User questions & answers

Question: I am interested in this for my mother with macular degeneration. Can we return it if she finds it unhelpful or too complicated? What is Return policy
Answer: You can return it but they will keep 19% of the price as a restocking fee. They don't tell you this up front. They keep over $300. I find this to be unethical and deplorable. Most restocking fees are 5%. My mom could not operate the device and it ended up costing me over $300 to find this out.
Question: Does it have a warranty
Answer: Yes, it has a warranty
Question: Does the screen has black color/background with white color text
Answer: Yes...you can change the print and background color in a number of ways; black background with white text is one option out of several.
Question: Is it possible to write (like a check) under the magnifier
Answer: Yes, you first meet to switch the device into writing mode. Then you place the check or whatever you are writing on under the magnifier. You will need to do some maneuvering to get your hand and the pen comfortably under the magnifier so you can write. But this will come with experience.

User questions & answers

Question: Where is this product shipped from
Answer: USA
Question: Dose this work with the new iPhone SE second gen 4.7 inches screen
Answer: It will work with ANY phone
Question: Why do they advertise the image covering the whole plastic screen, but when people demonstrate it, you see the edge of the phone through screen
Answer: I have a Samsung 10 that has a 6 inch screen. I've found that setting the screen up approximately 3 feet from my eyes and experimenting with the angle of the phone and projection screen (separately and together) can give good results. I got to the point where the picture filled the screen fully from top to bottom, but not quite from side to side. It was a big improvement over just using the phone screen. I'm assuming a 6.5 inch phone screen would probably fill in pretty much all of the projections screen from side to side. Again, I found just experimenting a little gave good results especially when considering the portability and price point.
Question: Does it work with an I-Phone 10 that has a cover on it
Answer: Yes. It will work. You can lean any size smart phone against the stand and it will project the image on the reflection plexiglass.

User questions & answers

Question: Does the battery recharge? Can I purchase a wall plug charger
Answer: Could you tell us clearly about the broken screen ?
Question: How do I change battery and connect to magnifier
Answer: You can do either. I ended up returning this particular model as there was one (also on Amazon) for $178 that had a slightly larger screen. It offered the same number of colour choices as well as magnification modes. My Mom is very happy now.

Question: Does it have its own light source for dark places
Answer: Hello David, Yes it's re-chargeable, it comes with a USB cord, you can plug it into your computer to charge, also comes with a TV cable, cleaning cloth & carrying case. As far as the wall charger you can use your phone plug charger, just plug the USB to it, the Wenichen has a different plug on one end & a USB plug on other end. Hope this helps. Serg
