SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ BEFORE USING RECON JET
Jet is designed to enhance your sports and tness experience. If used improperly (e.g. when cycling without paying attention
to the road), Jet may cause you to get in an accident that could result in property damage, serious injury, or death. Always pay
attention to the road. Do not focus on Jet’s display and become distracted from your surroundings. Ride safe and have fun.
Please read and understand these warnings before using Jet. If you have any questions about how to use Jet safely, contact
Recon Customer Support at [email protected]om, or call us at 1.877.642.2486. Support hours are 6:00am to
5:30pm PST, 7 days a week.
1. Don’t get distracted. Keep your eyes on the road. Jet’s display sits just below your right eye, but that does not mean you
can stare at it and still see everything on the road. Focusing on the display may cause you to miss cars, road debris, and other
hazards, which may reduce or eliminate your ability to avoid an accident. Jet’s display and the information delivered on it
are designed for quick access. Glance at Jet’s display quickly, in the same way you would glance at your car’s dashboard or
rearview mirror, and do so only when you are sure that you are safe from traic and other hazards.
Jet displays dierent types of information than your cycling computer or other tness tracking devices. For example, Jet may
display text notications and alerts during your activity. Jet apps developed by third parties may add features like e-mail
notications, as well. Be aware that focusing on such information can compromise your safety and the safety of those around
you. Use sound judgment, and keep your attention focused on your surroundings, not Jet’s display.
Don’t let Jet’s map and navigation features distract you from the road. Those features are intended to be accessed with a
glance, not stared at or studied during your activity. Be aware of your surroundings at all times. If you need to focus on maps
or other features, stop in a safe area to ensure your safety and the safety of those around you.
2. Attention tunneling. Attention tunneling is a phenomenon whereby your brain focuses on some inputs to the exclusion
of others. For example, focusing on Jet’s display may cause your brain to ignore other inputs, such as oncoming cars, even
though your eyes may see them. Attention tunneling can cause you to miss hazards or to have delayed reaction times. Avoid
attention tunneling by keeping your focus on the road and glancing at the display quickly when you know you are safe from
cars and other hazards.
3. Increased reaction time. Viewing the display, even for a split second, may increase the time it takes to notice and react to
hazards. Only glance at the display when you are clear of traic, pedestrians, and road hazards.
4. Blind spot. Jet’s display sits slightly below your right eye so that you can glance at it easily. Be aware that the display
creates a blind spot in your eld of view. Be aware of the position of Jet’s display, and scan for hazards in order to see objects
in the blind spot.
Due to its position on the right side of the face, Jet’s display aects your view when looking to your right. Users in countries
where cars drive on the le side of the road, or users in situations where traic is on the right, need to be especially aware of
the blind spot when shoulder-checking for hazards.
5. Reduced peripheral vision. Jet’s battery and engine may reduce your peripheral vision and your ability to detect hazards
coming from behind you or from the side. Be aware of this risk and scan for hazards accordingly.
6. Jet is not a set of safety goggles. Jet’s lenses are impact-resistant, but they may not protect you from all impacts. If
engaging in activities for which eye protection is required or advisable, do not use Jet. Instead, use certied safety glasses.
7. Face injury. Impacts to Jet can cause injuries to the face. This applies to any eyewear or device worn on the face. Be mindful
of this risk.
8. When cycling, keep your hands on the handlebars at all times. Your hands must be on the handlebars in order for you to
control the bike. Don’t lose control and cause an accident by ddling with Jet while riding. Set up your preferences before the
ride so that Jet displays the desired information without requiring you to take your hands o the bars. If you have to change
settings or interact with Jet mid-ride, stop in a safe place before doing so.

II
9. Wear a properly tted helmet. Protect your brain. Wear a helmet that ts your head. Make sure Jet ts properly and does
not interfere with your helmet. Wearing a helmet improperly can compromise its ability to protect your head in an accident.
Follow the helmet manufacturer’s directions for proper t. If you cannot wear Jet and your helmet together, try a new helmet
or return Jet.
10. Motion sickness. Some people are more susceptible to motion sickness than others. In rare cases, looking at the display
even for a second may cause nausea, dizziness, or other discomfort. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop using Jet.
11. Overheating. Jet should not overheat or cause thermal discomfort during normal use. If Jet causes any thermal
discomfort or seems hotter than normal, stop using it and contact Recon for assistance. Wearing overheating electronics can
cause skin damage.
12. Don’t overcharge the battery. Don’t overcharge Jet’s battery. Overcharging the battery can damage it, which can lead to
re or explosions. Read the instructions on proper battery charging carefully. If the battery exhibits any visible damage, or if it
overheats during charging, stop using Jet immediately and unplug the charger.
13. Don’t use a leaking battery. The battery could leak if punctured or damaged, which could result in a re or in the rapid
release of pressurized gas. Stop using Jet immediately if you see any signs of battery damage. Do not use Jet again until the
battery is replaced or repaired.
14. Avoid electric shock. Water and electricity don’t mix. Only plug Jet into an electrical source or computer when Jet, the
USB cable, the AC adapter, the computer, and YOU are dry. If you or any components are wet, you may experience an electric
shock. Electricity can hurt or kill you.
15. Allergies to plastic. If you have plastic allergies, the plastic used on Jet’s surfaces (including the frame, ear stems,
nosepiece, electronics, and battery module) may cause an allergic reaction or skin irritation. If you have a plastic allergy,
consult your doctor before using Jet. If you have an allergic reaction when using Jet, stop using it immediately and see
your doctor.
16. Binocular rivalry. Jet’s display shows an image to one eye only. If you look at the display for extended periods of time,
you may develop “binocular rivalry,” which manifests as eye strain. Glance at the screen for only very brief periods of time.
Do not stare at the screen. If you feel eye strain or discomfort, stop using Jet immediately. If the condition persists, see your
doctor.
17. Don’t take unnecessary risks. Enjoy Jet responsibly. Having instant access to performance data and activity information
is motivating. Manage your motivation and exercise responsibly. Obey all traic regulations and speed limits. Do not take
unlawful or ill-advised risks. Always maintain control. Be aware of your surroundings, your safety, and the safety of others.
Failure to use Jet responsibly could result in accident, injury, or death for you or others.
18. Lens warnings and important safety instructions. Recon Instruments eyewear should not be used to look directly at
the sun or at strong articial light sources. Unless tted with lter category 0 lenses, the eyewear should not be used in dimly
lit environments, especially at dawn, at dusk, or at night. Spectral lenses (e.g. Spectral Red) and lter category 4 lenses are
designed for performance applications and may make traic signals hard to recognize. Those lenses are therefore not suitable
for road use. If the eyewear obstructs your normal eld of vision, do not wear it while driving. While Recon Jet eyewear meets
or exceeds relevant impact resistance safety standards, it should not be used for high-risk impact sports or in industrial
environments where eye protection is required.

TROUBLESHOOTING
GPS
GPS technology works best in open spaces, when you have a clear view of the sky. Obstacles such as buildings and trees can
degrade the signal. If you are outside when starting an activity, your Jet will automatically acquire a GPS x. You will notice
a blinking red GPS logo on your Jet display. When a GPS x is achieved, that logo will turn into a solid triangle.
If you have trouble acquiring a GPS x, it may be because:
• Your Jet is trying to acquire a x for the rst time.
• Your Jet has not been used for an extended period of time.
• Your Jet is being used indoors.
• You have traveled a long distance with your Jet turned o.
If you encounter any of these issues, try connecting Jet to your smartphone through the Recon Engage mobile app. This will
enable Assisted GPS and allow Jet to get an initial location x.
ASSISTED GPS (AGPS)
Assisted GPS (AGPS) helps locate satellites in your area, allowing Jet to get a GPS x more quickly.
To activate AGPS, either connect your Jet to your smartphone through the Recon Engage mobile app, or connect your Jet to
you computer and run the Recon Uplink desktop app.
SCREEN BRIGHTNESS
If Jet’s display appears too bright or too dim, navigate to Settings, then navigate to Display and scroll down to Brightness.
You can adjust the brightness level by swiping le and right on the Brightness settings screen.
