This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the 
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) 
this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may 
cause undesired operation.
You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this 
manual could void your authority to operate this equipment.

NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B 
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to 
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential 
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy 
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause 
harmful interference to radio communications. 
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular 
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television 
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user 
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following 
measures:

 

 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

 

 Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

 

 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the 

receiver is connected.

 

 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This equipment must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other 
antenna or transmitter.

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are 
associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that 
these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices 
emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being 
used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), 
exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known 
adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any 
biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might 
occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. 
SmartEyeglass (SED-E1) has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation 
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio 
frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines.

This SmartEyeglass (SED-E1) has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure 
guidelines when used with the Sony Corporation accessories supplied or designated 
for this product. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF 
exposure guidelines.

 Subjecting the device to excessive shock or force, or leaving the device in a 

location subject to direct sunlight may cause the display to become skewed. Using 
the device with a skewed display may cause eye strain. Check the device following 
the instructions of “Confirming the Displayed Images” in the Help Guide (Web 
manual). If you confirm that the display is skewed, consult a contact shown on the 
supplied warranty.

 

 Handle the device carefully to avoid smears or scratches. If the display becomes 

dirty, wipe it gently with a soft lenscleaning cloth.

 

 There may be a difference between the image shot with the camera of the device 

and actual subject, or there may be a difference in the uniformity of the brightness 
in images.

 

 The device’s camera is fixed focus system and there may be difficulty to focus on 

close subjects.

 

 The operating temperature of the device is from 5°C to 35 °C (41 °F to 95 °F). We 

recommend that you do not use the device in an environment outside the 
operating temperature.

 

 Charge the battery in an environment with an ambient temperature of 10°C to 

30°C (50 °F to 86 °F). The charging efficiency may decrease in an environment 
outside this temperature.

 

 The device is not waterproof. Keep liquid away from the device. Special care 

should be taken when using the device in a rainy, snowy, or humid location, and in 
a sweaty environment. Please do not let the device fall from your pocket in the 
washroom. Handling the device with wet hands may cause a malfunction.

due to broken pieces. If the glass breaks, stop using immediately and do not touch 
any broken glass.

 

 Do not disassemble or alter the device. Doing so may cause a malfunction or 

electrical shock. To change the rechargeable battery, or to inspect or repair the 
device’s interior, consult a contact shown on the supplied warranty.

foreign object gets inside the device, stop using immediately and consult a 
contact shown on the supplied warranty.

 

 Do not cover the device with a cloth or do not put the device where heat release is 

blocked, such as on a blanket, carpet, or in a bookcase or built-in cabinet. This may 
cause a fire and electric shock, or distortion of the device.

 

 Do not hold the controller in your hand for a long time. It may cause inflammation 

or blisters. People with sensitive skin should be particularly careful.

 

 Pay attention not to damage your eye with the tip of the vine when putting on or 

removing the device. Also, be careful not to pinch your fingers in the hinge.

 

 When the air is dry, you may feel the pain and tingling in your ears and nose. This 

is not malfunction of the device. It is due to static electricity stored in the human 
body. If you dress in clothes made of natural materials, static electricity may be 
reduced.

 

 When charging or using for a long time, the temperature of the device may raise. 

This is not a malfunction.

 

 If the device will not be used for an extended period, the duration of the 

rechargeable battery may shorten. Repeating discharging and charging of the 
battery a few times makes the duration sufficient.

 

 If the device will not be used for an extended period, recharge the battery every 

six months to eliminate battery degradation.

 

 If you do not use the device for a long time, it may take longer to charge.

battery.

 

 Stop using the device if you feel sick.

 

 Stop using the device if you feel discomfort on your skin and consult to doctor.

 

 Pay attention to your surroundings when shooting images with the camera.

 

 There may be slightly defective pixels or bright dots in the displayed images. This 

is not a malfunction.

 

 Do not dispose the device with household waste. As the lithium-ion rechargeable 

battery is built-in in the device and there may be a risk of heat generation, fire, or 
explosion due to shock or pressure during collecting waste. When disposing the 
device, first remove the lithium-ion rechargeable battery from the device 
according to the instructions in “When disposing the device” of this manual (back 
side), and then follow your local environmental laws and guidelines.

 

 If you have any questions or problems concerning this device that are not covered
