Keeping Vuzix Blade Clean and Safe

Treat your Blade as you would any quality eyewear. It is mostly maintenance free and requires only to be wiped down periodically.

Use only the included microfiber pouch or equivalent microfiber cloth.

CAUTION: Do not spray with cleaners. If required, use a microfiber cloth moistened with standard eyeglass cleaner. Avoid drips or spills. Solvents, household cleaners and paper towels should never be used on your Blade.

CAUTION: Do not pack loose objects in the zipper case with the Blade. Loose objects may rattle and cause damage.

CAUTION: Vusi Blade is not water resistant. Avoid submerging and exposure to moisture. Excessive moisture will damage the Blade.
