Charging the HC1
CAUTION Do not place on head while charging.
CAUTION Ensure that you follow the guidelines for battery safety described in Battery Safety Guidelines on page
The battery can be charged before insertion into the HC1 or after it is installed. Use the Four-slot Battery
Charger to charge the battery (out of the HC1) or the power module to charge the battery while it is installed in
the HC1.
Before using the HC1 for the first time, fully charge the
on page 1-7 for charge status indications). The 1950 mAh battery fully charges in less than four hours and the
4800 mAh battery fully charges in less than eight hours.
The HC1 is equipped with a backup battery which automatica
When using the HC1 for the first time, the backup battery requires approximately 30 hours to fully charge. This
is also true any time the backup battery is discharged, which occurs when the main battery is removed for
several hours. When the HC1 reaches a very low battery state, the combination of main battery and backup
battery retains clock data for at least 39 hours.

Determining Dominant Eye
Eye dominance is the tendency to prefer visual input from one eye to the other. Most people are right-eye
dominant; however in a small portion of the population neither eye is dominant. It is best to use your dominant
eye when viewing the display.
To determine which eye is dominant:
1. Place hands together as shown forming a triangle.
Figure 1-8
2. Keeping both eyes open, focus on any distant object.
3. Maintaining focus on the object centered in the triangle, close your right eye. If the object is still in the
triangle, you are left eye dominant.
4. Maintaining focus on the object centered in the triangle, close your left eye. If the object is still in the
triangle, you are right eye dominant.
5. If the object is in the triangle with either eye then you are dominant eye neutral.
6. Repeat test to confirm.
Dominant Eye Test
Re-positioning the Computer/Optical Pod Assembly
From the factory, the HC1 is configured for left eye dominant. To switch the optical pod position:
1. If not already removed, press the release latches to remove the Firm Goods Assembly from the
Computer/Optical Pod Assembly.
