Page 27: Fitting/Wearing Onyx
Please try on your Onyx, adjusting the head strap to ensure that it is held securely and comfortably to your head. If you can’t position Onyx comfortably in line with your eyes, or if it is putting too much pressure on your nose, you may need to change the nose bridge (see page 29).
Page 28 Fitting the head strap Fit the head strap if you want to use Onyx hands-free. One head strap is supplied already fitted to the arms. There is also a spare head strap. To fit the head strap: Clip the arms onto the brackets on the sides of the headset.
Page 29 Page 27...
Page 30 Fitting a new forehead pad The forehead pad makes Onyx comfortable to wear and helps keep the lenses at the right distance from your eyes. The lenses should be close enough to your eye to get a good image from the display, but not so close as to be touching your eye lashes.
Page 31 Fitting a new nose bridge If the headset is pushing too heavily onto your nose, you might want to use a smaller nose bridge. To fit a new nose bridge: Grip the nose bridge and pull firmly away from the headset. Align the replacement nose bridge so that the rubber guide point fits within the guide hole in the headset.
Page 32 Adjusting the eyepieces Onyx works best when your eyes are in the centre of each eyepiece. To adjust the eyepieces: Slide the eyepieces left or right until you feel like each of the lenses is aligned directly in front of your eyes.
Page 33 Using the lanyard The supplied lanyard allows you to hang the headset around your neck when not in use. This keeps the device within easy reach when you are using it intermittently for hobbies or detailed work. To use the lanyard: Attach the lanyard clips to the headset via the small circular holes at the bottom of each headset bracket.
