E-tint Ctrl mg1 User manual

cTRL®Mg1 • Owner’s manual

This e-Tint® powered goggle meets MIL-PRF-32432A. Please follow these care and usage instructions to ensure optimal performance from your eyewear.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS ACTIVATE: Turn on; tint | DEACTIVATE: Turn off; clear

The CTRL®MG1 electronic-tinting goggle changes instantly between two levels of tint (on or off) by either a quick press of the button or automatically

via the built-in light sensor. These tint levels are fixed and cannot be changed by the user. The goggle comes pre-programmed with a standard setting

for automatic mode. You can adjust the light sensitivity if you determine that it does not automatically turn on or off to your liking (see “Adjust Light

Sensitivity” below).

TO OPERATE IN MANUAL MODE:

Quickly press and release the button to activate or deactivate the tint of the goggle.

TO OPERATE IN HANDS-FREE (AUTOMATIC) MODE:

The CTRL®MG1 goggle can automatically tint in the presence of an activating light. To switch the system to automatic mode, simply press and hold

the button for approximately three (3) seconds. The lens will flash to indicate it has been switched into automatic mode. Release the button. The goggle

is now set for hands free (automatic) use.

TO EXIT HANDS-FREE (AUTO) MODE, AND ENTER MANUAL MODE:

Press the button once to go back to manual mode. Note: The lens will turn clear upon exiting automatic mode.

TO ADJUST LIGHT SENSITIVITY:

First, switch the goggle to automatic mode. Choose an ambient area of light that would be similar to where you would prefer the goggle to activate. Stand

in your desired lighting condition. Press & hold the button for about four (4) seconds. After four seconds, the lens will flash to indicate the system has

re-calibrated its sensor to your desired setting. Light that is as bright as, or brighter than, your selected ambient lighting will now trigger the sensor. The

electronics will store this custom setting until it is re-adjusted or reset to its factory setting. NOTE: Be sure to keep the area around the light sensor

clear and open to the light source. If your finger is covering the light sensor during the adjustment, the goggle will stay activated most of the time and

only switch when it is very dark. Do NOT attempt to change the light sensitivity when moving.

FOR A FACTORY RESET:

A factory reset can be performed in either manual or automatic mode. Press and hold the button for approximately six (6) seconds. The lens will cycle

through (2) sets of flashing. After the second set of flashing, the goggle will be restored to its original factory settings.

CHARGING: Connect the supplied USB cable to goggle and charge with the e-Tint®charging pack, wall adapter, or computer. The lens will tint when

charging and turn off when fully charged. A completely depleted battery will take up to two (2) hours to fully charge. Directions for use of the charging

pack are included with the charger.

CHARGING STORAGE: If the goggle will be stored for a prolonged period of time, we recommend to fully charge the battery every 2-3 months or

charge in ‘storage mode’ with the e-Tint® charging pack. Doing so will prolong and protect the capacity of the goggle battery. Directions for use of the

charging pack are included with the charger.

WARNING! IF GOGGLE, USB CABLE, OR CHARGER HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO EXCESSIVE SWEAT OR MOISTURE, ALLOW UNIT TO DRY (APPROX. 8

HRS.) BEFORE CHARGING. DO NOT STORE GOGGLE CONNECTED TO A CHARGING SOURCE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME (UNLESS IT IS

CONNECTED TO THE E-TINT®CHARGER IN STORAGE MODE).
