• Assemble the components and/or accessories following the user manuals supplied with each item.

3.2 Cables

• Make sure that the connection cable between Control Unit and the glasses does not get hooked by anything in the surrounding area while wearing the device. Also, make sure that the glasses-control unit connection cable does not wrap around your neck as this could cause accidents or injuries to the user.
• Verify the integrity of the glasses-control unit connection cable; do not use the cable if it is damaged as it could cause fire or electric shock.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the eyeglass-control unit connection cable.
• Do not bend, twist or pull the glasses-control unit connection cable.
• Keep the power cable away from hot electrical devices.
• Verify that the cables are not placed in such a way as to be a risk to the user or to someone around them.
• Make sure that the power and glasses-control unit connection cables are not at risk of being walked on.
• Do not use the device while it is charging.

In the following situations, turn off the product immediately, disconnect the eyeglass-control unit connection cable and contact your local dealer or Univet S.r.l Service Center:

• In case of smoke, obstructions, smells, or noises;
• In the event that liquids or foreign objects enter the product;
• In case the product has been dropped or damaged;

**Continuing to use the device in these conditions may result in fire or electric shock. Do not attempt to repair, open, or modify this product by yourself**

3.3 Battery

The following list details some battery-related tips and warnings:

• Recharge the battery at least once every 6 months to avoid battery degradation.
• If the rechargeable battery is not used for a long time, we recommended running the battery for a complete cycle (100% charged to completely flat) a few times to ensure battery efficiency.
• If the battery performance decline significantly, the battery may have reached the end of its useful life and must be properly disposed and replaced.
• Charge the battery in an environment with a temperature range between 10°C and 30°C. The battery efficiency may decrease if it is charged outside this temperature range.
• Use only battery chargers approved by the manufacturer; using other chargers can: reduce the overall battery life, cause battery fires, explosions, or the device malfunction.
• Do not place the battery on heating devices such as ovens, stoves, or radiators, or near devices that emit electromagnetic waves such as microwave ovens as the battery could explode.
• Do not expose the batteries to very high or low temperatures.

3.4 Third-Party Accessories

Third-party accessories can be connected to the PPE to add additional functionalities, however, the following must be taken into consideration:

• The accessory must be designed in such a way as not to affect the mechanical or electric components of the device.
• The accessory must not impact the function of the glasses or the face area protected by the glasses.
• Before attaching an accessory verify that, if it detaches from the unit during use, this presents no risk.

3.5 Third-Party Control Units

Third-party Control Units can be used with the device but they must:

• Only if connected via the USB cable provided by Univet s.r.l.

• Third-party Control Units must:
  • use the standard USB 2.0  hardware interface;
  • use a communication protocol that follows the frame buffer standard and the CDC defined and limited by Univet s.r.l.;
  •be certified and marketed CE;

• In order to maintain its safety status, the device must not be affected or altered by the Control Unit.

3.6 Control Unit Safety

The Control Unit manages voluntary and involuntary disconnections from the glasses thanks to a pre-installed application. The application starts automatically on start-up.
The application works by:

• tracking the last application in use;
• stopping the application which should in turn save its state at the time of the disconnect;
• restarting the application which should in turn restore its state to that of the time of disconnection.

If you manage critical data, we recommend backing up the data at regular intervals
