Treat your Blade as you would any quality eyewear. It is mostly
maintenance free and requires only to be wiped down periodically.
Use only the included microfiber pouch or equivalent microfiber
cloth.
CAUTION: Do not spray with cleaners. If required, use a
microfiber cloth moistened with standard eyeglass cleaner. Avoid
drips or spills. Solvents, cleaners and paper towels should never
be used on your Blade.
CAUTION: Do not pack loose objects in the zipper case with the
Blade. Loose objects may rattle and cause damage.
CAUTION: Vuzix Blade is not water resistant. Avoid submerging
and exposure to moisture. Excessive moisture will damage the
Blade.
