console the only other thing to plug in would be the optional foot pedal.  The foot pedal is not needed for most functions of this device but when we talk about the advanced features towards the end of the module we’ll be plugging this unit in.  It has a simple jack that plugs in right beside where the controller is.  
Description:  Narrator plugs power cord into the bottom middle section.  He then pulls out the box with approximately eight buttons on it and plugs in another cord with a smaller end next to the power cord.
While we have the device still facing this direction we will just note along the top edge the main housing unit has a coolant fan right at the rear and there are several ports along the back that you will note.  The first one is a VGA or computer-like signal that will come out of this.  This feature is useful if you want to take the image that you are magnifying under the device and want to display that on an alternate viewing screen.  For example if you wanted the rest of the class to see whatever’s being magnified for example in a science project say grade 3 and its rocks and minerals.  The student could have the rock or mineral being displayed under the viewer and the teacher could have this plugged into the LCD projector in the classroom and on the large screen display for all the students, not just the student who is visually impaired what is happening to that rock or mineral in the experiment they’re doing.  The next port is a computer signal in opposite of what the previous one was the computer signal in allows for an alternate VGA or computer signal to be displayed on the front LCD screen.  What that allows is for the student to use a split screen or a full screen mode of viewing not only what’s being magnified under the CCTV-like device but also could import a computer signal if their working on a computer work station they could view that or and this one is very applicable to this day and age in computers and schools would be the Smart Board technology.  If a teacher is displaying the assignment on the Smart Board there is the technology available to split the digital signal and display it closer up for the student who is visually impaired.  Picture if you will a student who’s sitting in the front row of a classroom is still unable with his or her visual impairment to see the board.  If you have the Smart Board with video split signal displayed at that students desk with the monitor the student can see notes are being done for the whole class without being either in the way of either looking at the large screen in front as well as having it right close to themselves.  That being said if you use this device to display that same image from a Smart Board you’ve now combined two excellent tools for that student in one.  They can not only view the Smart Board but now they can also view whatever notes they need to write or assignment they need to complete using the Smart Board and switching back and forth on the display from those two devices.  Along the back also is a video feed in also known as an RCA plug-in this video feed can input similar to how before we talked about a computer signal being beamed into the device.  You could have a TV signal beamed in.  The application in the classroom, the student has this device on their desk.  They’re using it to magnify their notes or read but now it’s time for the class to watch a video.  A lot of classrooms these days seem to have the videos or the video displays mounted up high in a corner in the classroom or alternately some classrooms may still have the VCR/TV or hopefully now DVD or even Blue Ray on a cart they roll from classroom to classroom.  In either event the student with low vision typically would have to move to the front row in order to see what’s on the view screen.  With the RCA jack input you could split the signal from the back of the DVD player or the TV itself and have it displayed on their screen.  They would still need to use the foot pedal to switch between the different view screens but they could at their desk see what the movie is or video or training feature without interrupting any other student, without having to move from their desk and see it with better clarity than if they were trying to see it in the front row.  Now we’re going to switch back to the front and show you how to operate the myReader.
