READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY INFORMATION PROVIDED BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT. 2. Use the product only for its intended use, as described in this manual. 3. Close supervision is needed when this product is used by or near children. 4. Children under the age of seven (7) are still learning to focus and track with their eyes. Their vision is still immature. For these reasons, THIS PRODUCT SHOULD NOT BE USED BY CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF SEVEN (7). 5. A very small portion of the population may experience epileptic seizures when viewing certain kinds of flashing lights or patterns that are commonly present in our daily environment. These persons may also experience seizures while watching some kinds of television pictures or playing certain video games on regular monitors, including the use of a display system such as this. These effects can be increased due to the large size of the video screens in this device. As a result consult a physician if you have any epileptic condition before using this device or if you experience any of the following symptoms while using this device: altered vision, muscle twitching, other involuntary movements, loss of awareness of your surroundings, mental confusion, and/or convulsions. 6. The primary responsibility of every driver is the safe operation of his or her vehicle. Responsible drivers understand that no secondary task should be performed while driving whether it be eating, drinking, talking to passengers, or using a wearable device - unless the driver has assessed the driving conditions and is confident that the secondary task will not interfere with their primary responsibility. Do not engage in any activity while driving a moving vehicle that may cause you to take your eyes off the road or become so absorbed in the activity that your ability to concentrate on the act of driving becomes impaired. Check the laws and regulations on the use of wearable devices and their accessories in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. The use of these devices may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas. For example, only hands-free use may be permitted in certain areas. 7. Immersive video, whether viewed on a regular TV, a movie theater screen or a VUZIX video display, can potentially have adverse effects on the user, including: motion sickness, perceptual after effects, disorientation, decreased postural stability, and eye strain. Take frequent breaks to lessen the potential of these effects, as is commonly suggested for other items, such as keyboards and computer monitors, that you may tend to fixate or concentrate on. If your eyes show signs of fatigue or dryness or if any of the above symptoms are noted, immediately discontinue use of this device and do not resume using it for at least 30 minutes after the symptoms have fully subsided. 8. Permanent or temporary hearing loss or impairment can result from excessive volume levels emitted from the headphones. Always adjust the volume to a safe level BEFORE wearing the product or headphones. 9. This product when recharging may be tethered to a power outlet and cables may extend between components. Be careful that these cords do not tangle around you or pose a potential threat to the safety of others. 10. Do not disassemble this product. If service work is required, contact VUZIX using the Support contact information shown in this manual. 11. Do not drop, strike, or cause any portion of the product to be struck or shaken aggressively. Such actions may damage the product and void your warranty. 12. Do not let this product come in contact with liquids. Liquids can get into the product’s circuits and display system leading to damage, shorts and even fire. If this product gets wet, have it checked by your service provider or contact Vuzix, even if the product appears to be working properly. Immediately unplug the product from external power sources if:  Liquid has been sprayed, splashed or poured on the M100 or the M100 has been immersed in a liquid.  Any component of the product has been dropped or damaged.  The product exhibits any distinct change in performance.
13. Battery Safety Instructions The battery in the smart glasses is not intended to be replaced by the consumer. If you believe the battery is damaged or needs to be replaced, check Vuzix website for technical support.

Care and Maintenance 1. Your wearable device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you fulfill any warranty obligations and allow you to enjoy this product for many years: 2. Keep the wearable device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and liquids contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. If the wearable device does get wet, do not accelerate drying with the use of an oven, microwave, or dryer, because this may damage the wearable device and could cause a fire or explosion. 3. Avoid temperatures below 0°C / 32°F or above 45°C / 113°F. 4. Avoid exposing your wearable device to dust, dirt, or sand. 5. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the wearable device. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild soap-and-water solution. Use a camera lens blower or brush or lens cleaning paper dampened in a lens cleaning solution to clean the camera and display lens. 6. Do not drop, knock, or shake the wearable device. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards. 7. Do not paint the wearable device. Paint can clog the device’s moving parts or ventilation openings and prevent proper operation. Operating Environment 1. Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area, and always switch your wearable device off whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference or danger. When connecting the wearable device or any accessory to another device, read its user's guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible products. 2. Switch your wearable device off in any facility where posted notices require you to do so. 3. Switch your wearable device off when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Users are advised to switch the wearable device off while at a refueling point (service station). 4. Users are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders, and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection Association. 5. Save these instructions for future reference.

RF Exposure information M100 smart glasses have been tested and meet applicable limits for Radio Frequency (RF) exposure. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) refers to the rate at which the body absorbs RF energy. SAR limits are 1.6 Watts per kilogram (over a volume containing a mass of 1 gram of tissue) in countries that follow the United States FCC limit and 2.0 W/kg (averaged over 10 grams of tissue) in countries that follow the Council of the European Union limit. During testing, M100 radios are set to their highest transmission levels and placed in positions that simulate use against the head. To reduce exposure to RF energy, use the M100 without Wi-Fi connectivity turned on where possible. Cases with metal parts may change the RF performance of the device, including its compliance with RF exposure guidelines, in a manner that has not been tested or certified. The transmit range for Wi-Fi and BTLE are 2412 - 2462 MHz and 2402 – 2480 MHz respectively. The max SAR is 0.374 mW/g.
