CHARGING FOR FIRST-TIME USE

Charge battery before use with wall charger, wait until all three LEDs are solid.
Can take up to two hours if the battery is fully empty.
The Power LED indicator will be Red if the battery is too low to power on, keep plugged in to USB to charge.

ASSEMBLING YOUR M400 SMART GLASSES SYSTEM

1.  The viewer will be worn on the dominant eye. Before attaching the viewer to either side of the Smart Glasses frames, determine your dominant eye for optimum use of M400 capabilities.
2. Attach viewer to the side of the frame by sliding the mounting rail onto the temple mount on the frames. Once properly fitted, the unit will be adjustable by sliding forward and backward.
3.  Using the same mounting process, attach the USB-C battery onto the other side of the frames.
4.  Plug one end of the USB-C cable into the viewer and the other end into the battery.
5.  When ready to wear your M400 Smart Glasses, lift the power cable over your head to rest on your shoulders as you place the Smart Glasses as you would a pair of glasses.
6.  Ear hooks and alternate nose pads are available for proper fit.

DETERMINE YOUR DOMINANT EYE
Extend your hands, placing them together to make a small triangle between your thumbs and knuckle. Keeping both eyes open, center a nearby object inside the triangle. Close each eye one at a  time. Notice how the object moves out of view when one eye is closed? When the object remains in view, the open eye is your dominant eye.

WEARING THE M400

1.  Make sure the Smart Glasses frames are resting comfortably on your head. Frames can be worn over the top of the majority of regular prescription eyewear. The nosepiece of the frames can be adjusted to fit comfortably and securely.
2. After mounting the viewer, adjust the viewer as shown until it is a comfortable distance and preferred position from your dominant eye.
3.  Adjust the eyepiece as shown until you can see the full image.
4.  Additional mounting options, including frames with prescription lenses, safety frames, hard hat, headband mounts, and more, can be found online at Vuzix.com under Products > M400 Smart Glasses > Accessories.

FOCUSING NEAR-FIELD
First time users may find some challenges focusing their near-field vision on the M400 display. Making sure to keep both eyes open, some users may need up to 20 minutes to adjust.

DEVELOPING FOR M400

Developer documentation is available at vuzix.com/developers. In order to power the unit during development, please note:

• The included battery does not support data pass-through.
• The viewer should be plugged into the developer’s machine with a USB C-to-C cable for the best experience.
•  If a USB A-to-C cable must be used, then using a CDP-capable port will provide enough power. If the USB-A port is not providing sufficient power, functions of the device may become impaired without notice, and the viewer may shut down completely.
