There is a second mini-jack for connecting your personal head phones in the event you prefer them over the included speakers. Finally, iWear® AV920 has a mini USB connection for charging the battery and updating the firmware in the device. Note on Stereoscopic 3D iWear® AV920 is capable of displaying stereoscopic 3D images in two different ways. If the content being viewed is enabled with iWear 3D control information, iWear® AV920 will automatically be set in the proper 3D mode. If you are viewing interlaced 3D content without the iWear 3D, 3D can be enabled via the OSD controls with either L/R or R/L modes. Charging iWear® AV920 User Adjustable iWear® AV920 features many user adjustable design elements to ensure a comfortable experience. These allow you to customize iWear® AV920 for a perfect fit. Plug the charging cable into the Battery Box and the AC adaptor. LED indicator: green - charge OK red - charge low flash red - needs charging amber - charging Plugging In The following are a few examples of acceptable ways of plugging in your iWear® AV920. This will vary from system to system. Speaker Adjust Your iWear® AV920 includes flexible, removable speakers. These speakers are adjustable. Simply grasp the speaker and flex the stem into place for maximum comfort. To remove the speakers, pull them out along the inside of the temple piece. Note that the speakers are not designed to fit in your ears. 4 Nose Bridge Adjust Power/Volume Adjust Your iWear® AV920’s nose bridge is adjustable for comfort. To adjust the nose bridge grasp it and pull it away from the face of iWear® AV920. The nose bridge can be removed and inserted upside-down for additional adjustibility. To turn the unit on, press the Contol Wheel once. AccuTilt™ Viewer Adjust To turn the unit off, press the Contol Wheel for about 3 seconds or remove video and unit will automatically shut off after several minutes. To adjust volume with the OSD off, rotate the Contol Wheel. iWear® AV920 On Screen Display Vuzix’ AccuTilt™ technology allows viewer adjustment through 15 degrees to properly align the viewer with your eyes. Grasp the viewer and tilt it until the displays are comfortably aligned with your line of sight. Each temple of the viewer pivots independently for precision adjustment. 5 iWear® AV920 On Screen Display (OSD) allows access to important adjustable features such as brightness control and 2D/3D mode controls. To open the OSD, press the Control Wheel once to display the OSD Selection Menu. Rotate the Control Wheel to highlight the icon representing the parameter you wish to adjust and press the Control Wheel to select that parameter. Rotate the Control Wheel to adjust the value. When you are satisfied, press the Control Wheel to return to the OSD Selection Menu. You will see the follwing display in your iWear® AV920. OSD Icon Effect LCD Brightness Contrast Video Mode Control 2D/3D Backlight Brightness Reset to factory defaults Exit OSD To exit the OSD, select the OSD Exit icon or wait 3-5 seconds. Monoscopic 2D and Stereo 3D Modes When using stereoscopic 3D content it may be necessary to adjust the iWear® AV920 3D mode. When viewing 3D content in 2D mode it will look fuzzy on the display. If this happens, adjust viewing mode from 2D to 3D stereo mode by pressing the Contol Wheel on the Video Mode Contol 2D/3D icon in the OSD and then select one of the three options. Make sure you select the appropriate 3D mode so that each video display has the correct left and right eye information. It is recommended to use 2D mode for all non 3D content. Although you can view 2D content in 3D mode the resolution is cut in half and there will be differences in the video to each eye. Cleaning Use a soft dry cloth to clean your iWear® AV920 and its optics. Do not use liquid cleaners. Updating Your iWear® AV920 is fully field upgradable to ensure that you have the best experience possible.
