ASSEMBLING YOUR M4000 SMART GLASSES SYSTEM

Before attaching the viewer to either side of the smart glasses frame, determine your dominant eye for optimum use of M4000 capabilities
Attach viewer to your preferred side of the safety glasses 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, and rotating/tilting the the display.
Using the same mounting process, attach the on-frame battery onto the other side of the frames.
Plug the USB-C viewer cable into the viewer and the on frame battery (the viewer will automatically turn on).
When ready to wear your M4000 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.
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.

ADJUSTING & CLEANING THE M4000

Holding only the plastic housing of the lens, adjust left, right, up and down for optimal use. NEVER adjust by touching/moving the waveguide display—doing so may damage or destroy the waveguide display. When cleaning, you may stabilize the display by gently holding the outer edge, but only if the rest of the unit is properly supported.

Applications can be installed on the M4000 via the Vuzix App Store. The Vuzix App Store will install and manage applications via the OTA
(Over the Air) mechanism and will require Wi-Fi connectivity.

Note: If your corporate firewall prevent access to the external website, your system administrator may provide additional settings for your M4000 or may provide a software update offline.

DEVELOPING FOR M4000

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.
