GLOSSARY OF TERMS ACTIVATE: Turn on; tint | DEACTIVATE: Turn off; clear
The CTRL®MS1 electronic-tinting eyewear changes instantly between two levels of tint (on or off) by either a quick press of the button or automati-
cally via the built-in light sensor. These tint levels are fixed and cannot be changed by the user. The eyewear comes pre-programmed with a standard
setting for automatic mode. You can adjust the light sensitivity if you determine that it does not automatically turn on or off to your liking (see “Adjust
Light Sensitivity” below).
TO OPERATE IN MANUAL MODE:
Quickly press and release the button to activate or deactivate the tint of the eyewear.
TO OPERATE IN HANDS-FREE (AUTOMATIC) MODE:
The CTRL®MS1 eyewear can automatically tint in the presence of an activating light. To switch the system to automatic mode, simply press and
hold the button for approximately three (3) seconds. The lens will flash to indicate it has been switched into automatic mode. Release the button. The
eyewear is now set for hands-free (automatic) use.
TO EXIT HANDS-FREE (AUTO) MODE, AND ENTER MANUAL MODE:
Press the button once to go back to manual mode. Note: The lens will turn clear upon exiting automatic mode.
TO ADJUST LIGHT SENSITIVITY:
First, switch the eyewear to automatic mode. Choose an ambient area of light that would be similar to where you want the eyewear to activate. Stand
in your desired lighting condition. Press & hold the button for about four (4) seconds. After four seconds, the lens will flash to indicate the system has
re-calibrated its sensor to your desired setting. Light that is as bright as, or brighter than, your selected ambient lighting will now trigger the sensor. The
electronics will store this custom setting until it is re-adjusted or reset to its factory setting. NOTE: Be sure to keep the area around the light sensor
clear and open to the light source. If your finger is covering the light sensor during the adjustment, the eyewear will stay activated most of the time and
only switch when it is very dark. DO NOT attempt to change the light sensitivity when moving.
FOR A FACTORY RESET:
A factory reset can be performed in either manual or automatic mode. Press and hold the button for approximately six (6) seconds. The lens will cycle
through (2) sets of flashing. After the second set of flashing, the eyewear will be restored to its original factory settings.
CHARGING: Connect the supplied USB cable to eyewear and charge with the e-Tint®charging pack or computer. The lens will tint when charging and
turn off when fully charged. A completely depleted battery will take up to two (2) hours to fully charge. Directions for use of the charging pack are
included with the charger.
CHARGING STORAGE: If the eyewear will be stored for a prolonged period of time, we recommend to fully charge the battery every 2-3 months or
charge in ‘storage mode’ with the e-Tint® charging pack. Doing so will prolong and protect the capacity of the eyewear battery. Directions for use of the
charging pack are included with the charger.
COMFORT & FIT: The CTRL®MS1 is equipped with an adjustable nose piece and 360° bendable temple arms to allow for a comfortable and customized fit.
CLEANING & CARE: Clean with warm water, mild detergent, and a soft cloth. For stubborn residues clean with a household glass cleaner. DO NOT
use cleaners which contain moisturizers, abrasives, strong acids, or caustics. DO NOT immerse the spectacle in liquids. DO NOT leave or store
eyewear in excessive heat when not in use.
