Cautions and Warnings
CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
AC Adapter Safety
Failure to take the following precautions can result in serious injury or death from electric shock or
fire or in damage to the device. To select an appropriate power source for your HoloLens 2:
• Use only the power supply unit and AC power cord that was provided with your HoloLens
2.
• Do not use non-standard power sources, such as generators or inverters, even if the
voltage and frequency appear acceptable. Only use AC power provided by a standard wall
outlet.
• Do not overload your wall outlet, extension cord, power strip, or other electrical
receptacle. Confirm that they are rated to handle the total current (in amps [A]) drawn by
the HoloLens 2 (indicated on the power supply unit) and any other devices that are on the
same circuit.
On devices where the AC prongs may be folded for storage, before plugging the AC adapter into a
power outlet, make sure its prongs are fully extended. On devices where the AC prongs are
removable and where the power supply uses a universal adapter, before plugging the AC adapter
into a power outlet, make sure the prong assembly is of the proper configuration for the power
outlet and fully seated into the adapter.
Battery Safety
The HoloLens 2 contains a 9V at 2A built-in battery. The battery in the HoloLens 2 is not user
replaceable. Improper use or disposal of the battery may result in explosion.
Do not heat, open, puncture, mutilate, or dispose of the product in fire.
Do not leave the HoloLens 2 in direct sunlight for an extended period of time. Extreme sunlight
exposure can cause battery damage.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, posted and can include
fueling areas such as:
• Below decks on boats
• Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities
• Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain dust or metal powders
In fueling areas, sparks can occur and cause an explosion or fire. When you are in a fueling area, turn
off your HoloLens 2 and do not remove or install battery chargers, AC adapters, or any other
accessory.

Cautions and Warnings

CAEVimedixAR
Heat Related Concerns
The HoloLens 2 may become very warm during normal use. HoloLens 2 complies with the user-
accessible surface temperature limits defined by the International Standard for Safety of Information
Technology Equipment (IEC 60950-1).
To reduce heat related concerns, follow these guidelines:
• Allow for adequate air circulation under and around the device.
• Use caution when operating your device with a pillow, blanket, hat or other soft material
contacting the device because the material can block the airflow which may result in the
device overheating.
• If your device gets uncomfortably warm, remove it and allow it to cool.
Photo Sensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images,
including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in virtual environments.
The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions:
• Use the HoloLens 2 in a well-lit room.
• Do not use HoloLens 2 when you are drowsy or fatigued.
• If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor
before using HoloLens 2.
Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that
can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching virtual simulations.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including light-headedness, altered vision, eye or
face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of
awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from
falling down or striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop using the HoloLens 2 and consult a doctor if you experience any of these
symptoms.

Cautions and Warnings
Skin Irritation
The HoloLens 2 is made of materials commonly used in wearable consumer electronic devices.
However, certain people may develop skin irritation due to allergies or sensitivities.
To reduce the risk of skin irritation:
• Wipe your device dry with a cloth if it gets wet.
• Avoid using lotions or other products under the portions of HoloLens that contact your
head.
• Do not wear over injured skin.
• Adjust the headband only until snug – avoid tightening the headband uncomfortably.
• If your skin becomes irritated, stop using the HoloLens 2 device.
• If symptoms are severe or persist, consult your physician.

Introduction
INTRODUCTION
Prior to beginning setup, it is important to understand some basic concepts and environmental
considerations to ensure a safe and productive learning experience.
Using Gestures
The Microsoft HoloLens 2 utilizes several gestures that users should become familiar with to properly
operate the device. This section will explain these gestures to help orient yourself in using the
Hololens 2.
The Gesture Frame
HoloLens 2 has sensors that can see a few feet to either side of the user. When gestures are used,
they must be kept inside that frame for HoloLens 2 to detect them. As the user moves around, the
frame moves with them. When the user’s hand is inside the frame, the cursor will look like a ring.
When HoloLens 2 cannot see the user’s hand, the cursor changes to a dot.
Gesture Frame
Summon Menu Gesture
The Summon Menu gesture, also referred to as the Start gesture, is used to open the Start menu and
navigation menus. If a user is uncertain of what to do, the Summon Menu gesture is a good way to
get reoriented.

Introduction
10 ©2020 CAE 905K803052
CAEVimedixAR
To summon the Start menu or navigation menu:
1. Hold out your hand with your palm facing you.
2. You will see a wrist button appear over your inner wrist. Tap this wrist button using your
other hand.
Wrist Button
3. The Start menu or navigation menu will open.
4. To close the menu, repeat the Summon Menu gesture while the Start menu is open. You
can also look at the Start menu and say, “Close”.

Introduction
5. You can also open the Start menu with only one hand by using the Summon Menu gesture
and Gaze at the wrist button. Pinch your thumb and index finger together while keeping
your eye on the wrist button.
Gaze at Wrist Button then Pinch
Note: This applies to all menus. Each time you need to open a menu, use the Summon Menu
gesture. This gesture is shown at the following link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/hololens/
hololens2-basic-usage
Gaze
Gaze can be used to move the cursor and highlight apps and other holograms for selection. The
cursor follows whole head movements as opposed to simple movement of the eyes.

Introduction
12 ©2020 CAE 905K803052
CAEVimedixAR
Holograms are highlighted when they are available to be selected.
Gaze
Air Tap Gesture
Use Air Tap along with Gaze to select apps and other holograms.
To use Air Tap:
1. Gaze at a hologram.
2. Hold your hand straight out in front of you in a loose fist.
3. Point your index finger straight up toward the ceiling.
4. Point your thumb straight out, forming an “L” with your index finger.

Introduction
5. Keep your elbow low and comfortable.
Air Tap
6. Tap your finger down, then quickly raise it back up again.
Air Tap and Hold Gesture
To Air Tap and hold, start with an Air Tap but hold your finger down instead of raising it back up. This
is also referred to as a pinch.
Use Air Tap and hold to:
•Drag: Air Tap and hold on an icon, window, or 3D hologram then slowly move your hand
up and down or side to side to drag it to the desired location.
•Pin, unpin, or uninstall an app: Air Tap and hold the app icon in the Start menu or in the
All apps menu, then Air Tap pin, unpin, or uninstall. Air Tap again to pin or unpin it to the
desired location, or Air Tap uninstall to uninstall the app.
•Move an app: On the app bar, Air Tap and hold on the app. Continue gazing at the app
window, then move your hand to position the app.
Hand Ray Gesture
The hand ray gesture allows you to interact with holograms or menus out of reach, also known as far
field manipulation. It is used to interact with menus and content in the application.

Introduction
14 ©2020 CAE 905K803052
CAEVimedixAR
To use the hand ray, place your palm forward facing you with your elbow relaxed, and draw an
imaginary line from your shoulder to your palm. As the hand ray moves over objects, a white line will
appear between your index finger and thumb, and the cursor in the application. When the line is
white, you can interact with the object in the distance by performing an Air Tap.
Hand Ray Gesture
Note: To show or hide hand rays, say “Hide hand rays” or “Show hand rays”.
Use Air Tap to perform the following actions with hand ray:
•Scroll: On the app bar, select the Scroll Tool. Air Tap and hold until the tool appears, then
slowly move your hand up and down or side to side. To scroll faster, move your hand
