Your Snow2 needs to be activated and registered before you use it up on the mountain. To get started, please follow the
instructions below.
1. Create your Engage Account at reconinstruments.com/getstarted and follow the prompts to Get Started with
your Snow2 HUD.
2. Once you’ve created your account, download and install the Recon Uplink Desktop Application on your
computer in order to get the most up-to-date software for your HUD (ReconOS).
3. Customize Fit:
Snap fit your Snow2 into your goggle. Gently remove your goggle’s lens and snap fit your Snow2 into
your ‘Recon Ready’goggle frame. The HUD sits in the right hand side of the goggle, while the battery sits
on the left. Watch this tutorial for assistance with installation: http://youtu.be/RLsE-e83CLQ
Adjust your goggles fit. Adjust the strap sliders on your goggle’s strap; fit the goggle to your face so that
it sits upon your face comfortably and securely.
Once you have installed Snow2 into your goggle, turn it on by pressing and holding down the power
button. The power button is found on the right-side of your goggle. Wait until the power button
shows a blue light to indicate the device is switched on.
Adjust the orientation of your Snow2 display to optimize visibility of the HUDs screen. With your
fingers, gently pivot and rotate your Recon HUD until the screen is fully visible when comfortably
wearing the goggle. For assistance with display adjustment, visit this page:
