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 eyewears runtime varies dependent upon the power demands of the video, screen brightness and other factors including the charge level of the Controllers 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 1200DXs 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.

8

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 eyewears Controller an HDMI equipped host device.

Audio

The WRAP 1200DX is equipped with removable stereo earphones. Small, medium and large noise-isolation rings are included.

Press the plus (+) or minus (-) button on the Controller to adjust the volume.

Do not put the earphones into your ears until the audio volume has been set to a moderate and safe level.

Focal Adjustment

The focus of each eyes display can be adjusted independently from approximately +2 to -4 diopters. If this adjustment is insufficient, the eyewear can be worn over many styles of prescription eyeglasses.

Close one eye and slide the adjuster above your open eye to achieve the sharpest focus.

Repeat the process, closing the opposite eye.

Eye Separation Adjustment

This distance between your eyes, InterPupillary Distance (IPD), varies from one person to the next. If your eyes are not correctly aligned with the displays, the image may appear dark or disappear entirely. An IPD adjustment enables you to align each display with its respective eye.

Each display adjusts independently by sliding it left or right.

Close one eye and slide the display box for the other eye left or right to provide the clearest and brightest image.

Repeat the process to adjust the other display.

If an alternate audio system is used, volume controlled through that systems controls.

11

Accutilt Display Angle Adjustment

The angle of your displays can also impact their clarity. Vuzix eyewear is equipped with a patented Accutilt system that enables the display to be to be tilted up or down by up to 15 degrees.

Adjust the display angle, by rotating the up/down tilt of display module, to achieve the best quality image.

Nose Bridge

The nose bridge assembly is adjustable both in length and the angle/width of its pads.

Slide the nose pad assembly in or out to adjust the display height of your eyewear. The eyewear displays should be aligned to the same level as your eyes.

Bend the nose pad wires to adjust the pad separation and angle.

Just as is the case with prescription eyeglasses, the wire arms of the nose pads are designed for adjustment for a single user. Excessive and/or frequent adjustment or sharp bends in the wire arms may weaken and break them. Replacement nose pads are available from Vuzix.

Tether Strap

For active applications a tether strap can be used to provide a more secure fit.

Attached each end of the tether strap to the eyelets on the eyewear stems.

Adjust the strap synch for a comfortable and secure fit.

If the stem pulls completely out, simply slip it back into its slot taking care that the serrated strip faces toward you away from the eyewear display assembly.

Most HDMI devices do not require display configuration adjustment when connected to the Wrap 1200DX. Some computer systems may require adjustments to their display settings to enable the Wrap 1200DX as second or external display.

The computer must be configured to support the Wrap 1200DX as an external monitor, duplication its desktop or laptop monitor. Depending upon your operating system this configuration may be referred to as duplicate, mirrored, or clone display mode.

If the display settings do not automatically adjust to a resolution commonly supported by the desktop and eyewear monitors, it must be manually set to one of the following resolutions:

1152 x 648 1280 x 720 (720p) 1600 x 900 1920 x 1080 (1080p)

2D and 3D video is supported on all known makes and models of Windows compatible graphics cards. No additional 3D drivers are required.

3D Video

By default the eyewear supports standard 2D video. Stereoscopic 3D video support is provided for side-by-side, top/bottom and frame packed content. A compliant HDMI 3D capable source will automatically configure the eyewear for the correct 3D mode and enable 3D display. You will not be able to change the 3D settings of the eyewear when it is automatically configured in this manner.

Battery

The Controller contains a rechargeable lithium ion battery, recharged by connecting it to a USB charger (wall outlet or computer port) with an output of 1 amp or greater.

Recharging a fully depleted battery can take up to 8 hours.

The Vuzix icon on the Controller will illuminate red while the device is plugged into the charger. If the device is plugged in and turned on, the red illumination will

remain on and the blue illumination will flash indicating that the device is on and charging.

The WRAP 1200DXs nose bridge and pads are adjustable. For the best viewing experience your displays should be centered in front of your eyes. By sliding the nose bridge assemblys stem in or out of the display module you can adjust the resting height of the displays. By bending the wire nose pad arms you can address the angle and spread of the pad to achieve optimum comfort.

To adjust the nose bridge:

Slide the nose bridge assembly in and out to adjust its reach to position the eyewear displays directly in your line of sight.

If you pull the nose bridge assembly too far out it will come completely out of the display module. Don't worry if this happens as it can be easily slid back in and enables you to replace the nose bridge assembly should it be broken.

Gently bend the wire arms of the nose pad to achieve a comfortable fit with the pads face resting on the bridge of your nose in the same manner that you would adjust the nose pads on standard eyeglasses.

Gentle persuasion with a pair of needle nose pliers works best to bend the wire nose pad arms. This places the least amount of strain on the assembly and adjacent parts. The wire nose pad arms are not designed for frequent bending or sharp angles as this may weaken and break them. Replacement nose pad assemblies are available for purchase from Vuzix (www.vuzix.com).

IPD (InterPupillary Distance) is the distance separating your eyes - sometimes referred to simplify as eye-separation. IPD varies from one person to the next and when yours does not match close enough to the eyewear displays, the image in one eye or the other may darken or disappear entirely.

16

Each display adjusts independently by sliding it left or right.

To adjust the IPD:

Close one eye and slide the display box for the other eye left or right to provide the clearest and brightest image.

Repeat the process to adjust the other display.

Your WRAP 1200DX is equipped with a patented view angle adjustment called Accutilt. The mechanism allows you to rotate and tilt the display module up and down approximately 15 to achieve the best quality display.

To adjust the viewing angle:

Pivot the display assembly to achieve the best quality display.

The noise isolating earphones provided with the WRAP 1200DX are removable and the eyewear can be used with or without them attached. The earphones are interchangeable and can be used on either the left or right side.

Three sizes of noise-isolators are provided, allowing you to adjust for a secure and comfortable fit. Simply slide one noise isolator off the speaker stem and slide another on.

17

Volume adjustment for the earphones is controlled using the Adjustment Buttons on the Controller. Take care that the volume is set to a low level before inserting the earphones into your ears.

Adjustment Buttons

If you are using an alternate audio system, use that audio systems controls to adjust volume.

Windows - Lost Audio

When a Windows equipped computers detect a new speaker system they assume you want to use these new speakers and automatically configures them as the enabled speaker system. If you had been listening for audio through another sound system, it may appear that youve lost audio. The audio is still playing but Windows has redirected it to play through the eyewears earphones. Use the speaker settings in the Windows Control Panel to select another speaker system.

A tether strap or lanyard is provided for those unaccustomed to wearing glasses or who are moving around while wearing the WRAP 1200DX. The tether will help secure (but not prevent) it from falling off and possible damaged.

The ends of the tether strap loop over the hooks at the end of each eyewear stem.

18

The following items are not included with the Wrap 1200DX but may be purchased separately from Vuzix or other retailers.

The optional Vuzix Wrap Tracker (P/N: 301T00011) adds see-where-you-look capabilities to supported virtual reality games and simulation programs running on a Windows PC. This 3-DOF head tracker with compass plugs into the back of the eyewears display module and connects to a Windows based computer through the Controllers USB cable.

The Wrap Tracker is supported by a large number of games and simulation programs. A creator feature in its VR Manager software also allows you to enable many additional games with head tracker support.

Head-tracking support enables a game or simulator to be aware of your current head position direction of view for increased spacial awareness and realism. An example of head tracking in a flight simulation is its ability to alter your viewing perspective to display content in the direction of your current view and change that angle and direction as you swivel your head for see-where-you-look realism.

The Wrap tracker plugs into a small port on the Wrap 1200DX and connects to a Windows based PC through the Wrap Controllers Mini-USB port and cable. Vuzix VR Manager software is included to enable tracker calibration and add VR support in a broad number of Windows based applications.

Go to the Vuzix website for more information on the Wrap Tracker.

The optional Wrap Lightshield slips easily on and off the Wrap eyewear to enable total immersion for virtual reality applications or simply to block out light and visual distractions for viewing a movie.

Upgrade your Wrap 1200DX to VR (virtual reality) eyewear for added realism and immersion in games, flight simulators and more.

A Wrap Tracker enables see-where-you-look head tracking for supported Windows based applications and the Wrap Lightshield enhances immersion, bringing you into the game.

MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) is a standard used primarily by tablets and smartphones to provide HDMI connectivity through a smaller micro USB port. It sends the audio and video signals through the micro USB connector and converts it to a HDMI signal for use on supported devices, such Vuzix eyewear equipped with an HDMI compatible Controller. The signal remains in digital format throughout the conversion process, avoiding quality is lost.

A Micro USB to HDMI MHL Adapter enables MHL device, such as an HTC EVO 3D or Samsung Galaxy S3, to connect to HDMI enabled eyewear models for audio and all of the HDMI supported video resolutions. It also supports 3D video and HDCP media protection when used with HDMI enabled Vuzix eyewear models.

Most MHL devices require an external power source from their internal batteries, to drive the adapter and to power the eyewear. In many cases this power requirement exceeded the output of typical USB ports on a computer. Though connecting to a computers USB will charge the eyewear Controllers battery if the eyewear is not in use, it may not provide sufficient power for indefinite use. For the shortest charge time and to enable indefinite use of an MHL connected eyewear session, supply power to the MHL Adapter from the power adapter provided with your eyewear, with no other USB devices connected.

The following is a partial listing of MHL mobile devices from three popular manufacturers:

Some MHL devices may require an additional 5-pin to 11-pin Micro USB Adapter for MHL Adapter.
