sharply rom corner to corner.
• Do not use the device i you are tired, intoxicated, dizzy, nauseous or in a public place. See the
Health and Safety section or urther reading.
Connecting to Media
To connect to a device to watch video, use the included blue HDMI cable by plugging the small, micro
HDMI end into the le t ear can and the other HDMI end into your playback device.
Devices that support HDMI output signals o 720p can be used. Most devices that are designed to be
connected to HDTVs and monitors typically will automatically switch output signals rom 1080p to 720p
depending upon what they are connected to. Please consult your device’s user manual to be sure.
Most mobile devices other than PCs will require an adapter. For most o the current iOS devices, an
Apple Lightning to HDMI adapter is necessary or connection. For most Android smartphones that
support HDMI out, an MHL to HDMI or SlimPort to HDMI adapter will be required. Please consult your
device’s user manual to be sure, or check the compatibility chart at avegant.com/set-up-support.
Turn on the headset and start playing your content. You might ind it necessary to ine-tune your it and
optical adjustments during the irst ew minutes o use.

12
To use headphone audio mode, turn o the device and plug an audio cable into the 3.5mm jack
between the power switch and the HDMI port. Make sure to retract the lenses and use the rubber
nosepiece insert and lens cover. Volume can be controlled on the playback device or with an optional
audio cable with in-line volume controls. Since the unit is o , you can use it as headphones without
worrying about battery power. When you are ready to go back to video mode, re-insert the nose pad
you use or video and extend the lenses using the lens release button at the top o the optical unit.
Make sure that both lenses are extended.
Supported 3D Media
Two types o 3D media are currently supported on the device:
Half Frame Side-by-Side 3D
Use the top button on the le t ear can to enable stereoscopic hal - rame side by side 3D mode. This
mode takes standard 1280 x 720 content and stretches it to ill both screens. No special source is
required, however the content must be ormatted to appear side-by-side when viewing through a
standard screen.
Full Frame Side-by-Side 3D
Full rame stereoscopic 3D (or rame packed 3D) is also supported and automatically recognized by the
hardware. This mode automatically handshakes and displays when the HDMI cable is plugged into a 3D
source and 3D content is played; no special button press is required and the hal - rame 3D button is
disabled in this mode.

13
It is important to remember that a suitable 3D rame-packed source is required in order to properly
receive stereoscopic content. Both the Playstation 4 and Windows 10-based PCs with recent NVidia
GPUs can output rame-packed 3D; consult Avegant’s orums or support or speci ic content sources.
Supported Uses of 360 (Headtracking) Mode
360 or headtracking mode can be used currently in the ollowing ways:
a) Control o the camera gimbal with FPV or DJI Inspire 1, Phantom 4, and Phantom 3 Pro and
Advanced with optional HDMI output module. See Avegant.com or details.
b) Most o the popular irst-person shooter PC games which take a mouse input, such as Doom and
Overwatch.
Headtracking must be currently be operated over USB. To enable the unctionality, connect the headset
to the source over USB and press the lower le t button on the le t ear can or two seconds to cycle

Troubleshooting
Problem
Solution
I cannot produce a com ortable it on my nose, what should
I do?
A number o di erent nosepieces are included in the
accessory box. Try them all and ind one that its best. The
nosepieces have a magnet catch and can be removed by
pushing downward in the opposite direction rom the
nosepiece adjustment knob.
I the device reezes up, how do I reset the HW? Turn the device o then on by switching the power switch to
the bottom position and lipping it back up to middle
position.
I am plugged into an HDMI source but all I see is the de ault
screen, what should I do?
Turn o the unit and unplug the HDMI cable. Check your
HDMI source to make sure it’s output is set to 720p. Most
HDMI devices should automatically sense that the device is
720p and set itsel accordingly, but in case it does not, you
may want to check the display settings or turn the device o
and then on again. Then plug the HDMI cable back in, turn
the power on and check your screen.
Part o the screen seems to be cut o , or the corners o the
screen seem to be cut o : What should I do?
The picture may not be converged properly. Make sure the
device is itted properly to your head. The nose bridge
should it and secure on the top bridge o your nose and the
lenses should be very close to your eye so that your
eyelashes almost touch. Turn on the test screen by pressing
the test screen button on the ront side o the right ear can,
then using the IPD slider adjustments, converge the screen
image so that you see one rectangular screen with square
edges. Finally, closing one eye at a time turn the diopter
ocusing adjustments to see a sharp image.
I can see the video, but there is no sound; What should I
do?
Check your volume control by pressing the top button on the

side-by-side images on the screen; What should I do?
You need to turn on the 3D mode by pressing and holding the
3D mode button, which is the top button on the le t ear can,
or 2 seconds. You should see the change rom two side by
side images to one 3D image right away. Release the Mute
button and press it again i the audio is muted.
The device is non-responsive and the LED is red. What
should I do?
There is a device irmware error. You should shut the device
o and check the battery level. I the LED is red, recharge the

be able to merely point the two towers into the receptacle
and gently push it back into place
I cannot insert a 3.5mm audio cable into the 3.5mm
headphone jack on the device. What is wrong?
The housing around the plug may be too large to it into the
recessed audio jack. You should ind a 3.5mm audio cable
which has a slim, cylindrical housing around one o the
plugs.
I would like to use the headset as a pair o audio-only
headphones. What do I do to convert it?
First remove the nosepiece by gently pushing it downward o
o the optical unit. Store the nosepiece in a sa e place where
it will not get crushed or lost. With your ingernail or edge o
your inger, gently push in the lenses until they click into the
optical unit. Attach the lens cover to the inside o the
headband covering the lenses, extend the headband to
accommodate your head and slip the device on your head
with the headband acing upward. Plug your audio cable into
the recessed 3.5mm audio input and make sure the power is
OFF. Plug the other end o the audio jack into your music
playback device and adjust volume on that
device. NOTE: The recessed audio input is designed or use
with audio cables having a slim, cylindrical housing; Use o
cables with other housings may prevent the jack rom being
ully inserted into the receptacle.
When using as a set o audio-only headphones, the volume
buttons on the ear cans do not work.
In audio-only headphone mode, the power is o so volume
must be controlled rom the playback device or with an
optional audio cable with in-line volume controls.
My unit was accidentally splashed with water; What should
I do?
Although the device is not guaranteed to be splash proo , you
may be able to keep it working by wiping the unit o with a
towel and leaving it in a warm, dry area or several hours.

second and the LED will show Red (20% or lower battery le t),
Yellow (20%-80% battery le t) or Green (80% or more battery
le t).
My unit beeps and shows a red screen or a screen with a
low battery icon; What does it mean?
It means your battery is running low. Your device will shut
down automatically when the battery gets very low.
