important safety & handling instructions

WARNING:

The myvu personal media viewer must not be used in any circumstances for which a complete field of vision is necessary for reasons of safety. Nor should the viewer be used in any situation in which undistracted viewing, hearing or mental concentration is necessary. The viewer should never be worn while operating equipment or vehicles, while handling sharp, hot or otherwise dangerous objects, or used in other situations where your undivided attention is needed to avoid danger to yourself or to others. It is the responsibility of the user of this product to employ common sense with regard to appropriate product usage.

This product is not recommended for children under 10 years of age, nor for people with atypical visual or neurological conditions. Consult a physician if you have concerns about your specific condition and the use of this product.

Even though the viewer permits users to maintain most of their natural vision, some people may still experience motion sickness, perceptual after effects, disorientation, instability and loss of balance, and eyestrain. If you experience any of these effects, discontinue use of the product.

Hearing loss can result when listening to audio at excessively high levels or for prolonged periods of time. Always set the volume level on your source device and your myvu personal media viewer to a safe level before placing the earbuds in your ears.

Handling your myvu personal media viewer

WARNING: Please use care when handling the cables. Avoid kinks and knotting of the cables as careless handling can result in permanent damage to the cables.

Do not disassemble or attempt to repair or modify this product.

Surface Cleaning

The viewer may be wiped with a clean, soft cotton cloth, lens cloth or the microfiber protective sleeve supplied with this product.

WARNING: Do not use alcohol or other solvents to clean the viewer.

tips for comfortable viewing

While wearing the viewer, adjust its position until you can see the entire video image clearly. The position and angle of the viewer relative to your eyes are important for proper viewing. When the viewer is properly positioned, the video image should be in full view.

Earbuds and earbud pads

Cover the earbuds with the protective earbud pads. Three different size earbud pads (small, medium and large) are provided (see figure 4.). Choose a pad size that fits comfortably in your ear. Be sure to adjust the volume to a safe level before inserting the earbuds into your ears (see figure 5.). The viewer ships with medium-sized earbuds attached.

Picture control

Due to the nature of this universal product, picture settings may need to change to suit your specific portable media player. Use the brightness and picture controls featured on the pendant to adjust myvu's picture to suit your viewing pleasure. Further instructions on adjusting the picture and brightness are listed below.

You can power myvu "On" by using the power button on the pendant. The pendant also allows you to control image contrast and brightness by holding down the appropriate button on the pendant. You can return the brightness and contrast settings to the factory default settings at any time by pressing the power and increase volume buttons simultaneously while the viewer is on. Figure 7 shows the button functions and layout on the pendant.

about charging the battery

In order to get the longest possible video experience, fully charge your myvu and your portable media player before each use. You can still watch video or listen to music while the battery is being charged if charging through a USB wall adapter. If the battery is very low, you may not be able to turn on the viewer until it has charged some. The LED on the pendant indicates the charging state of your myvu:

Solid Blue: On and detected video signal Blinking Blue: On but no video signal detected (check video sources and A/V cable connections) Blinking Orange: Charging Slow Blinking Orange: Low battery Solid Orange: Fully charged

Charging time

The battery is designed to charge from many different power sources. When using a high capacity charging adaptor, such as a USB wall adaptor, full charge can be achieved in approximately three hours. When charging off of a computer, slow charge mode is in effect, which will take approximately eight hours to achieve full charge.

troubleshooting

No video and no audio

1. Make sure that the "TV out" or "Video out" setting on your portable media player is set to "On."
2. Make sure that the viewer's battery and your portable media player are fully charged. If the viewer's LED is slowly blinking orange after you turn it on, it has a low battery. Use the USB cable to charge the battery.
3. Make sure the viewer in turned "On." If the LED on the pendant is not lit up, press the button and hold it until the light comes on to power it on.
4. If the LED is blinking Blue, there is no video signal getting to the viewer. Make sure the connectors are seated properly into the pendant connector ports located at the bottom and top of the pendant and in the appropriate place on your portable media player.

Video image is not bright enough

1. Make sure that the viewer is properly connected to your portable media player.
2. Make sure that the viewer is fully charged or that it is powered using the USB cable and a wall adapter.
3. Adjust the brightness level by pressing and releasing the Brightness button on the pendant repeatedly until you achieve the desired viewing mode. The image contrast can also be adjusted (see "Using the pendant controls"). Press Volume Up and Power simultaneously to reset adjustments to factory settings.

Video image is fuzzy or out of focus

The viewer has a focal distance that is preset at the factory. There is no focus adjustment. If you cannot see the video image clearly, first try to adjust the nosepiece so that myvu shades is situated properly on your face. If you still cannot see the video image clearly, you may need to wear a corrective lens with your viewer. This is likely if you normally have to wear prescription glasses when using a laptop computer or watching television. A clip-on focus adjustment lens, the myvu clip-on shades edition, is available for the viewer (visit www.myvu.com/clipon).

The video is clipped or black bars appear on top and bottom of the image

The viewer is designed to display a video image with a 4:3 aspect ratio in order to match the standard TV image. If you're viewing Widescreen content and your portable media player allows you to turn Widescreen viewing off, your image will appear clipped. If you're viewing Widescreen content and your portable media player allows you to turn Widescreen On, the image will

appear in a letterbox format, with black bars appearing on the top and bottom of the image.

Weak or nonexistent audio

Verify that all connectors are properly attached. Adjust the volume on myvu's pendant or adjust the volume on your device.

Battery is not charging or is charging slowly

Verify that the USB cable and all connectors are securely attached. For the fastest charging time, it is recommended that you use the USB cable with a USB wall charger to charge your myvu. Charging your myvu with the USB cable connected to a computer is possible, but might result in slower charging times.

If you continue to experience technical problems, please contact Myvu Corporation technical support. (See contact information below or go to www.myvu.com FAQ)

a note to individuals who wear prescription eyeglasses

The myvu personal media viewer has been designed to be light weight and elegant. Accordingly, it will not fit over larger sizes of eyeglasses. Whether or not you will need to use your eyeglasses with the myvu system depends on the degree of correction that you require. For those who cannot fit the myvu system over their current eyewear yet desire ophthalmic correction, a clip-on lens is available. The myvu clip-on shades edition is manufactured to suit your vision needs and attaches easily to the viewer (see figure 8.). This lens can be ordered at www.myvu.com/clipon.
