Important Safety Instructions

Follow these safety instructions when
using or handling your VUZIX Video
Eyewear to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, and injury to persons and
property.

1. READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS
AND SAFETY INFORMATION
PROVIDED BEFORE USING THIS
PRODUCT.

2. Use the product only for its intended
use, as described in this manual.

3. Close supervision is needed when
this product is by or near children.

4. Children under the age of seven (7)
are still learning to focus and track
with their eyes. Their vision is still
immature. For these reasons, THIS
PRODUCT SHOULD NOT BE USED
BY CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE
OF SEVEN (7).

5. A very small portion of the population
may experience epileptic seizures
when viewing certain kinds of flashing
lights or patterns that are commonly
present in our daily environment.
These persons also experience
seizures while watching some kinds
of television pictures or playing
certain video games including the
use of a display system, such as
this product. Consult a physician if
you have any epileptic condition or if
you experience any of the following
symptoms while using this device:
altered vision, muscle twitching,
other involuntary movements, loss
of awareness of your surroundings,
mental confusion, and/or convulsions.

6. Immersive video, whether viewed
on a regular TV, a movie theater
screen or an VUZIX video display,
can potentially have adverse
effects on the user including motion
sickness, perceptual after effects
and disorientation, and decreased
postural stability and eye strain.
Take frequent breaks to lessen
the potential of these effects, as is
commonly suggested for other items,
such as keyboards and computer
monitors, that you may tend to fixate
or concentrate on. If your eyes show

2

signs of fatigue or dryness or if any
of the above symptoms is noted,
immediately discontinue use of this
device and do not resume using
it for at least 30 minutes after the
symptoms have subsided.

7. Permanent or temporary hearing
loss or impairment can result from
excessive volume levels emitted
from the headphones. Always adjust
the volume to a safe level BEFORE
wearing the product or headphones.

8. Always be aware of the world around
you. This product will immerse you in
realistic sights and sounds, possibly
causing you to forget about the real
world around you and the threats to
your well being and the well being
of others. DO NOT use this product
near stairs, balconies, or other things
that can be tripped over, run into,
knocked down or fallen over. This
product should only be used while
