Due to the architecture needed to support the Hot-Swap Batteries, the M300 will 
continue to consume a small amount of power, even when powered off if the Hot-
Swap Battery and Main Units are connected. To prevent the batteries from 
discharging when the device is not in use, disconnect either end of the Power Cable 
connecting the Hot-Swap Battery and Main Unit. 

Determine Your Dominant Eye 

Each of us has a dominant eye, also known as an eye preference. This is a 
tendency to prefer visual input from one eye to the other, similar to being right or 
left-handed. 

For the M300 Smart Glasses to be most effective, its display should be positioned 
in front of your dominant eye – on the left or right side of the Smart Glasses 
Frame. 

Follow the steps below to identify your dominant eye. 

To identify your dominant eye: 

 

Hold your hands out in front of yourself, forming a triangle with your 
forefingers and thumbs, as shown in the illustration. 

 

 

With both eyes open, frame an object in the triangle. 

 

Without moving your hands, close one eye only then reopen it and close 
the other. 

 

The eye with which you can see the object through your hands clearly is 
your dominant eye. Repeat as necessary until you can clearly determine 
your dominant eye. 

Assembly 

The Hot-Swap Battery and Main Unit attach to the M300 Smart Glasses Frame 
by sliding the grooves on the back of either component into the corresponding 
mounting rails on the frame.
