Introduction
Thank you for purchasing your EDTracker Pro Wireless head tracker. We hope that
it becomes an invaluable addion to your gaming experience and that you enjoy
using it.
EDTracker uses solid-state electronic components to monitor and measure your
head movement and report this informaon to your computer as a USB game
controller. These components are incredibly sensive and accurate, giving you a
level of responsiveness previously unavailable at this price.
While we appreciate you are probably eager to get started using your device, we
urge you to pay a(enon to these instrucons – in parcular, the secon around
calibraon of your device. This step is essenal to guarantee good performance
of your device.

♦ Navigate to the EDTracker website (www.edtracker.co.uk/support/
downloads)
♦ Download the EDTracker Pro so,ware
♦ Once downloaded, run the so,ware installaon by double-clicking on the
file. Alternavely, if you are asked whether you wish to “Run” or “Save” the
file, choose Run.
♦ Follow the on-screen steps to install the so,ware on your PC
To run the so,ware, click the EDTrackerPro item in your start menu, or doubleclick the EDTrackerPro desktop icon.
Attaching to Headset
The device should be firmly a(ached onto your headphones or headset using the
adhesive Velcro pads provided.
Avoid a(aching the device onto the side earcups of headphones wherever
possible. Some headphones uses strong magnets within the earcups that can affect
the performance of the device.
If your headset has a moveable microphone, ensure it is kept away from the
EDTracker during use.
EDTracker User Interface
The EDTracker UI so,ware can be used to monitor and calibrate your device, change
the behaviour to suit your preferences and configure the wireless connecon.
Profiles
You can save the current EDTracker seHngs into profiles, and load these again in the
future for ease of use. This enables you to set up profiles for mulple games, and
load them quickly and easily.
Click the “Profile” menu to create a new profile, save the current seHngs to a profile
or load an exisng profile.
EDTracker Settings
This secon of the UI is used to change the head tracking behaviour of the device.
Yaw/Pitch/Roll Scaling
Changing the sliding bars (or changing the number values) adjusts the sensivity of
the device on the corresponding axis.
A low value (e.g. 1.0) requires more physical movement of your head to provide ingame movement. A high value increases the scaling effect. In-game movement will
be amplified. This reduces the amount of real-world head movement necessary.
Scaling values are highly dependent on your setup : the size of your PC screen, the
distance you sit from the screen and your own personal preferences. The default
values are a general recommendaon. Experimentaon with different values is to be
expected.
To individually change scaling axes, click the “Unlock Scaling” control.
Smoothing
EDTracker Pro is very sensive and can pick up the niest of vibraons and movement. If you use high scaling values, you may experience wobbling of the 3D head
because of the very fine movements of your own head in the real world.
Smoothing can be used to reduce unintenonal movement, if you find it too sensive. Increase the smoothing value to reduce any fine vibraons from the output.
Response Mode
Two response modes are available; linear and exponenal. Your choice of response mode is down to personal preference.
When using EDTracker in conjuncon with 3rd party head tracking so,ware, we
recommend the LINEAR response mode seHng.
Mounting Orientation
You must set this value to match how you have a(ached the EDTracker device to
your headset. We advise you to place EDTracker on the top of your headset, with
the USB port to one side. Choose the corresponding orientaon in the UI.
WARNING : If the Mounng Orientaon seHng does not match the actual device
orientaon, strange behaviour may occur!
Recenter Hotkey
Bind a key or joysck bu(on that can be used to re-center your view. This effect is
the same as click the “Reset View” bu(on (see secon 3.2.8 below).
Toggle Hotkey
Bind a key or joysck bu(on to toggle head track on or off
Head Display
When the device is acve and paired with your PC, the 3D head will show a graphical
representaon of your head movement.
Set Level
Before use, EDTracker must establish what “flat and level” is. To do this, the device
automacally calibrates during the first 10 seconds a,er being switched on. During
this period the device must be kept flat and moonless.
If you need to re-do the calibraon, click the Set Level bu(on. The LED status
indicator on the device will flash rapidly. Keep the device flat and sll for
approximately 10 seconds unl the calibraon has completed and the LED status
indicator stops flashing rapidly.
Reset View
Click the Reset View bu(on to re-centre your view to the current posion. The
current posion of the EDTracker will be set to “looking straight ahead”.
Options
Allows you to change preferences around the UI so,ware.
♦ Start Minimised – automacally minimise the UI to the system tray upon
startup
♦ Autorun Program – automacally start another (3rd party) program when
EDTracker UI starts (e.g. Opentrack, FaceTrackNoIR, FreeTrack)
Wireless Setup
In order for your EDTracker Pro Wireless to communicate with the EDTracker
Wireless Dongle, the two devices must first be “paired”. Pairing establishes a
unique link between the devices.
You can select one of 28 different wireless channels to use. From the factory, the
device will use channel 1. You can change the device to another channel if
required.
During normal operaon, the number of illuminated bars on the wireless graphic
relates to the quality of the signal. 3 bars indicates excellent quality, down to 1 bar
showing reduced performance.
If wireless communicaons between the dongle and the EDTracker Pro Wireless
are lost altogether, or the pairing between the device is lost, the graphic will show
an exclamaon mark (!) to indicate the loss of communicaon.
Establishing a new pairing
1. Turn off the EDTracker Pro Wireless and ensure it is not plugged in to a USB
power source
2. Insert the EDTracker Wireless Dongle into your PC
3. Turn on the EDTracker Pro Wireless device
The devices should establish a pairing and the EDTracker UI so,ware will start to
register movement.
Loss of Pairing
Pairing between the devices will be lost if
♦ the EDTracker Pro Wireless unit is turned off by the switch
♦ the EDTracker Wireless Dongle is uplugged
♦ the EDTracker Wireless Dongle loses power (such as by turning off the
computer or puHng it into sleep/standby mode)
If this occurs, restore power or connecon as required and click the “Pair” bu(on in
the UI so,ware.
Pairing multiple devices
It is not possible to pair mulple EDTracker Pro Wireless devices with a single
EDTracker Wireless Dongle.
It is possible to use EDTracker Pro Wireless in the vicinity of other EDTracker wireless
devices – for example, at a LAN party. When pairing, you must ensure no other
devices are acvely trying to pair at the same me otherwise you may inadvertently
pair with another user’s device. Once paired, funconality should be normal.
In busy environments, you may need to choose an alternave wireless channel.
Calibration
EDTracker includes a component called a “magnetometer” – effecvely this works
like a magnec compass. In order to be accurate, it must be calibrated. Good
calibraon is key to geHng the best performance from your EDTracker Pro
Wireless. The start-up wizard walks you through this process, which must be done
with the EDTracker Pro mounted on you headset or headband.
The first me you use this feature an animaon will be displayed, showing you a
suitable way to rotate the device to obtain a good calibraon. Once the minimum
number of samples has been collected, the “Save Calibraon” bu(on will be
enabled. Clicking this bu(on will complete the calibraon and display the results.
The results should show a collecon of green dots arranged in a spherical shape.
Some minor distoron is acceptable but if the results do not look roughly
spherical, please re-a(empt the calibraon.
The calibraon is stored in the memory of the device and does not need to be
repeated, even a,er switching off the device.
If you change your headset or gaming environment you may need to perform a
fresh magnetometer calibraon. You can either re-run the set-up wizard via the
Help menu or click on the “Magnetometer” tab in the UI and click “Start
Calibraon”.

Power & Charging
The EDTracker Pro Wireless device has an internal ba(ery which, when fully
charged, should provide power for at least 8 hours connuous use (typically more).
To recharge the device, simply connect it to a USB power source such as a spare port
on your computer.
The device can be charged and used at the same me.
Do not leave the device fully discharged for extended periods of me. Doing so can
reduce the ba(ery capacity. If you plan on storing the device without use, first
charge it to at least 2 bars in the ba(ery icon.
The EDTracker UI so,ware displays the ba(ery status with the following icon :
Animated Icon : Device is charging
Green Icon : Device is fully charged
Orange Icon : Device is discharging (3 levels of charge are shown)
Power Saving (Sleep Mode)
If no moon of the EDTracker Pro Wireless is detected for a period of 3 minutes or
more, the device goes into a power saving mode to conserve ba(ery. Wireless transmission is temporarily stopped. The EDTracker UI so,ware will report the device as
sleeping.
As soon as the device is moved, it will resume operaon. Very small movements may
not be enough to wake the device, so ensure the device is moved significantly.
In power saving mode, ba(ery usage is drascally reduced and a full charge can last
upwards of 2 weeks provided the unit is not moved.
For extended periods of non-use, you are advised to switch the device off using the
power switch.

mode. Move the device to wake it up.
♦ As a last resort, turn off the EDTracker Pro Wireless and unplug the dongle.
Re-insert the dongle, then turn the EDTracker Pro Wireless back on. This will
force the devices to re-pair.
Head posion is not aligned correctly
♦ Look straight ahead and click the “Reset View” bu(on in the EDTracker UI
so,ware
♦ Check the device is mounted firmly and is not moving about unintenonally
♦ Check the orientaon seHng in the EDTracker UI so,ware matches the physical orientaon of the device
♦ Device is upside down (screws must face downwards)
Head posion dris over me
♦ Re-perform the magnetometer calibraon phase, paying a(enon to the
results
♦ Ensure the device is not close to any magnec field (e.g. a(ached with magnets, close to the speakers of your headphones)
♦ If your headset has a moveable microphone, ensure it is in the same posion
as when magnetometer calibraon was performed.
13
Troublshooting (cont…)
(cont )
Magnetometer calibraon shows distorted green dots
♦ Non-spherical results indicates some form of magnec interference. Verify
the distoron goes away when calibrang the device in “free air” (ie. not
a(ached to a headset)
♦ Try to establish what is causing the interference, and remove it from the
environment. Normally magnec fields must be very close to device to
cause a problem (<5cm). In some rare cases, the headband of your headset
may be magnec.
Game is not detecng the EDTracker
♦ Check that EDTracker Pro Wireless is appearing as a joysck underneath
Windows Control Panel, USB Game Controllers
♦ Highlight the EDTracker Pro Wireless device and click “Properes”.
Movement of the device should show movement of the crosshairs in the
box.
♦ Your game should see the EDTracker Pro Wireless as a 3-axis joysck. You
may need to configure seHngs within the game to tell it which joysck to
use for head movement. Please consult your game manual, or the game
support details, for assistance.
♦ Consult the EDTracker website “Support” secon for individual game setup
hints and ps or email us at support@edtracker.co.uk .
