1.6 Starting for the first time after conversion of the device:

Starting for the first time must only be carried out by trained specialist personnel.

Connect the mains cable to the grid.

IMPORTANT in order to be able to use the HP Reverb G2 with the existing IPC, an operating system update of the IPC to
software V 15.21 (VWUpdate 1521OS) must be made. In addition to the normal Virtual Welding Update, the Win10
operating system is also updated (+ 15GB). The correct file can be requested via the GTSM.

IMPORTANT after the update of the IPC, an internet connection is necessary during the initial start-up in which the
Windows key is verified - if this is not possible, please contact GTSM.

ATTENTION The device is live!

IMPORTANT Between all steps involved in starting for the first time:

 Disconnect the device from the power supply before working in the device.
 Ensure that the device is protected against external activation.

1.6.1 Recalibrating the touchscreen device:

Calibration should not be automatically requested during commissioning of the completely converted device.

 Setup menu > Technical settings > Touchscreen calibration

The following calibration options are also available:

 Create 3x RFID CHIP contacts with transponder
 Windows -> ELO -> Calibration

1.6.2 Function test of the "Left-Right" speaker device

Perform a function test of the "Left-Right" speaker device in the Setup menu without glasses connected!

 Setup menu > "Left-Right"

First response on start-up:

HP logo starts to glow.

Spatial calibration of the glasses:

Put on the glasses, start the calibration and follow the indicated directional movements (left-right-up-down,
etc.)

 Management menu > Other settings > Calibration > Spatial calibration of 3D glasses

Function test of the glasses speakers:

Put on the glasses, open the speaker function test and check the response of the glasses speakers ("Left­Right"). It is best to hold the glasses speakers closed with your hands to make it easier to hear whether or not
they are working >> because the speakers of the device respond at the same time.

 Setup menu > "Left-Right"

2.6 Starting for the first time after conversion of the device:

Starting for the first time must only be carried out by trained specialist personnel.

Connect the mains cable to the grid.

IMPORTANT in order to be able to use the HP Reverb G2 with the existing IPC, an operating system update of the IPC to
software V 15.21 (VWUpdate 1521OS) must be made. In addition to the normal Virtual Welding Update, the Win10
operating system is also updated (+ 15GB). The correct file can be requested via the GTSM.

IMPORTANT after the update of the IPC, an internet connection is necessary during the initial start-up in which the
Windows key is verified - if this is not possible, please contact GTSM.

ATTENTION The device is live!

IMPORTANT Between all steps involved in starting for the first time:

 Disconnect the device from the power supply before working in the device.
 Ensure that the device is protected against external activation.

2.6.1 Recalibrating the touchscreen device:

Calibration should not be automatically requested during commissioning of the completely converted device.

 Setup menu > Technical settings > Touchscreen calibration

The following calibration options are also available:

 Create 3x RFID CHIP contacts with transponder
 Windows -> ELO -> Calibration

2.6.2 Function test of the "Left-Right" speaker device

Perform a function test of the "Left-Right" speaker device in the Setup menu without glasses connected!

 Setup menu > "Left-Right"
