C. Setup
1. Charge your eyeQ:
Though partially charged prior to shipment,
we recommend that you always fully
charge your eyeQ prior to use. Charging the
eyeQ does not charge your smartphone.
You will, however, be able to charge your
phone with your phone’s charging cord and
an external phone charger in your pocket
while using the eyeQ.
Insert the mini USB cable (included with
your eyeQ) into the USB port located on the
front face mount of the eyeQ and connect
the other end of the mini USB cable to a USB
power source.
The eyeQ indicator light will blink red while
charging and switch to a continuous green
when charged. After disconnecting from the
USB cable, the eyeQ will be in low power
mode as indicated by a slow blinking green
signal. eyeQ can be powered off by pressing
the silver button until it flashes red for about
2 seconds and stops flashing. A momentary
press will initiate Bluetooth pairing.

Pinch the two parallel bars on the mount
and slide in your phone. Make sure your
phone screen is facing inward then release
the pinch. When mounted correctly, the
phone’s camera should be positioned in the
upper left-hand corner area. You can keep

5. Adjust the eyeQ’s lens
Locate the lens dial underneath the
viewfinder. The lens dial is used to
adjust the inner pupillary distance for
better visual clarity and focus. Start
with the lenses at their closest spacing,
then turn the dial until you are able to
see the clearest image on the screen.
6. Use the touch pad
The eyeQ’s touch pad, the recessed square
area located at the top of your eyeQ, is the
connection between the app and your fingers
that allows you to access the apps functions
quickly. Take time to orient your fingers to
this area. For example, notice that the zoom
is controlled by left to right finger gestures
rather than up and down ones. Once you
have a feel for the motion sensing of the
touch pad, using it to control the apps digital
features will be simple.
7. Turn off your eyeQ
Hold silver power button until the indicator
light flashes red and then goes dark.

mist and light rain.

The eyeQ has a 400 mAh Li-Po rechargeable
battery capable of operating the eyeQ all day

mechanism. Lens power is optimized for
an immediate transition from direct vision
viewing to eyeQ immersive viewing, with

4. What happens if you’re using eyeQ and
your phone rings?

special moment, same as when you are at
a wedding, a recital or any live performance
you are recording. Or you can always make
a call. It is super easy to remove the phone
from the eyeQ mount to answer your phone
call or text.
5. How much does the eyeQ weigh?
Over the past two years, our engineers
worked hard on making the eyeQ light and
