MW10 is a scotopic vision eyeglass-type wearable device, developed to aid the vision
in low-light places. It amplifies light in dim places and shows an image as a bright pic-
ture.
By using MW10, wearers can see objects brightly, even in dark places. Because of
the device’ s characteristics, however, there are limitations: the viewing experience
may differ from when seeing things directly with the eye. Please pay full attention to
ensuring safety when using the device.
1. Operation of the controller
It is dangerous to operate the device while you are moving from one place to anoth-
er, so stop and stand still before operating. We recommend that you place the con-
troller inside a pocket or a bag, and keep your hands free while you move.
2. Characteristics of the visual field
You may experience narrowing of the visual field when you wear MW10. Be especial-
ly careful if you go down the staircase, for example. Conversely, if you use a wide-an-
gle camera lens, the visual field may become wider. Please pay attention since a sense
of distance differs sharply from when not wearing the device.
3. Images captured by a camera, and real images
MW10 lets you see images shot with a camera, and real images shown through a
see-through display. You can see images shot with a camera in dark places, and you
can also see real images shown through a see-through display in bright places. Even
if you are in the dark, illuminants such as traffic signals and vehicle headlights can be
seen as real images shown from a see-through display.
4.Time lags
Images shot with MW10’ s camera are shown with a slight time lag. Make sure to
move more slowly than usual, keeping in mind that you are not seeing the images
instantly as they appear while you move.
5. Precautions when using MW10
When using the device, remember to take a rest regularly from time to time. Using
MW10 for extended periods may cause eye strain. If a feeling of fatigue and/or dis-
comfort persists even though you take a rest, discontinue use.

Types of camera lens
Standard camera lens (captures real images in the same size/magnification)
The camera lens is exchangeable, and comes in two types.
Please use the type to suit your purpose.
The length differs for each type.
It may be helpful to remember that the shorter lens is
“standard,” and the longer lens is “wide-angle.”
Wide-Angle
Standard
Wide-angle camera lens (captures images covering a wider range)
The real image and the displayed image can be seen in almost the same size
and magnification, so it is easy to grasp a sense of distance with this type of a
camera lens.
(The visual field becomes narrower than with wide-angle lens.)
１
２
A camera lens that captures images covering a broad range. Since the size of
the monitor screen remains unchanged, the image feels smaller than the one
shown with a standard camera lens (same size/magnification), and the sense of
distance feels greater. Because of this, however, the lens can capture images
covering a wider range.
Horizontal angle 27 degrees (maximum)
Horizontal angle 142 degrees (maximum)

*There is a risk that the camera lenses may slip and fall from your hands when exchanging them.
To avoid this, do it on the table.
*Exchange the camera lenses with the power turned off.
Exchanging the camera lens
(preparation before starting up the device)
１
The camera lens attached to MW10’ s headset is exchangeable. Remove
the already attached lens by rotating it in a counter-clockwise direction
(left) as seen from the front, as if turning a screw, and secure the new lens
in place by rotating it in a clockwise direction (right).
Use both fingers to hold the
middle of the headset.
Pick up the camera lens with your
fingers, turn it in a counter-clockwise
direction, and remove it.
When exchanging the camera
lens, be careful not to drop
each lens, and make sure not
to get the sensor dirty.
To replace with the new camera
lens, turn it in a clockwise direction,
and provisionally secure it in place,
slightly loosely. After starting up the
device, adjust the focus while
checking the monitor screen.

How to read the LED indicator
＊We recommend that, about once a month or so, you continue to use the battery
until it runs out, and charge it fully.
The LED indicator lights up when power is turned on, or while the
battery is being charged. The lighting or blinking of the LED lets you
confirm the residual battery quantity that can be used as a reference.
The battery lasts approximately for 4 hours. This may vary, depending
on the environment in which the device is used.
The battery deteriorates if used for long hours.

◆Operation Button
Press the Power Button for 3 seconds or more.
■If you turn the power on, the Power Button and the LED indicator either
blink or light up.
■If you turn the power on, the device starts up, and the startup screen is
displayed on the headset. Once the startup is completed, a camera-captured
image is displayed. Please wait about 1 minute until the startup is completed.

2. Wearing the device
In a bright, light place, hold the headset’ s temples with both
hands, and put on the device slowly from the front while fitting
it along the contour of your face.
■Be careful not to poke the eye or the face with the temple tip.
■Never apply excess force to the headset or open the temple outwards by
force, as this may cause the device to break.
Adjust the focus of the camera lens that had been provisionally
secured in place.
The camera lens that had been exchanged and provisionally
secured in place may be out of focus if it is not adjusted. Pick
up the camera lens with your fingers and, while turning it left
and right, finely adjust the focus.

Adjust the position of the headset to make sure that the images displayed can be
seen properly.
■With a standard camera lens Adjust the headset up and down so that an object
placed 1.5 meters ahead of your toes is displayed in its original size (equal
magnification) and can be seen easily. Hold the headset in place with an eyeglass
holder strap.
■While in a safe place, look at the camera-captured image displayed on the
monitor screen, get used to scotopic vision, then use the device. It is dangerous to
use the device before you have become fully accustomed to scotopic vision.

If you turn on the switch once again, you’ ll find that the camera is still
in the mode that was last selected. The mode does not switch
automatically, even if the camera lens is exchanged. In this case, re-select
the angle-of-view mode suited to the camera lens once again.

◆Operation button
The images displayed on the monitor screen can be enlarged or reduced.
Note, however, that the range of vision differs between a standard
camera lens and a wide-angle camera lens. So, even though the numerical
figures (magnification) are the same, the way the images are seen differs.
Please keep this difference in mind when you change the magnification.
To ensure safety, all change operations must be done while standing still.

( “adjustment of the photometric mode” )
“Adjustment of the photometric mode” is a function that adjusts an object’ s
quantity of light and makes corrections to realize optimal vision. By pressing
Button A briefly, you can select the way things are seen from two different
modes.
(Example)
An image shown on the screen
(Example)
Inside a room with a fluorescent light turned on
By pressing Button A briefly, you can switch to either the Average mode or Spot mode.
