2 | OAKLEY AIRWAVE 1.5 / RECON OWNER’S MANUAL
Welcome
The original Oakley Airwave
™
took technology to new
heights, and now Airwave 1.5 takes it to the summit of
possibility.
Airwave 1.5 goggles combine world-class performance,
protection and comfort with a heads-up display that
integrates GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
®
and more with a host of
onboard sensors to give you instant access to a world of
information. The latest edition offers a broader range of
connectivity, new integration with social media, enhanced
display graphics and improved battery life.
You can find your location with preloaded maps available
for hundreds of resorts worldwide, and even track others
in your group. Measure your performance with sensor
information that includes altitude, speed and vertical
descent data, and view jump analytics that show distance,
height and airtime.
We added onboard Wi-Fi to Airwave 1.5 so it can connect
wirelessly to compatible devices. Bluetooth connectivity
allows pairing with a compatible smartphone for immediate
viewing of incoming calls and text messages, and if your
Bluetooth-enabled smartphone has music, your playlists can
be accessed and controlled.
Bluetooth is even better with Airwave 1.5. To accommodate
the full bandwidth of more advanced iPhone
®
models, we
added an integrated MFi chip. It improves the wireless
connection by offering enhanced pairing, faster and more
reliable data transfer, and easier transfer of web information
from your iPhone to the Airwave display.
Are you a Facebook fan? With Airwave 1.5, you can see
Facebook messages in real time while you are on the
hill, and respond to them quickly via configurable, preset
messages on the Airwave display. Other types of messaging
are part of the handy consolidated view, including iMessage
and SMS via your iPhone. Airwave 1.5 also lets you post
graphics and messages to Facebook. Now when you beat
your personal best, it will be known beyond the mountain.
You can even receive real-time feedback when a friend
“likes” your post.
The first time you use Airwave will be an eye-opening
experience that will leave you in awe, and Prizm
™
makes
it possible. When you are active on the mountain, you
will have clear and open vision without obstruction or
distraction. When it is time to stop and review your
performance or get vital information, you simply move your
eye toward the miniature prism lens.
With the innovative Prizm
™
, the displayed information
appears as though you are looking at a 14-inch display from
a distance of five feet. And thanks to the horsepower of a
new processor, things look even better on the new edition
of Airwave. It has the same rich resolution, but graphics
appear sharper and smoother, and video streaming is fast
and fluid.
Oakley Switchlock
™
Technology makes the lens changing
process quick and hassle-free, allowing you to take
advantage of our wide array of optional lens tints that
optimize vision for environmental conditions. For maximized
performance, F3 anti-fog technology is paired with a dual-
vented lens, a premium design engineered with semi-flush
geometry for wide peripheral vision. Oakley Plutonite
®
lens
material filters out 100% of all UV light, and optional lenses
with Iridium
®
coatings balance light transmission.
The durable chassis is made of lightweight O Matter
™
that
stays comfortably flexible, and O-Flow Arch technology
reduces nasal pressure to improve airflow for free breathing.
With fixed O Matter
™
outriggers for the interchangeable
strap design, you get a balanced fit – with or without a
helmet – while a moisture-wicking triple layer of fleece
foam at the facial contact zone provides all-day comfort.
Oakley Airwave 1.5 offers the ultimate in performance,
convenience and capability. This is technology that adds
fun to your alpine experience instead of getting in the way.
Make the most of every moment on the mountain with
Airwave 1.5, a world-class invention that delivers the goods
straight to your brain.
