Wear Adjust the arm height. Using both hands, raise or lower the arms to adjust the height of the visor. Your eyes are vertically centered in the screens.
Wear Slide the screens to center them over your pupils.
Wear Close one eye, and move the screen in front of the open eye until you see a clear, sharp view. Then, repeat for the opposite eye and screen. Finally, if you need to fine-tune the view, move the screens with both eyes open.
Wear Adjust the distance of the visor from your eyes. On both sides, rotate the Arm Dial forward to extend or backward to retract the visor. The screens are a comfortable viewing distance from your eyes or your prescription glasses if you wear them.
Use Adjust the tilt of the visor. If the visor doesn’t tilt up fully, adjust the distance of the visor from your eyes, so it’s a little farther from your eyes.
