2 Vuzix 425PB0001-01 Setting up your M100 Charging the M100 smart glasses Before turning on your smart glasses for the first time charge it fully. Connect the charge cable to the micro USB connector at the end of the M100. Use a standard USB charger and plug the USB cable into its USB connector. Plug the charger into a standard AC wall outlet or if you are using USB from your computer, turn your computer on. The M100 turns on and indicates its charge state with the white LED flashing if charging. When charging is complete the white LED will be remain solid, disconnect the micro USB cable from the M100 and remove the USB charger from the AC wall outlet or remove the cable from your computer. Indicators if the M100 is not connected to a power source: - If the M100 is powered off and not connected to an external charger, there are no LEDs lit. - If the M100 is powered on, but is not connected to an external power source, and has a low battery, the blue led flashes 3 times every 5 seconds and a low battery indicator appears on the display in the eye piece. Indicators if the M100 is connected to a power source: - The white led on the device will pulse every 2 seconds until fully charged. - The white led will remain solid when the M100 is fully charged and plugged into a power source. - If the M100 is powered on, the user can fully operate the device even when it is connected to an external power source. Head band Assembly The M100 has a universal mount built into the main body and is designed around the audio speaker. This mount will connect to many different head worn options. The M100 ships with an “over the head” mounting option and a “safety glasses” mounting option. To assemble the over the head mounting option to the M100, push the head band mounting ring 4 onto the universal mount 3 on the main body of the M100. This will require a fair amount of force as this is a tight fitting connection. Once secured, the ear bud 5 is then slid onto the ring edge on the outside rim of the mounting arm 4.

Ear bud Congratulations, your smart glasses are now ready to be adjusted to fit your specifications. Fitting your M100 Now that your smart glasses are assembled you can begin fitting them to your particular needs. There are many adjustments that can be made to get the best performance and fitting for each user. Your M100 has been designed to work with or without glasses and can accommodate either left or right eye users. This section describes all of the adjustments available to accommodate this and the varied ergonomics of different users from around the world. As can be seen in the figure below, the ear bud can be rotated anywhere in a 360 degree circle about the mount ring of the headband adjusting the offset of the M100 body around the users ear canal. The head band also itself retracts and expands into the mounting arm, adjusting for different head sizes. M100 smart glasses - headband mount Ear bud rotation and headband retraction
4 Vuzix 425PB0001-01 As shown below, the entire headband also rotates around the universal mount which will allow for different positions of the head band over the users head. This movement also allows the eye piece to be positioned up and down in the user’s field of vision. Once the head band has been optimally adjusted, we turn our attention to the eyepiece. As shown above, the eye piece can be tilted towards the eye by as much as plus or minus 15 degrees from center. This allows for the optimum placement of the display eye piece in your vision field from low near the cheek to high near the eyebrow while allowing the eyepiece to be tilted towards the user’s eye. Eye piece tilt
5 Vuzix 425PB0001-01 The adjustability of the eye piece arm has been designed to accommodate users with or without prescription eye glasses. To accommodate this and to place the eyepiece left to right in front of the user, the eye piece arm bends as shown and slides in and out of the M100 body. These adjustments allow the eye piece to be positioned comfortably in front of the user’s eye even while using prescription glasses. It is important to note that there is no focus required for the M100. The M100’s optics has been designed so that the image appears, from a focus perspective, to be about 10 feet away. For this reason only users that need glasses for distance vision will need their glasses while using the M100. Users with presbyopia, or that need reading glasses, will not need them to operate the M100. Finally, it is well known that users have an eye preference that is tied to their eye dominance. For this reason, the M100 has been designed to be used in either left or right eye configurations. To use the M100 on either eye, simply rotate the body of the M100 around the headband arm mount 180 degrees. The display, camera, and other functions will automatically flip to accommodate this change. *The left eye configuration has not been enabled in this build of the M100 OS. Please visit the Vuzix website for updates. Eyepiece arm adjustment Left / Right eye configuration*

How to navigate and run applications The M100 smart glasses have several user interface modes you can employ to navigate and run applications. The M100 can be used standalone with the hardware buttons and through the gesture engine. The M100 can also be controlled through the application manager, or by other third party connected device like keyboards, mice and other human interface devices. Finally, the M100 can also be controlled remotely under software control from the cloud. Hardware and Gesture Engine* The M100 smart glasses have a built in gesture sensor that looks out from the body of the smart glasses into the real world. This sensor is always on so if the M100 is sleeping when it detects a motion past the front of the sensor the M100 wakes up in preparation for action. The sensor recognizes hand/finger motions forward and back, up and down, and in and out. These functions have been mapped to the Android OS to allow the basic D pad functions enabling motion around the desktop and selecting applications to execute. *The gesture engine has not been enabled in this build of the M100 OS. Please visit the Vuzix website periodically for updates as this functionality is enabled.
9 Vuzix 425PB0001-01 Physical buttons on the M100 The four physical buttons on the M100 can also be used to interface with the M100. At the desktop the volume up and down button navigates around your various application icons. The back/select button runs and/or exits from an application. Natively these buttons are used like the standard android buttons on a phone; volume up and down, home and the power button. Any given application can remap these buttons as desired.

See above for more information. PowerPak 3800 Because Vuzix anticipates that Enterprise users will want to perform heavy duty tasks with longer running time applications, the M100 comes equipped with a 3800 mAh battery that can extends its run time 6.5 times that of the base battery in the M100. Please ensure to fully charge the PowerPak 3800 before using it. The battery is connected to the M100 through a light weight USB cable. The cable that ships with the M100 is designed for right eye dominant users (although it can be used for either). Custom left eye cables will be available on the Vuzix web site. 1.
