Requirement and Compatibility Notations

• A “host device” is the device used to process and/or serve audio/video content to

the eyewear. Typical examples include a personal computer or mobile device

such as a smartphone or tablet.

• The Wrap 1200DX has been demonstrated to work with a broad array of

devices that incorporate HDMI technology. Compatibility with all devices,

cables and content cannot be guaranteed.

• Only High Speed HDMI® Cables should be used with this product. Ethernet

compatibility is not required.

• A USB power source providing 0.5 Amps or greater is required. A 1.0 Amp

power source is recommended.

• Some mobile devices enable connection to HDMI displays through an MHL

(Mobile High-Definition Link) port using an MHL Adapter. The WRAP

1200DX supports audio and video display with MHL Adapter equipped

devices. Due to the power requirements of some MHL Adapters, a continuous

connection to a power source may be required.

This section of the guide leads you through the installation and connection of your

WRAP 1200DX eyewear to a variety of host devices. Some adaptation may be

required for some devices.

• The Wrap 1200DX is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery in the

Controller. The eyewear’s runtime varies dependent upon the power demands

of the video, screen brightness and other factors including the charge level of the

Controller’s battery.

Prior to First Use

• Prior to using the Wrap 1200DX its battery must charged for a minimum of

four (4) hours, using a USB power supply providing a minimum of 0.5 Amps

(charger not included).

Charging

• The Wrap 1200DX’s Controller can be charged using a USB charger plugged

into an electrical outlet or another USB power source, such as a USB port on a

computer, as long as it provides 0.5 Amps or greater.

The USB cable provided with your eyewear has two different connectors, a small

Mini-B connector (left) and a standard Type A (right) as illustrated below.

! Plug the Mini-B connector into the USB port on the Controller and the Type A

connector into the USB power source.

Some HDMI connections require significant power. For continuous use of the eyewear over extended periods, you may have to maintain a connection to the USB charger.

A USB power supply providing 1.0 Amps or greater is recommended.

! Allow the Controller to charge for a minimum of 4 hours prior to its first use.

Earphones

Be sure to adjust the volume to a safe and comfortable level before inserting the

earphones into your ears. The volume is controlled through the “+” (plus) and

“–” (minus) buttons on the Controller.

! Plug the stereo earphones into the jacks above each of the eyewear displays.

The noise-isolating earphones are not required for the proper operation of the

eyewear. Unplug the earphones if you prefer to use an alternate speaker system.

• The Controller provides a HDMI and a USB port plus four control buttons and

an indicator light.

! Use the HDMI cable provided, or an alternate High Speed HDMI® Cable, to

connect the eyewear’s Controller an HDMI equipped host device.

HDMI

USB

Windows based PCs automatically detect new speaker connections and reconfigure the audio output to be played through them. If you wish to use an alternate speaker system, select the desired speakers through the Windows

Control panel.

Additional adapters or cables may be required for your installation.

Cables not certified as High Speed HDMI® Cables and may not provide the same level of performance and/or compatibility.

Power On/Off

! Press the “Power & Menu” button to turn the eyewear on.

! Press and hold the “Power & Menu” button to turn the eyewear off.

! Press the “Power & Menu” button again to display the OSD (On Screen Display)

If no video signal is detected for a period exceeding 30 seconds, the eyewear display

will turn off to conserve power.

Video Display

The WRAP 1200DX does not require any configuration for displaying 2D video

from most devices providing HDMI technology.

Computer connections may require additional configuration to enable the eyewear

to function as an external monitor, displaying a duplicate image to that shown on

the primary computer monitor.

If your computer does not automatically configure itself to display its video on both

its primary monitor and the eyewear, adjust its video display settings as follows:

• Multiple Displays: Duplicate or mirrored display

• Resolution: One of the following resolutions

1152 x 648

1280 x 720 (720p)

1600 x 900

1920 x 1080 (1080p)

Power

& Menu

Other resolutions may be available on your computer system but may not display in the

proper aspect ratio.
