Revision History
Changes to the original guide are listed below:

Unpacking

1. Carefully remove all protective material from the device and save the shipping container for later storage and shipping.

2. Verify that the following items were received:
   NOTE : The HD4000 with Glasses differs from the HD4000 with Prescription Frames.
   • HD4000 mounted on Glasses or Prescription Frames with USB Cable.
   • Cable Retention Sleeve.
   • Regulatory Guide.

3. Inspect the equipment for damage. If equipment is missing or damaged, contact Zebra Global Customer Support immediately.

4. Prior to using the device for the first time, remove the protective shipping film that covers the optical module.

CAUTION : Do not attempt to repair the Optical Module Assembly; contact Zebra Global Customer Support to report damaged or missing equipment.

Cautions

• The lensless prescription frames provide no protection if worn with ordinary prescription eyeglasses. Protective eyewear must be worn over the prescription eyeglasses where it is required.

• Ensure proper adjustment and fit of the optical module. The user must be able to see the full image through the display window without any cropping, as it could lead to focus issues.

• Ensure that there is adequate eye clearance while wearing the glasses or prescription frames.

• Take periodic breaks (approximately every two hours) to prevent straining eyes.

• Proper training, use, and appropriate maintenance are essential for the product to help protect the wearer.

• Always ensure that the complete product is:
  • Suitable for the application
  • Fitted correctly
  • Replaced when necessary.

• Always use both hands to put on and remove the product.

• Incorrect assembly may result in serious injury.

Getting Started

CAUTION: Vestibular Effects – Use of the device may cause the user to experience dizziness, headache, nausea, loss of concentration. If you experience any of these effects, discontinue the use of the device.
Perform the following steps to set up the device for the first time:

1. Determine dominant eye.
2. Position Optical Module Assembly.
3. If required, switch the Optical Module Assembly.
4. Place the device on the head.
5. Route the cable.
6. Adjust Optical Module Mount.
7. Connect to a terminal.

CAUTION: You must use the Optical Module Assembly with the provided Glasses. Using the Optical Module Assembly without Glasses can lead to serious injury.

CAUTION: Do not point the exit window of the Optical Module Assembly directly at the sun or other intense light source, as it can damage the internal display.

Determining Dominant Eye

Eye dominance is the tendency to prefer visual input from one eye to the other. Most people are right-eye
dominant, however, in a small portion of the population, neither eye is dominant. It is best to use your dominant eye when viewing the display.

To determine which eye is dominant:

1. Place hands together as shown forming a triangle.
   

2. Keeping both eyes open, focus on any distant object.

3. Maintaining focus on the object centered in the triangle, close your right eye. If the object is still in the triangle, you are left-eye dominant.

4. Maintaining focus on the object centered in the triangle, close your left eye. If the object is still in the triangle, you are right-eye dominant.
   If the object is in the triangle with either eye then you are dominant eye neutral.

5. Repeat test to confirm.

Positioning the Optical Module Assembly

To position the Optical Module Assembly:

NOTE : From the factory, the device is configured for left eye dominance.

Figure 3 Optical Module Assembly over Glasses

1. Slide the Cable Retention Sleeve onto the left arm of the glasses until snug.

NOTE : The flap should be on the outside of the glasses arm.

2. Route the cable over the Optical Module Assembly onto the left arm of the glasses frame.

NOTE : For balance, it is recommended to route the cable to the opposite side of the mounting.

3. Place the cable securely into the Cable Retention Sleeve, and close the Velcro flap.

Switching the Optical Module Assembly

To switch the Optical Module Assembly position from over the right eye to the left eye:

1. Remove the Velcro flap on the Cable Retention Sleeve to release the cable, and slide the sleeve off the Glasses arm.
   

2. On the Optical Module Assembly, slide both the Locking Sleeves towards the center of the Glasses until they hit the hard stop.
   

3. Slide the Optical Module Assembly and the arm all the way out of the right side of the Optical Module Mount. Ensure that the Locking Sleeves do not slide off the Optical Module Mount.
   

4. Rotate swivel arm 180°.
   

5. Insert the Optical Module Assembly and the arm into the left side of the Optical Module Mount.
   

6. Pull the Locking Sleeves apart to secure the Optical Module Mount.
   

7. Adjust the Pupillary Distance (PD) and slide one or both plastic sleeves towards the outside of the Optical
   Module Mount.
   NOTE : here are grid lines on the arm that you can use for reference when you adjust PD.
   

8. Adjust the Ball Joint by rotating the Optical Module Assembly into the correct orientation.

9. like the Cable Retention Sleeve onto the right arm of the Glasses, and slide until snug.

10. Route the cable over to the opposite (right) side of the Optical Module Assembly.
    

11. Place the cable securely into the Retention Cable Sleeve, and close the Velcro flap.
    NOTE : The flap should be on the outside of the Glasses arm

Placing the Device on Head and Adjusting Display

If you are using the glasses, make sure the device is balanced on your head like a pair of eyeglasses. If you are
using a prescription frame, ensure that the frame sits comfortably over your eyeglasses.

Figure 4 Wearing the Device

After you wear the device, if it is not at the correct angle you may not be able to see all of the display text. Adjust the display until you see the start-up logo, and see as much as possible on the displayed screen.

Routing the Cable to a Device

When using the device with a mobile computer, route the cable down to the shoulder, and secure the cable to
clothing with a cable clip.

• If using a hip-mounted mobile computer, route the cable down your back and to your hip.
• If using a wrist-mounted mobile computer, route the cable down your arm to your wrist. Secure the cable to clothing with a second cable clip.

Figure 5 Route Cable to Device

Adjusting the Optical Module Assembly

When adjusting the Optical Module Assembly, hold Optical Module Mount when moving it up and down.

Figure 6 Adjust Optical Module Assembly

The Optical Module Assembly pivots and rotates, allowing you to properly position the Optical Module Assembly, and to move the Optical Module Assembly when you do not need to use it.
Use the pivot point to rotate the Optical Module Assembly. The ball joint allows for fine-tuning the position of the display for viewing.

1. Loosen the Locking Sleeves.

2. Place the device on your head, and then adjust for the best viewing angle.

3. Hold the Optical Module Assembly with one hand, and rotate at the pivot point.

4. Hold the Optical Module Assembly with one hand, and rotate the Optical Module Assembly at the ball joint for the best viewing angle.

5. Occasionally, due to normal wear, tension adjustment may be required to maintain stiffness to the ball joint.
   Tighten the Ball Joint Adjustment Screw to the desired level of stiffness.
   

6. Pull apart the Locking Sleeves to ensure the Optical Module Assembly remains in position.

Positioning Optical Module When not in Use

You can move the Optical Module Assembly away from your face when it is not being used for long periods of time.

1. Grasp the boom and rotate up and away from the face.
   

2. Pull apart the Locking Sleeves to ensure the Optical Module Assembly remains in position.

Connecting the Device

As soon as you connect the HD4000 to a Zebra-powered device, it will turn on.
Device power, radio, and application processing require a connection to a device running Android, or a computer running Windows 10.
Connect the device to a host computer using the attached USB cable.

Figure 7 Attached USB Cable

Connect the device to a mobile computer using an optional USB adapter cable.

NOTE : Via appropriate USB cables, the HD4000 is compatible with other Zebra products, once certified, such as mobile computers (for example WT6000, TC7X, and TC5X), and tablets (for example ET5X and L10). The compatible USB (Type C) cables are sold separately.
