CHARGING FOR FIRST-TIME USE
Charge battery before use with a standard USB wall
charger, wait until all three LEDs are solid.
Can take up to two hours if the battery is fully empty.

ASSEMBLING YOUR M4000 SMART GLASSES SYSTEM
1. Before attaching the viewer to either side of the smart glasses frame, determine your dominant eye for
optimum use of M4000 capabilities
2. Attach viewer to your preferred side of the safety glasses by sliding the mounting rail onto the temple
mount on the frames. Once properly fitted, the unit will be adjustable by sliding forward and backward,
and rotating/tilting the the display.
3. Using the same mounting process, attach the on-frame battery onto the other side of the frames.
4. Plug the USB-C viewer cable into the viewer and the on frame battery
(the viewer will automatically turn on).
5. When ready to wear your M4000 Smart Glasses, lift the power cable over
your head to rest on your shoulders as you place the Smart Glasses as
you would a pair of glasses.
6. Ear hooks and alternate nose pads are available for proper fit.
DETERMINE YOUR DOMINANT EYE
Extend your hands, placing them together to make a small triangle between your thumbs and knuckle.
Keeping both eyes open, center a nearby object inside the triangle. Close each eye one at a time. Notice
how the object moves out of view when one eye is closed? When the object remains in view, the open eye
is your dominant eye.
04

Holding only the plastic housing of the lens, adjust left, right, up and
down for optimal use. NEVER adjust by touching/moving the waveguide
display—doing so may damage or destroy the waveguide display. When
cleaning, you may stabilize the display by gently holding the outer edge,
but only if the rest of the unit is properly supported.

DEVELOPING FOR M4000
Developer documentation is available at vuzix.com/developers.
In order to power the unit during development, please note:
• The included battery does not support data pass-through.
• The viewer should be plugged into the developer’s machine
with a USB C-to-C cable for the best experience.
• If a USB A-to-C cable must be used, then using a
CDP-capable port will provide enough power. If the USB-A
port is not providing sufficient power, functions of the
device may become impaired without notice, and the
viewer may shut down completely.

seals and impair the water resistance.
• Make sure that there is no standing water in the USB connector before
inserting the cable.
• Do not insert sharp objects into any holes in the viewer as this may
damage the mesh and impair the water resistance.
