RUDY PROTECT EXCEPTION, Owner'S Manual

SUGGESTIONS FOR OPTICIANS

Because of the low facial wrap this clip allows for strong prescriptions.  Prescriptions as high as –10.00 are not a problem.
-For prescriptions below -4.00 use poly 1.5 index.
-For prescriptions above -4.00 we suggest to use aspheric 1.6 index lenses.
-Due to less facial wrap, lenses for this clip do not have to be compensated for power change
-Vertex compensation must be calculated.
-A backside anti-reflective coating is suggested.
-High index are not recommended for sports activities.

The Exception incorporates unsurpassed fit factor using Rudy Project’s platform
technologies like 360

°

 adjustable temples, adjustable nosepiece (Ergonose)

and features a revolutionary and ultralight aerospatial alloy temple (Kynetium™)
to create a stunning wraparound masterpiece.

The easy-action flipup lens technology enables you to instantly see clearly
when light condition changes dramatically by flipping up the entire lens system.
Flipup can be removed from the frame with a simple click, allowing the RX or
PLANO configuration.

The Exception offers a vast array of features all packed into a stylish cutting-edge design.  Building on Rudy Project’s success in techno-ergonomic 8-base sport
designs (Ketyum, Rydon) and our revolutionary flip up technology, (RB3, Perception, Kabrio) the Exception is truly a design/technology masterpiece that has
incorporated all of our major technologies in one model – including the option to add RXability using our large (STD) or smaller (LX) optical inserts.  RP Optic
polycarbonate lenses can be put directly into the frame or ingeniously added to our flip-up mechanism that attaches to the frame – offering two vastly different
functionalities and appearances.  The Exception incorporates Quick Change interchangeable lens technology, adjustable Ergonose nose pads (to eliminate fogging)
and adjustable Kynetium temples equipped with our T-lock system (for a customized, total comfort fit every time and for every sport.)  Advanced lightweight
Grilamid TR 90 frame material and techno-geometric wrap technology means you won’t even know you have them on!  Sports enthusiasts and prescription wearers
of all types will swear by Exception after one wearing. The Exception is true breakthrough vision!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

TO REMOVE THE FLIPUP: Raise the Flipup, grasp the frames with one hand and the central fastener with the other. Turn the upper part of the fastener outward
so that it pops out of its housing (Fig. 1).
TO MOUNT THE FLIPUP: After inserting the lower part of the fastener, apply the opposite movement. If it is fastened correctly you will hear a “click” (Fig. 2).
TO RAISE AND LOWER THE FLIPUP: Control of the opening is guaranteed by a micrometric device, closure is ensured by a “click” at the end of the run (Fig. 3).
TO REMOVE THE LENSES FROM THE FRAME AND/OR FLIPUP: Grasp the frames as shown in Fig. 4-6-8. Grip the corner of the lens securely and slide it gently
out, turning it outward.
TO MOUNT LENSES ON THE FRAME AND/OR FLIPUP: Insert the lens in its housing with an upward rotation (Fig. 5-7-9).
ADJUSTABLE TEMPLES: the end of the temple can turn through a 360

°

 angle with slight pressure (Fig. 10). The rubber terminals ensure perfect adherence and

comfort, also thanks to the T-Lock™ retention system.
TOTAL COMFORT SYSTEM™- ERGONOSE™: Adjustable nose pads in Copper-Beryllium with two soft interchangeable pads in Megol®. To adjust, bend the two
ends alternately until you get the most comfortable fit (Fig. 11).

WARNING!

Exception‘s clip-on is made out of Grilamid TR90 and should not be overheated ! (or very slightly - low melting point!) to fit the prescriptions.
Lenses should be inserted playing with the elasticity of the material. Cold snap only. (Same technique applied with Direct Rx on plastic frames).
To clean the insert never use acetone or alcohol, use soap and water or ‘Rudy Project Lens Cleaner’.
