CLEAR HD VIDEO GLASSES

USER GUIDE

Using a camcorder has never been as non-intrusive or hands-free as the Clear HD
Video Glasses. Just put on the eyeglasses, press a button, and capture exactly what
you’re seeing and hearing. The unisex-design frame contains 8GB of storage with the
camera’s lens hidden in the bridge. Also embedded in the frame is a microphone and
a lithium polymer battery that powers the camera for up to 90 minutes. You recharge
the camera using the included USB cable. Plug the camera into your computer, and
you’ll be able to review all you witnessed in high-denition video.

Precautions

Don’t leave the glasses in a hot environment such as on the dashboard of a vehicle
parked under a blazing sun.

Don’t immerse the glasses in liquid or expose them to rain or snow. The camera
electronics are not waterproof.

Don’t toss the glasses into a re since the battery could explode.

Don’t aim a bright light into the lens or point the camera at the sun since either could
damage the sensor.

Don’t operate the device in dusty, sandy or dirty places since the camera’s
components could be damaged. If you want to chance taking the camera into less
than ideal conditions, rst cover the USB port with black electrical tape.

This product should not be used in illegal ways. Observe relevant laws.

Getting Started

Charge the internal battery by attaching the included USB cable to the port on
the underside of the frame and tethering it to a USB adapter (not included) that
plugs into an electrical outlet. You can also charge the device from a USB port on
a computer. During charging a tiny yellow LED on the inside of the frame will blink
when battery power is low and blue when fully charged. Figure about an hour to
charge the camera the rst time.

If you turn on the glasses when battery power is low, the indicator will blink yellow
and blue, then shut down. This is your cue to recharge the glasses before trying to
use them.

Setting the Date and Time

Using a word processing program or text editor such as Notepad on your computer,
enter the current date and time on one line in the following order:

“year/month/day/hour/minutes/seconds”

Use numbers only. For example, 2016, September 2 at 11:30 A.M. would be entered
as: 20160902113000

Tip: Add an extra minute or two to the time you enter to accommodate the steps that
follow.

Save the data with the “timerset.txt” le name. (Microsoft Word, for example, enables
you to save content as a “txt” le rather than in its default “docx” format.) Once you
connect the glasses to the computer’s USB port and it comes up as an external
drive, save or copy the timerset.txt le into the external drive’s root directory.

Note: Don’t save the timerset.txt le inside the DCIM folder, which is reserved for the
video les captured by the camera.

Operation

With the battery charged and the cable removed from the eyeglasses, turn on the
camera by holding down the On/Off button under the frame for three seconds. If
you’re right-handed, hold the eyeglasses upright with the glasses to the left. Look at
the two tiny LED indicators as you operate the button. A blue LED will briey light up
indicating standby mode. Release the button. Then, a yellow LED will ash 10 times
to indicate recording is about to begin. LED indicators go dark during recording. The
eyeglasses should now be capturing live video, so you can put them on and look in
the direction of subjects you want in the recording frame.

Tip: Keep your head steady while recording. Rapid movement (pivoting or nodding)
could momentarily smear the video. If possible, turn your head slowly when shifting
your viewpoint.

The camera does not have macro focus, but you should be able to get as close as
about 12-inches without losing clarity. Keep in mind that when objects you’re shooting
are that close, you should lower your eyes slightly in order to properly frame the view
from the slightly-higher positioned lens of the camera.

Tip: Be aware that the microphone is on the frame’s right side as you’re wearing
the glasses.That means on playback the audio captured from your right side will be
louder than sound originating on your left side. If capturing a conversation is critical,
try to position yourself so that your head is slightly turned to the left and the frame’s
right side is aimed toward the speaker.

Playback

You’ll hear a three-note audio cue when plugging the Clear HD Video Glasses into
your computer or unplugging the glasses. The device will appear as an external
drive. For example, videos might appear under the D: drive and always in the DCIM
subdirectory as in:

D:\\DCIM\MOV1000.avi

Videos are in the AVI format, and you’ll need freely-available software (not included)
such as the VLC Media Player to play them.

Use your computer’s le manager to copy videos to your computer and/or delete
them from the camera.

Note: The recording's date and run time are displayed in the bottom right corner of
each video. The display cannot be disabled.

To pause video recording, quick-press the On/Off button. The blue LED will glow
steadily, indicating Standby mode. The video will be automatically saved to a le.

To resume video recording, quick-press the On/Off button again. The yellow LED will
ash 10 times, indicating that recording is about to start. When the LED goes dark,
video recording begins in a new le.

To stop recording, hold the On/Off button for three seconds. The blue LED will quickly
ash three times, indicating the camera has shut off.

CLEAR HD VIDEO GLASSES USER GUIDE 6

Can the camera record video while plugged into a USB power port?

No. The camera can only record while powered from its battery.

Can the recording resolution be changed?

No. Video is captured at 1280 x 720 pixels.

Can the audio be disabled during video recording?

No.

How much memory does a 15-minute le use?

Approximately 1GB.

What happens when a recording exceeds 15 minutes?

A new le is automatically started. Since it is contiguous, you shouldn’t lose content.

Can the non-corrective lenses in the frame be replaced with prescription
lenses?

An optician may be able to t real eyeglasses into the frame, but custom-made
frames are not offered. Alternatively, if your eyesight requires corrective vision,
consider wearing contacts while using the Clear HD Video Glasses. If you must wear
prescription glasses at the same time—and don’t care about how foolish or attention­grabbing wearing two pairs of glasses at the same time looks—make sure to wear
your prescription glasses under the Clear HD Video Glasses so as not to block the
camera.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Clear HD Video Glasses be used to take photographs?

No. The camera is meant for recording video. You can grab still images from the video
once it’s playing in a computer.

Can the camera be set for loop recording?

No. Once the internal memory lls up, the camera will stop recording. You must
transfer and delete les manually using your computer.

No. When the camera is plugged into a computer’s USB port, you can only play and/
or manage content that was previously recorded.
