READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY INFORMATION PROVIDED BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.
Use the product only for its intended use, as described in this manual.
Close supervision is needed when this product is used by or near children.
Children under the age of seven (7) are still learning to focus and track with their eyes. Their vision is still immature. For these reasons, near eye-displays SHOULD NOT BE USED BY CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF SEVEN (7).
A very small portion of the population may experience epileptic seizures when viewing certain kinds of flashing lights or patterns that are commonly present in our daily environment. These persons may also experience seizures while watching some kinds of television pictures or playing certain video games on regular monitors, including the use of a display system such as this. These effects can be increased due to the size and nature of the displays in this device. As a result, consult a physician if you have any epileptic condition before using this device or if you experience any of the following symptoms while using this device: altered vision, muscle twitching, other involuntary movements, loss of awareness of your surroundings, mental confusion, and/or convulsions.
Smart glasses can potentially have adverse effects on the user, including: motion sickness, perceptual after effects, disorientation, decreased postural stability, and eye strain. Take frequent breaks to lessen the potential of these effects, as is commonly suggested for other items, such as keyboards and computer monitors, that you may tend to fixate or concentrate on. If your eyes show signs of fatigue or dryness or if any of the above symptoms are noted, immediately discontinue use of this device and do not resume using it for at least 30 minutes after the symptoms have fully subsided.
Permanent or temporary hearing loss or impairment can result from excessive volume levels emitted from the included headphones or earbuds. Always adjust the volume to a safe level BEFORE wearing the product earbuds or headphones.
This product may be tethered to a power source or battery and cables may extend between components. Be careful that these cords do not tangle around you or pose a potential threat to the safety of others.
Do not disassemble this product. If service work is required, contact Vuzix using the Support contact information shown in this manual.
Do not pull or yank on the cable, kink any of the cables or tie them in sharp or tight knots. Cables damaged by such actions are not covered by the product’s limited warranty.
