1. M300 SMART GLASSES INTRODUCTION
Congratulations and welcome to the next generation of hands-free mobile

information on the assembly and basic use of the M300 Smart Glasses. This
document is designed for experienced users requiring only minimal assistance.
This M300 Smart Glasses User Manual provides more comprehensive and
detailed information on a broad array of M300 related topics including setup and
configuration, use and maintenance, as well as the included suite of stock
applications.
Regardless of your experience level, we highly recommend that all M300 Smart
Glasses users read this manual and retain it for future reference.

Nose Pad Options
There are three different nose pad options that come with your M300. The default
set of pads that sit on either side of the nose, and the included alternate full
bridge pads come in two sizes and span the bridge of the nose for added comfort

2. PREPARATION & ASSEMBLY
Prior to using your M300 Smart Glasses, please read through all of the below
sections to ensure the best initial user experience.
Charging
Your M300 Smart Glasses contain two batteries, both of which must be fully
charged prior to their initial use. The Hot-Swap Battery module contains the
primary battery and a standby battery is contained in the Main Unit to keep the
M300 powered during swapping of the Hot-Swap Battery modules.
The Hot-Swap Battery can be charged independently using a USB power source
providing a minimum of 500mA. You can also connect the Main and Hot-Swap
Battery units together using the Power Cable to charge them simultaneously
using a USB power source providing a minimum of 1.5A.
Standard USB ports on computers provide only 500mA. A USB power source
providing a minimum of 1.5A is required to charge the M300 while connected to
the Hot-Swap Battery.
The connectors on each end of the Power Cable are interchangeable and can be
connected to either the Hot-Swap Battery or Main Unit. The tab on the heel of
the connector which secures the connector can be used to help align the
connector for a proper connection.
To connect the Power Cable:
 Align the positioning tab on the heel of the connector with the
corresponding indent in the female connector on the Hot-Swap Battery,
then rotate the front edge of the connector down until its spring clip
clicks into place.
