This section of the guide leads you through the installation and connection of your
WRAP 1200DX eyewear to a variety of host devices. Some adaptation may be
required for some devices.
The Wrap 1200DX is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery in the
Controller. The eyewears runtime varies dependent upon the power demands
of the video, screen brightness and other factors including the charge level of the
Controllers battery.
Prior to First Use
Prior to using the Wrap 1200DX its battery must charged for a minimum of
four (4) hours, using a USB power supply providing a minimum of 0.5 Amps
(charger not included).
Charging
The Wrap 1200DXs Controller can be charged using a USB charger plugged
into an electrical outlet or another USB power source, such as a USB port on a
computer, as long as it provides 0.5 Amps or greater.
The USB cable provided with your eyewear has two different connectors, a small
Mini-B connector (left) and a standard Type A (right) as illustrated below.

! Plug the Mini-B connector into the USB port on the Controller and the Type A
connector into the USB power source.
Some HDMI
connections require
significant power. For
continuous use of the
eyewear over extended
periods, you may have
to maintain a
connection to the USB
charger.
A USB power supply
providing 1.0 Amps or
greater is
recommended.

Audio
The WRAP 1200DX is equipped with removable stereo earphones. Small, medium
and large noise-isolation rings are included.
! Press the plus (+) or minus (-) button on the Controller to adjust the volume.
Do not put the earphones into your ears until the audio volume has been set to
a moderate and safe level.
Focal Adjustment
The focus of each eyes display can be adjusted independently from approximately
+2 to -4 diopters. If this adjustment is insufficient, the eyewear can be worn over
many styles of prescription eyeglasses.

! Close one eye and slide the adjuster above your open eye to achieve the
sharpest focus.
! Repeat the process, closing the opposite eye.
Eye Separation Adjustment
This distance between your eyes, InterPupillary Distance (IPD), varies from one
person to the next. If your eyes are not correctly aligned with the displays, the image
may appear dark or disappear entirely. An IPD adjustment enables you to align
each display with its respective eye.

Each display adjusts independently by sliding it left or right.
! Close one eye and slide the display box for the other eye left or right to provide
the clearest and brightest image.
! Repeat the process to adjust the other display.
If an alternate audio
system is used, volume

Accutilt

Display Angle Adjustment

The angle of your displays can also impact their clarity. Vuzix eyewear is equipped
with a patented Accutilt system that enables the display to be to be tilted up or
down by up to 15 degrees.

! Adjust the display angle, by rotating the up/down tilt of display module, to
achieve the best quality image.
Nose Bridge
The nose bridge assembly is adjustable both in length and the angle/width of its
pads.

! Slide the nose pad assembly in or out to adjust the display height of your
eyewear. The eyewear displays should be aligned to the same level as your
eyes.
! Bend the nose pad wires to adjust the pad separation and angle.
Just as is the case with prescription eyeglasses, the wire arms of the nose pads are
designed for adjustment for a single user. Excessive and/or frequent adjustment or
sharp bends in the wire arms may weaken and break them. Replacement nose pads
are available from Vuzix.
Tether Strap
For active applications a tether strap can be used to provide a more secure fit.

! Attached each end of the tether strap to the eyelets on the eyewear stems.
! Adjust the strap synch for a comfortable and secure fit.
If the stem pulls
completely out, simply
slip it back into its slot
taking care that the
serrated strip faces
toward you away
from the eyewear
display assembly.

Most HDMI devices do not require display configuration adjustment when
connected to the Wrap 1200DX. Some computer systems may require adjustments
to their display settings to enable the Wrap 1200DX as second or external display.
The computer must be configured to support the Wrap 1200DX as an external
monitor, duplication its desktop or laptop monitor. Depending upon your
operating system this configuration may be referred to as duplicate, mirrored, or
clone display mode.
If the display settings do not automatically adjust to a resolution commonly
supported by the desktop and eyewear monitors, it must be manually set to one of
the following resolutions:
1152 x 648
1280 x 720 (720p)
1600 x 900
1920 x 1080 (1080p)
2D and 3D video is supported on all known makes and models of Windows
compatible graphics cards. No additional 3D drivers are required.
3D Video
By default the eyewear supports standard 2D video. Stereoscopic 3D video support
is provided for side-by-side, top/bottom and frame packed content. A compliant
HDMI 3D capable source will automatically configure the eyewear for the correct
3D mode and enable 3D display. You will not be able to change the 3D settings of
the eyewear when it is automatically configured in this manner.
Battery
The Controller contains a rechargeable lithium ion battery, recharged by connecting
it to a USB charger (wall outlet or computer port) with an output of 1 amp or
greater.
Recharging a fully depleted battery can take up to 8 hours.
The Vuzix icon on the Controller will illuminate red while the device is plugged
into the charger. If the device is plugged in and turned on, the red illumination will

The WRAP 1200DXs nose bridge and pads are adjustable. For the best viewing
experience your displays should be centered in front of your eyes. By sliding the nose
bridge assemblys stem in or out of the display module you can adjust the resting
height of the displays. By bending the wire nose pad arms you can address the angle
and spread of the pad to achieve optimum comfort.

To adjust the nose bridge:
! Slide the nose bridge assembly in and out to adjust its reach to position the
eyewear displays directly in your line of sight.
If you pull the nose bridge assembly too far out it will come completely out of the
display module. Don't worry if this happens as it can be easily slid back in and
enables you to replace the nose bridge assembly should it be broken.
! Gently bend the wire arms of the nose pad to achieve a comfortable fit with the
pads face resting on the bridge of your nose in the same manner that you
would adjust the nose pads on standard eyeglasses.
Gentle persuasion with a pair of needle nose pliers works best to bend the wire nose
pad arms. This places the least amount of strain on the assembly and adjacent parts.
The wire nose pad arms are not designed for frequent bending or sharp angles as this
may weaken and break them. Replacement nose pad assemblies are available for
purchase from Vuzix (www.vuzix.com).
IPD (InterPupillary Distance) is the distance separating your eyes - sometimes
referred to simplify as eye-separation. IPD varies from one person to the next and
when yours does not match close enough to the eyewear displays, the image in one
eye or the other may darken or disappear entirely.

16

Each display adjusts independently by sliding it left or right.
To adjust the IPD:
! Close one eye and slide the display box for the other eye left or right to provide
the clearest and brightest image.
! Repeat the process to adjust the other display.
Your WRAP 1200DX is equipped with a patented view angle adjustment called
Accutilt. The mechanism allows you to rotate and tilt the display module up and
down approximately 15 to achieve the best quality display.

To adjust the viewing angle:
! Pivot the display assembly to achieve the best quality display.
The noise isolating earphones provided with the WRAP 1200DX are removable and
the eyewear can be used with or without them attached. The earphones are
interchangeable and can be used on either the left or right side.

Three sizes of noise-isolators are provided, allowing you to adjust for a secure and
comfortable fit. Simply slide one noise isolator off the speaker stem and slide
another on.

17
Volume adjustment for the earphones is controlled using the Adjustment Buttons
on the Controller. Take care that the volume is set to a low level before inserting the
earphones into your ears.

Adjustment Buttons
If you are using an alternate audio system, use that audio systems controls to adjust
volume.
Windows - Lost Audio
When a Windows equipped computers detect a new speaker system they assume you
want to use these new speakers and automatically configures them as the enabled
speaker system. If you had been listening for audio through another sound system, it
may appear that youve lost audio. The audio is still playing but Windows has
redirected it to play through the eyewears earphones. Use the speaker settings in the
Windows Control Panel to select another speaker system.

A tether strap or lanyard is provided for those unaccustomed to wearing glasses or
who are moving around while wearing the WRAP 1200DX. The tether will help
secure (but not prevent) it from falling off and possible damaged.
The ends of the tether strap loop over the hooks at the end of each eyewear stem.

18
The following items are not included with the Wrap 1200DX but may be
purchased separately from Vuzix or other retailers.
The optional Vuzix Wrap Tracker (P/N: 301T00011) adds see-where-you-look
capabilities to supported virtual reality games and simulation programs running on a
Windows PC. This 3-DOF head tracker with compass plugs into the back of the
eyewears display module and connects to a Windows based computer through the
Controllers USB cable.

The Wrap Tracker is supported by a large number of games and simulation
programs. A creator feature in its VR Manager software also allows you to enable
many additional games with head tracker support.
Head-tracking support enables a game or simulator to be aware of your current head
position direction of view for increased spacial awareness and realism. An example of
head tracking in a flight simulation is its ability to alter your viewing perspective to
display content in the direction of your current view and change that angle and
direction as you swivel your head for see-where-you-look realism.
The Wrap tracker plugs into a small port on the Wrap 1200DX and connects to a
Windows based PC through the Wrap Controllers Mini-USB port and cable. Vuzix
VR Manager software is included to enable tracker calibration and add VR support
in a broad number of Windows based applications.
Go to the Vuzix website for more information on the Wrap Tracker.
The optional Wrap Lightshield slips easily on and off the Wrap eyewear to enable
total immersion for virtual reality applications or simply to block out light and
visual distractions for viewing a movie.

MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) is a standard used primarily by tablets and
smartphones to provide HDMI connectivity through a smaller micro USB port. It
sends the audio and video signals through the micro USB connector and converts it
to a HDMI signal for use on supported devices, such Vuzix eyewear equipped with
an HDMI compatible Controller. The signal remains in digital format throughout
the conversion process, avoiding quality is lost.
A Micro USB to HDMI MHL Adapter enables MHL device, such as an HTC EVO
3D or Samsung Galaxy S3, to connect to HDMI enabled eyewear models for audio
and all of the HDMI supported video resolutions. It also supports 3D video and
HDCP media protection when used with HDMI enabled Vuzix eyewear models.
Most MHL devices require an external power source from their internal batteries, to
drive the adapter and to power the eyewear. In many cases this power requirement
exceeded the output of typical USB ports on a computer. Though connecting to a
computers USB will charge the eyewear Controllers battery if the eyewear is not in
use, it may not provide sufficient power for indefinite use. For the shortest charge
time and to enable indefinite use of an MHL connected eyewear session, supply
power to the MHL Adapter from the power adapter provided with your eyewear,
with no other USB devices connected.
The following is a partial listing of MHL mobile devices from three popular
manufacturers:

Your eyewear is virtually maintenance free, requiring only occasional cleaning with a
soft microfiber cloth. Do not spray cleaners onto the eyewear or any of its
components or immerse them in water. If required, spray a small amount of optical
lens cleaner on a microfiber cloth and use that to clean stubborn marks or oily film.
Never use solvents, abrasive cleaners or paper towel on your eyewear. These items
will damage the lens coatings, permanently degrading the eyewears image quality.
