Over the Head Mounting To assemble the over the head mounting option to the M100, push the head band mounting ring (4) onto the universal mount (3) on the main body of the M100.

Earbud rotation and headband retraction As shown below, the entire headband also rotates around the universal mount that will allow for different positions of the headband over the users head. This movement also allows the eye piece to be positioned up and down in the user’s field of vision.
Once the headband has been optimally adjusted, we turn our attention to the eyepiece. As shown above, the eyepiece can be tilted towards the eye by as much as plus or minus 15 degrees from center. This allows for the optimum placement of the display eye piece in your vision field from low near the cheek to high near the eyebrow while allowing the eyepiece to be tilted towards the user’s eye.
It is well known that users have an eye preference that is tied to their eye dominance. For this reason, the M100 is designed for either left or right eye use. To use the M100 on either eye, simply rotate the body of the M100 180 degrees around the headband arm mount. The display, camera, and other functions will automatically flip to accommodate this change.
