Attaching the mount.

To wear the OrCam MyEye, you need to install a
small mount with magnets on a glasses frame.
We recommend using thicker frames to better
support the device.

Choose whether you want to install the mount
on the right or left arm of your glasses frame.

You will require:

1. Your glasses frame

2. Your OrCam MyEye, powered off

3. The partially-assembled plastic mount

4. Pair of small scissors (provided in the box)

To assemble on the right arm of the glasses
frame, using the partially-assembled mount:

• Place the OrCam MyEye on the mount.

• Insert the right glasses arm through the

mount straps, ensuring the tab is towards the
back and camera is facing forwards.

• Align the front end of the OrCam camera

with the front of the glasses frame to position
the mount correctly on the glasses arm.

• Remove tab from back side of the mount.

• Press the mount onto the arm of the glasses

frame. Ensure the OrCam MyEye is still parallel
to the glasses frame’s arm and that the camera
is facing forward.

• Remove the OrCam MyEye from the mount.

• Push each strap around arm and through

the hole on the mount. Pull tightly to secure
mount.

• Carefully cut off the excess strap close to

the mount.

The mount is now attached to the glasses
frame and can be left there permanently. The
glasses can be folded with the mount in place.

See www.orcam.com/tutorials for a video
tutorial to help you attach the mount.

Note: If you prefer to attach the OrCam MyEye

to the left arm of the glasses frame, the mount
tab must face forwards during assembly, to
ensure the magnets are properly aligned.

Charging your OrCam MyEye.

• Attach the OrCam charger cable to the USB

outlet on the back of the OrCam MyEye.

• Plug the charger into an electrical socket.

The OrCam MyEye fully charges in 40 minutes.
Charge the device when not in use so it is
ready when you are.

OrCam strongly recommends using only the
original OrCam charger provided.

Turn on your OrCam device.

• Press the Power button on the inside of the

OrCam MyEye for about 2 seconds.

• The LED light on the inside of the device will

turn green.

• After about one minute you will hear, “OrCam

Version 8 is ready. Battery is [this many] percent
charged.”

If you did not hear the phrase, “OrCam is ready,”
or you are not sure that the OrCam MyEye is on,
touch the touch bar. If the device is on, you will
hear a response.

• Press the Power button once. You will hear

“Suspending. Press again to shut down.”

• Press the power button again. You will hear,

• Just before the unit shuts down, you will hear,

When you turn the OrCam MyEye on or off, it is

suspend mode after three minutes of inactivity.
This time can be adjusted in the setup menu.

three hours in suspend mode.
