[Reader-users] Problem, may be camera related?

[Denise Thompson]

Hi

I have experienced this also. If you open the slens before starting 
or at the same time, I think it says someone else is using it because 
the default on the phone is that when the lens cover slides back the 
camera on the phone is activated. It's a quick way for people to take 
pictures. So the reader thinks the camera is already in use. I 
haven't looked into it enough to know if this default for the phone 
can be turned off or not. Just waiting to open till after the reader 
says ready like has been said takes care of that issue.
