procedures, other than those specified herein may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.

vehicle.
- Do not use the Iristick.H1 while operating a vehicle.

Serial & model number
The internal serial number of the headset and pocket unit
can be read-out by connecting the Iristick. H1 to a mobile
phone and launching the Iristick Services application. This
is the serial number of the internal hardware and looks like
123456789A12x7 (pocket unit) or 123456789H12x7 (headset).
The last part of the internal serial number shows the model
number. A pocket unit has A12x as its model number and a
headset has H12x.
- It is advised to take note of the serial numbers of both
the headset and pocket unit.
The serial number
shown on the
outside of both the
headset and
pocket unit, is the
serial number of
the casing and
looks like A00000
(pocket unit – in
the middle of the
top surface) and
H00000 (headset -
on top or bottom,
next to the
heads-up display).
The serial number may contain a trailing letter (e. g. 'A') to

Phone
Phone compatibility
In default mode, the Iristick. H1 mirrors (with screencast)
everything visible on the screen of your connected phone
onto its heads-up display. This allows you to display any8
app installed on your phone on the heads-up display on
the headset.
The Iristick.H1 product line is compatible with most Android
mobile phones9 with at least Android 7 and a USB-C
connector with host mode enabled.
Not all applications are optimized to work with either voice
commands or the accessibility layer that the Iristick’ s
touchpad relies on to detect, highlight and click on-screen
buttons.
Please refer to the list of supported phones at our support
page at https://support.iristick.com/phones or send us an
email at [email protected].

while having the phone lifted from the surface and the
metal plate.

Software
Iristick Services app
In order to use any of the applications installed on the
phone with the Iristick.H1, it is necessary to install one very
important application. This application is called Iristick
Services and is the bridge between the hardware of the
glasses and the software on the phone.
It is designed to work out-of-the-box as it scans the screen
for clickable items and guides with highlights while
navigating with the touchpad. In addition, it mirrors the
phone’s screen onto the heads-up display with screencast,
routes the audio and processes voice commands offline.
In the settings section of this application you can change
additional settings, for example the touchpad sensitivity,
the brightness of the heads-up display and enable a
remote screen share function called Web console10, which
is known to be useful for developers and demonstrating
purposes.
Synchronizing
Upon connection with the Android device, the Iristick
Services application checks for differences in the firmware
version of the Iristick Services itself, headset and pocket
unit. If necessary, the devices will be synchronized
automatically within a minute.
Synchronizing can be recognized by the following icon in
the notification bar:
- When the Iristick. H1 gets disconnected while
synchronizing, a fail-safe recovery mechanism will be
triggered and the old firmware will be reloaded.
Please read more about Web console in the section SDK &
Development > Web console (p. 30).

Setup
Please follow the steps below to set up the Iristick Services.

Start Iristick Services and grant the permissions. You
might need to tap the red banner at the top or open
the notification drawer of the phone and tap the
notification.
The 'Accessibility Service' permission allows the
usage of the touchpad to select items on the screen.
The ‘Display over other apps’ permission allows us to
highlight the selected buttons for easy navigation.
- Some permissions might need to be allowed again
after an update of the Iristick Services.
Connect the phone to the pocket unit via USB-C by
sliding it down on the soft surface. The phone will stick
magnetically to the surface of the pocket unit, thanks
to the metal plate12.

on the phone to allow ‘Iristick Services will start

screen.’ to activate the heads-up display. This mirrors
the phone’s screen onto the heads-up display.
- You might find it useful to check the checkbox ‘Don’t
show again’ to automatically mirror the screen upon
connection.
- This notification looks different on Android 10 and
higher. Also, the checkbox 'Don't show again' has been
removed.
By the LED on the pocket unit:
The LED on the pocket unit is dark blue if only the
pocket unit is connected to the phone and initialized
properly by the Iristick Services.
It will turn bright blue when the headset is also
connected.
