Fitting the head strap

Fit the head strap if you want to use Onyx hands-free. One head strap 
is supplied already fitted to the arms. There is also a spare head strap.

To fit the head strap:

1. 

Clip the arms onto the brackets on the sides of the headset.

2. 

Place the head strap around the back of your head.

3. 

Adjust the strap using the velcro at each end so that it just takes 
the weight of the headset. The headset should not be resting with 
any weight on your ears or nose (the nose bridge is only used as a 
guide to keep the device centred).

4. 

Adjust the eyepieces so that your eyes are directly in line with the 
center of each display. See page 30.

To replace the head strap:

1. 

Remove the existing head strap from the arms.

2. 

Feed the ends of the replacement strap through the slots at the 
end of each arm.

3. 

Adjust the fit as above.
