Transportation:
Jordy comes with a convenient carrying case and control
console pouch for transport. To prevent the unit from being
accidentally dropped and damaged, always return the Jordy
to the carrying case while not in use.
This product can be used as a portable device but it is
recommended you do not operate Jordy while walking,
running or driving because objects can appear closer than
they are. Please use care when connecting/disconnecting
cables and accessories or mounting the product in the
optional docking station.
Care & Maintenance:
Always turn the power OFF on the Jordy when the system is
not in use via the Green Power button located on the
underside of the device.
If needed, clean the surface of the Jordy with a soft slightly
damp cloth or an electrostatic dusting wipe. DO NOT use
liquid cleaners on the plastic surfaces. No additional methods
of sterilization or cleaning are recommended or required.
IMPORTANT: Always make sure your Jordy viewing
screen, lens and front of Jordy optics are cleaned with the
lens cloth provided. If any of these components are dirty it
may result in a blurry or fuzzy image.
Susceptibility to Interference:
There may be temporary performance degradation of the Jordy
when subjected to a strong magnetic and/or radio-frequency
field, electrostatic discharge or transient electrical noise. An
electrostatic discharge (caused by static electricity) may cause
image distortion. If this happens, switch the unit OFF and try
moving the unit to a different location.

The Adjustable Nose Piece

Step #1: ADJUSTING THE HEAD STRAPS
The head straps wrap around and over your head and are
designed to hold JORDY in place. For comfort, you should
adjust the band as necessary to fit
your head. With the camera facing
away from you, pull the small
buckle on the plastic strap anchor
to loosen the head strap. Pull the
plastic strap anchor closer to your
head to tighten. Ensure that the
three position forehead/top strap is
adjusted properly to maximize
comfort and keep Jordy stationary.
It is important to note that if the
straps are adjusted properly the
Jordy should float in front of
your eyes and there should be
no weight or discomfort on your
nose.

FORCIBLY SPREADING JORDY TEMPLE ARMS TO FIT
JORDY OVER YOUR HEAD.
1.
Back to Front Method: Place the temple arms behind
your ears and gently slide the Jordy main assembly
forward until it rests comfortably on your nose. Then
slide forehead/top strap into place that helps assist in
supporting the weight of the Jordy for maximum comfort.
2. Front to Back Method: Place the Jordy headset and
forehead/top strap comfortably on your head. Then slide
temple arms, head strap and/or head pad back until they
are resting comfortably on your head and ears. Then

the Jordy Control Console, press the GREEN power button to
turn the device ON. To turn if OFF simply press and hold the
Power button down for 5 seconds.
Step #4: ADJUSTING THE JORDY VIEWING SCREEN
You will notice that the Jordy features pivoting hinges with tilt
that will allow you to adjust and modify the viewing angle of the
Jordy display screens. This gives a high degree of flexibility
when adjusting your viewing angle while Jordy is placed on
your head. With your fingers clear of the hinges try tilting Jordy
up and down to ensure that you can see the screen as much as
possible.
