EPIC OPTIX Epic Eagle Quick Start Manual
Quick Start Guide
Epic Eagle 1
We advise users to store the Epic Eagle HUD in an environment away
from direct sunlight when not in use or for extended periods of time.
When power is applied to the HUD, a cooling fan is activated. The operation of the fan enables the HUD to operate even in extreme heat from
direct sunlight. When not powered, the fan does not run and it should be
treated with the same care as you would any other consumer electronics
device. Post flight, we recommend operators should take it off the
glareshield and place back into the storage bag. We strongly recommend
not leaving in a hot aircraft cabin for extended periods of time.
