SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ BEFORE USING RECON JET
Jet is designed to enhance your running and cycling experiences, when used properly. If used improperly, such as riding without
paying attention to the road, you can get in an accident that could result in property damage, serious injury, or death. Always pay
attention to the road. Do not focus on Jet's display and become distracted from your surroundings. Ride safe and have fun.
Please read and understand these warnings before using Jet. If you have any questions about these warnings or how to safely use
Jet, contact our support team at support@reconinstruments.com.
1. Avoid Distraction. Keep your eyes on the Road. Jet's display is in front of your right eye, but that does not mean you can look at
the display and still see everything on the road. Focusing on the display may cause you to miss cars, road debris, and other hazards
and may reduce or eliminate your ability to avoid an accident. So don't focus your attention on the display. Look quickly—like a
quick glance at your car dashboard or rearview mirror—and only when you are sure that you are safe from traffic and other hazards.
Get your eyes back on the road immediately.
Jet provides more information than your cycling computer. You may get notices, texts, or alerts while riding or doing another activity
that demands your full attention. Jet is open to third-party app developers, so you may download apps that do much more, such as
push emails to your display. Don't read emails and texts or attempt to respond to them until you have come to a complete stop in a
safe place.
Don't let navigating distract you from watching the road. Following maps and GPS data on a little screen while biking is hard enough,
so don't focus on it to the exclusion of watching the road. Stop in a safe area if you need to figure out your location or directions.
2. Attention Tunneling. We want you to know about something called "attention tunneling." This is a fancy word for your brain
focusing on some inputs to the exclusion of others. Focusing on the display may cause your brain to ignore other things, such as
oncoming cars, even though your eyes see them. Attention tunneling can cause you to miss hazards that your eyes see, or to have
delayed reaction times. Avoid attention tunneling by keeping your focus on the road and glancing at the display only for short
periods when you know you are safe from cars and other hazards.
3. Increased reaction time. Viewing the display, even for a fraction of a second, may increase the time it takes to see and react to a
hazard. To ensure you have enough reaction time, only look at the display when you are clear of traffic, pedestrians, and road
hazards.
4. Blind Spot. The display is slightly below your right eye's line of sight so you can see it easily. But be aware the display creates a
blind spot in your field of view while cycling. The blind spot may affect your ability to see hazards, especially when doing your
shoulder check for traffic behind you. Be aware of this reduced field of view and alter your scan for hazards so that you can see
things in the blind spot.
Due to its position on the right side of the face, the display affects your view when looking to your right more than your left. Riders
in places like the United Kingdom, Japan, and Australia where cars drive on the left side of the road, or riders in places where traffic
is on the right, need to be especially aware of the blind spot when doing a shoulder check for hazards.
5. Reduced Peripheral Vision. The attachments on the left and right arms of the sunglass frame may reduce peripheral vision, which
will decrease your ability to detect motion or hazards coming from behind you or to the side. Be aware of this and alter your scan for
hazards accordingly.
